London Spirit captain Heather Knight, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was nervy one. We really wanted to win a game at home. We have had such good support. Hopefully we can get some momentum for the back end of the competition.
"I thought Tammy and Deandra were brilliant. We spoke about having those partnerships in the middle.
"We are doing a lot right, it is just about doing it a bit longer."

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraWhat a terrific innings from Dottin. She was under pressure, the team was under pressure and they lost captain Heather Knight. She stayed there and made sure they crossed the line. That is a big win for the London Spirit.
It was a terrific game. Most games are going down to the wire. It is great to see women's cricket live on television and playing live in front of us.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIt was so close. For a moment I thought it was going straight to the fielder. That is a very, very important boundary.

And there is the boundary!
Another little shimmy out of the crease from Deandra Dottin, and she lofts the ball just - and I mean just - over the fingertips of the fielder at mid-off for four!
Dottin nearly fell over after that as she ended up a touch off balance.

Down the ground goes Danielle Gibson, but just a single.
They need a boundary...
