Emma
Mulhall: Our daughter is six and has started playing this year. We always have cricket on the TV at home, but she's never been interested in watching it until The Hundred came along. We went to a match at The Oval and she absolutely loved it - the simple countdown to/from 100 makes it so much more accessible for her.
Archie Jenkins:Great quality of cricket both women’s and men’s games. Potentially slightly over the top with excessive music, but a great concept.

A wise decision from Brave to bowl first under the grey clouds of London? Time will tell.
We'll bring you the full teams shortly.

It's first blood to Southern Brave as Anya Shrubsole wins the toss and opts to field first.

Just because Brave came out on top last time, it's definitely not guaranteed to be the same today. In last night's eliminator, Oval Invincibles looked completely out of it with a below par score of 114.
That was until The Hundred's leading wicket taker, Tash Farrant, came along with a game-changing catch and a spell of four wickets for just 10 runs.
The unexpected victory will have given them plenty of confidence and momentum leading in to today's final.
From Brave's bowlers, Australia's Amanda-Jade Wellington has been the star. She is currently the third-highest wicket taker with 13, but what's significant is her contribution the last time they played Oval Invincibles just a few days ago.
The leg spinner took four wickets for just 12 runs as the Invincibles were all out for just 85.
Toss at 14:45 BST
We don't have long until the two captains make their way to the middle and contest the toss.
I'll be honest, when I woke up this morning and looked at the weather forecast I did not think we'd be starting on time!
Southern Brave topped the table at the end of
the group stages, losing just one game to Manchester Originals – but they had
already qualified by that point. So who are their key players that got them here?
Sophia Dunkley is just five runs behind
Jemimah Rodrigues as the competition’s highest run scorer, and few would bet
against her rising to the top of that table by the end of today. After a
career-defining summer that included scores of 70+ on both Test and ODI debuts
for England, and now a chance at winning The Hundred, it’s been a year to
remember for the 23-year-old.

Hello from Lord's where, slightly surprisingly after the rain that has been around, the covers are being taken off. We will be starting on time at 15:00 BST if there is no further rain.
The two sides are warming up on either side of the outfield before this historic game.
It'll be the first domestic women's final on this famous ground ever.
