    The players are making their way back out, Dane van Niekerk sharing some last-minute words of wisdom with her team in a huddle.

    Here we go!

    Perhaps not, looking at these numbers.

    The Oval Invincibles have made the most catches (40) and have the highest catch success rate (82%) of any team in the women’s edition of The Hundred so far.

    And on that note, why don't we take a look at Tash Farrant's grab from yesterday that kickstarted Birmingham Phoenix's collapse and secured Invincibles' place in the final?

    The conditions for play are ... not great. It has been raining, but the umpires kept them out there to keep the game going.

    It showed with this drop from Sophia Dunkley that the ball is slippery and not easy for fielding. Will that impact the Invincibles as well?

    I think it's a competitive total. They got off to a slow start but a couple of good partnerships was the key. Invincibles have a brilliant bowling attack, possibly the best in the competition, so they have a great chance.

    Thanks, Kal!

    So, 122 for the Southern Brave to chase to become the first ever winners of The Hundred women's competition. Or can Invincibles defend it?

    I think we could be in for a thriller!

    Southern Brave need 122 runs to beat Oval Invicibles in the final of the women's competition.

    Taking you through to the end of this game is Ffion Wynne.

    The ball has followed Maia Bouchier in the field today, and she finally gets a simple one!

    Villiers c Bouchier b Shrubsole 13 (Invincibles 121-5)

    She hits it high but not far enough! And Maia Bouchier, who has been in the action a fair bit in the field, takes a good catch at long-on.

    Gardner takes the single. Now then, one ball left. What can Villiers do here?

    Villiers clears the inner field but it's just the single.

    It's Anya Shrubsole to bowl the final five. Four from her first two delivery, courtesy of a misfield.

    A dot ball and a single. A very good comeback from Morris having been hit for consecutive fours.

    But it's been an impressive innings - given the Invincibles a bit of momentum.

    Southern Brave needed that wicket. Marizanne Kapp can really hurt you at the end of an innings.

  16. wicket

    Kapp c Wellington b Morris 26 (Invincibles 114-5)

    One swing too many! Marizanne Kapp slices it up towards point and is caught easily by Wellington.

    Kapp finds the boundary again! Back down the ground!

  18. Incincbles 110-4published at Ball 91

    Morris bowls.

    It's another brilliant Kapp sweep for four! Nine more of those will do nicely for Invincibles.

    Edged and four! Villiers is off the mark with a boundary first ball.

    Wait, make that back-to-back boundaries as she smashes Bell through the leg side.

    The seamer then nearly takes her third wicket, the ball just falling short of the fielder at mid-off.

    Mady Villiers is one of my favourite players. Can she pick up where Capsey left off?
