    Wong c Bouchier b Tryon 0 (Spirit 115-6)

    A second catch for Maia Bouchier!

    The Brave fielder dropped Cordelia Griffith earlier, but she holds on here.

    Issy Wong comes on strike and makes a mess of a slog sweep, sending the ball up to long-on to be taken.

    Going down the track was finally Cordelia Griffith's downfall, but before that, she had scored 19 runs off nine balls while stepping outside her crease against spin.

    Charli Knott hit it to one of the best fielders in the women's game and you're not going to get away with that.

    Knott run out (Wyatt-Hodge) 36 (Spirit 113-5)

    Silly run attempt!

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge had literally just been saying on player mic that she needed to concentrate because she hadn't seen much of the ball in the field - now she has a run-out.

    Charli Knott hits to her in the covers and sets off - no run there and she's sent back, but not in time to beat the throw.

    That was only the second 50+ partnership for London Spirit this season, and both of them have involved Cordelia Griffith.

  7. Spirit 108-4published at 80 balls

    Tilly Corteen-Coleman to bowl her final set of deliveries.

    It goes for five runs and she finishes with figures of 0-20.

    Not a bad birthday return, although she'll be disappointed not to have the wicket of Cordelia Griffith on her books.

    Excellent partnership between the two of them and they have laid the platform now. I don't mind the intent but you have to get there early, set your feet and hit through the line of the ball.

    Cordelia Griffith gave herself a bit too much room. Perhaps, if you're going to come down the wicket, come down the wicket straight.

    It's a really good knock there.

    Griffith c Bell b Adams 44 (Spirit 103-4)

    Goes boundary hunting... gets caught.

    Cordelia Griffith had already struck Georgia Adams for four through the covers, bringing up the Spirit hundred, and she goes to loft the set's last ball over long-off.

    Instead she skews the ball up into the air for Lauren Bell to take at short third.

    Griffith goes for 44 after being dropped on 11 and a partnership of 67 comes to an end.

    London Spirit have played nicely and got themselves back in this game. They've played it nicely, hit the spaces and run hard.

  12. Spirit 97-3published at 70 balls

    Chloe Tryon gets introduced into the attack.

    The left-arm spinner goes for six runs from her first five deliveries, with Charli Knott taking two in the covers.

    The home side now have two new batters out there in Harry Brook and David Miller.

    This is now the most balls faced by Cordelia Griffith in a Hundred innings; she has been guilty of throwing it away in the past, having had nine dismissals between balls 10-20. This is only the second time she has faced more than 20 balls in an innings, and both of them have come this season and at Lord's.

    It is just a question of whether Brave can stop those singles, you can see almost all the fielders are on the ring.

  16. Spirit 91-3published at 65 balls

    A trio of singles off Sophie Devine, with the second bringing up the 50 partnership off 29 balls, before Charli Knott hits the New Zealander's final delivery for four through the covers.

  17. Tom Curran makes instant impactpublished at 51 balls

    Men's competition: Northern Superchargers 88-2 against Oval Invincibles

    Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings turns to Tom Curran and the move pays dividend as the bowler strikes with his very first ball to remove Dan Lawrence.

    After a blistering start, Northern Superchargers have now lost two quick wickets with Invincibles wresting back some control halfway through this innings.

    Captain Harry Brook is the new batter in for Superchargers and will hope to build with Dawid Malan, who has looked settled in the middle.

    When an opposition team gets going, it's a good time to call that strategic time-out.

  19. Spirit 84-3published at 60 balls

    And four off the next delivery!

    Worked away nicely through the covers.

    A single to long-on follows and Griffith moves to 39 from 27 balls having been dropped on 11, while this partnership is now worth 48.

    Brave have called a strategic time-out as they look to stem a bit of Spirit momentum.

    Spirit 79-3published at 58 balls

    Hello there, Cordelia Griffith!

    Two sixes from three balls for the Spirit batter off Mady Villiers.

    She clears the ropes at long-on and then strikes it a little loopily over long-off.
