    It's farewell from us for, well, about 25 minutes before we're back with you for the men's match in this double header - that's an 18:30 BST start.

    In the meantime, take a read of Matthew Henry's report as London Spirit maintained their unbeaten start to top the table of The Hundred women's competitions.

    See you in a bit.

  2. 'Three wins is the perfect start'published at 17:50 British Summer Time 11 August

    London Spirit captain Charlie Dean speaking on Sky Sports: "We left it a bit close out there! Brilliant we got over the line again even though it was more challenging than we expected. Brilliant performance from Grace Harris as well."

    On the mood in the team: "We have been improving our confidence game by game. Pulling through in the tricky moments is important. Three wins is the perfect start for us."

    On Grace Harris: "She hits the ball so cleanly. To have her there at the end meant we had a good chance of winning. She is a great personality off the field too. Tara Norris knows her role well too but sometimes spin is better."

    On Heather Knight: "I go to her on the time-outs and her knowledge of how to structure a batting line-up is invaluable. She is really key on and off the pitch.

    "It still feels early to think about winning but we are taking it game by game."

  3. 'I am delighted with my form'published at 17:46 British Summer Time 11 August

    London Spirit all-rounder Grace Harris speaking on Sky Sports: "A tricky wicket to start on and then I tried to cash in at the back end like Deandra Dottin did. I was a bit lazy between the wickets so I will work on that!

    "You have make sure you can stay within a couple of shots of the total. When we needed 26 runs we were in a good place and we had wickets in hands so could take the game on a bit more.

    "Credit to Deandra Dottin because they had a good bowling performance today. A couple more runs on the board and it would have been much trickier chase."

    On the team: "We have been gelling well off the field too and we are really enjoying our cricket."

    On her own performance: "Delighted with my form and my principles are paying off. I hope to continue that. It's nice to contribute with both bat and ball."

    A much better performance from Manchester Originals. It has been such a close game so they will dust it off and go again.

    It is a shame for the Manchester side because they always seem to struggle in the Hundred.

    Four to win it with two balls to spare!

    Full and a little wide from Dottin and Sarah Glenn squeezes the ball past the diving cover fielder.

    That's the game, Grace Harris didn't face any of the last six balls with Glenn finishing the job.

    These are the worst scenarios to be in as a tailender. Sarah Glenn can bat but she will be feeling nervous.

    I am glad Manchester Originals have a mid-wicket fielder in now.

    No run there.

    Sarah Glenn can't get it away.

    Chipped over the covers for two!

    Sarah Glenn remains on strike, Grace Harris loitering at the other end.

    Sarah Glenn to face the hat-trick ball... edged for four!

    A run a ball needed off the final five, Deandra Dottin will bowl with Glenn still on strike.

    Bryce on a hat-trick now!

    Consecutive lbws and Spirit captain Charlie Dean walks off - do her side's chances go with her?

    You may as well review at this stage. The batters are only going to get worse.

    Rapped on the pads by Kathryn Bryce.

    Wong goes now, she appeals mostly because the appeal is still there, it's but it's all reds on the ball tracker.

    Tipped to fine leg for a single, and that's Grace Harris' 50 from 32 balls.

    Another six for Grace Harris!

    A big heave, Alice Monaghan tries to catch on the ropes but the ball lands clear.

  17. Spirit 107-5published at 10 balls left

    16 runs needed

    A fifth four for Grace Harris, reverse-scooping Sophie Ecclestone's first delivery past fine leg.

    Issy Wong then takes consecutive twos - a misfield from Deandra Dottin allowing the second run from the first of those, while Alice Monaghan just about saves a boundary with the second after a bit of a scramble.

    WinViz is at exactly 50/50 as Issy Wong walks to the crease.

    She takes a single to backward square to get her innings going.

    A run a ball required from here, and Grace Harris is still out there on 38 from 28 deliveries.

    Meanwhile Melie Kerr is finished with figures of 2-17 from her 20 balls - an excellent showing, and she's taken two catches to boot!

    There was no need for that from Cordelia Griffith. She was trying to take on one of the best bowlers in the world instead of just trying to get Grace Harris on strike.

    But maybe not anymore!

    It's a short visit to the crease for Cordelia Griffith, who miscues her shot off Melie Kerr to Sophie Ecclestone, who takes an easy catch at long-off.
