  1. Goodbye

    That's it from us on this game, so thanks for joining us!

    But while we wait for the men's fixture, which starts at 19:00 BST, you can follow England's attempt to fight out a draw here.

  2. There were some errors in the field that they'll want to put right in the final, and they'll be grateful this drop for six didn't cost them too much!

  3. So if these two teams do meet again in the final, it's Southern Brave who will have the upper hand after this thrashing.

    We were wondering how they'd get on without Smriti Mandhana, but they proved today why they've gone straight into the final and won seven of their eight games.

    The capitulation is the worrying aspect for the Invincibles. There wasn't a lot of thought process in some of the dismissals. Before you knew it, the game was over in a flash.

  5. There's quite a lot to unpack there. The Invincibles slipped from 64-3 to 85 all out.

    Lauren Bell and Amanda-Jade Wellington the heroes for the Brave, with three wickets each.

    The Oval Invincibles weren't invincible today. A terrific effort with the ball from the Brave, led by Amanda-Jade Wellington.

  7. SOUTHERN BRAVE WIN

    Anya Shrubsole takes the final wicket, and that's not a great showing from the Oval Invincibles.

    This is the Invincibles hitting the panic button. It has been a little bit frenetic, to be polite. No real thought has gone in to some of the shots. They are not out of the game in terms of the score needed, but they keep losing wickets.

    WICKET

    Bryce c Rudd b Bell 0 (Invincibles 80-8)

    What. Is. Happening. Sarah Bryce swings hard, but can only get an edge through to Rudd behind the stumps. What a comeback from the Southern Brave.

  19. Invincibles 80-7

    36 more runs needed

    And breathe.

    Amanda-Jade Wellington has four wickets for just 12 runs from her 20 balls.

    For the Invincibles, it's 36 runs from 15 balls. There were some loose shots in that flurry of wickets.
