    These two have done nicely. Spirit still have Deandra Dottin to come - she's a seriously dangerous player.

    Tammy Beaumont has been biding her time, and now she steps back to smash Alice Capsey through the off side for four.

    Spirit are getting into their stride now.

    Heather Knight just plays spin bowling so well.

  7. Spirit 45-1published at 39 balls

    And another! A classical sweep from Knight off Villiers is just too good and reaps another four.

  8. Spirit 39-1published at 36 balls

    Now it is Maddie Villiers' turn to get the Heather Knight treatment as she shovels the ball away for a four in almost the same place as the last.

    It was almost like it bounced on concrete as that ball kicked on.

    It's great to see the seam bowlers making it hard for the batters because bowling straight is difficult on this wicket.

  13. Spirit 25-1published at 29 balls

    Marizanne Kapp is back on and although she keeps the pressure on, a couple of wides have added to the total, but Spirit are still struggling.

    This is the exact start the Invincibles wanted. They've used their two world-class seamers brilliantly.

  15. Spirit 22-1published at 24 balls

    Much better from Jo Gardner, who slides, picks up and throws to save a boundary in one flowing movement.

    London Spirit will be grateful for that misfield. They'll be grateful for anything they can get right now.

    It was one which you'd expect a wicketkeeper to catch. She's made a bit of a meal of it.

    Dropped catch - Spirit 11-1published at 17 balls

    Chance!

    Heather Knight edges Ismail and Invincibles keeper Sarah Bryce drops the chance diving away to her right. Should have taken that, and Ismail is not happy.

  20. Spirit 10-1published at 11 balls

    Tash Farrant is on, but her first ball is stroked to the rope for the first boundary of the day by Tammy Beaumont.
