    Moeen Ali says it was a tough decision and one that "he wouldn't have minded losing".

    He says that Southern Brave are a good chasing side so he wants to put pressure on their batting unit.

    Southern Brave were massively impressive in their eliminator over Trent Rockets last night, though.

    George Garton, in particular, was fantastic with the ball up front. He'll play an important role today too.

    Let's hope we get a bit more of this from Liam Livingstone tonight.

    He won't be captain tonight, with Moeen Ali being released from the England Test squad to play.

    We'll bring you news of the toss and the teams shortly.

    Thanks Ffion.

    When we all arrived in the office this afternoon we were worried we might not see any cricket. We've already had one final, and the sun is now starting to shine at Lord's.

    Strap yourselves in. The men's final between Birmingham Phoenix and Southern Brave gets underway at 18:30 BST, and it should be a cracker.

    Well, that was fun, wasn't it?!

    And don't go anywhere because in case you didn't know, there's another final coming up.

    Here's Callum Matthews to take you through it.

    Women's Hundred MVP

    Dane van Niekerk has been uncatchable at the top of the Most Valuable Player table and finishes with 129.2 points, Birmingham Phoenix's Erin Burns is second and young Alice Capsey comes in at third on 103.1. Her first time in the top three and what a day to make the break through.

    Will we see Tash Farrant back in an England shirt later this summer? Will we see Alice Capsey getting her first call up?

    Based on Heather Knight's comments tonight, I wouldn't be surprised.

    Tash Farrant has been play of the tournament for me. It was a massive statement from her.

    I'm really proud of what she has done.

    No surprises to see Marizanne Kapp as the Match Hero. A stunning performance.

    Match Hero Marizanne Kapp on BBC Two: "I'm really happy that I've been able to contribute after missing a couple of games. I'd felt like I'd let the team down missing those games so it was nice to take a couple of wickets today.

    "As soon as I saw the first ball moving I knew I was in with a shot today.

    "I thought we were 10-15 runs short at the halfway point, so I knew that we needed to get wickets, that is why I asked for the second slip."

    Oval Invincibles' captain Dane van Niekerk: "I couldn't have asked for a better day or performance from the team. I couldn't have expected this to happen. All credit to the team, they did exceptionally well.

    "It is so historical and special. I don't know if I'll ever be able to take in playing here. It was a childhood dream to play a final here and win it. It is special.

    "I'm glad yesterday happened, because I wasn't as nervous today. I just said to the girls that we could wing today."

    Oval Invincibles' Alice Capsey on BBC Two: "I'm about to cry - I'm lost for words. You dream of getting here, but to win it, is a feeling that you don't feel often.

    "My mum and dad are here - it'll be nice to go and see them shortly. It has been incredible.

    "To play in the tournament with players like Marizanne Kapp and Dane van Niekerk has been amazing and I've learned so much. There's exciting times ahead!

    "I'm happy that I performed with the England captain watching. Always nice to keep your name out there!"

    A reminder of how remarkable the last 24 hours have been for the Oval Invincibles.

    From winning the first game of The Hundred, to winning the whole thing.

    What a moment as captain Dane van Niekerk lifts The Hundred trophy with her team.

    It looks pretty heavy, it is absolutely huge - she does really well to lift it over her head!

    They are buzzing, and who can blame them.
