    Watch this space with Alice Capsey. She is an exciting young player, and that's the beauty of these tournaments. We've got an opportunity to see her on a big stage now, and she's stepped up and performed.

    She's going to remember this for the rest of her career.

    London Spirit finish off their innings with a fine six over deep mid-wicket from Danielle Gibson.

    But they fall short by 15 runs and it's Oval Invincibles who win this one at Lord's to make it two wins from two.

    This is a chance to impress the crowd, entertain everyone, potentially be moved up the order, and ultimately just have a little bit of fun.

    Spirit need 24 more to win

    Mady Villiers sending down the last set of five from the Pavilion End.

    Danielle Gibson strikes her for back-to-back fours but it's all a little bit too late for Spirit.

    Spirit need 34 more to win

    Sixes needed here every ball to win it.

    Anything less and Invincibles have a second win from as many games.

    Tash Farrant has impressed me today. She has kept the stumps in play, and she deserves the two wickets she has taken.

    Mady Villiers unfortunately slides past the ball as she tries to stop a boundary and Charlie Dean gets the four.
