Another change of bowling for Vipers as Georgia Elwiss, fresh from her debut summarising stint on TMS at Hove last night for the England v New Zealand T20 international, comes on from the Hotel End...

Bit too short from Paige Scholfield in her first over as twice Lauren Winfield-Hill tucks into the tennis ball bounce on offer.

Second time she cuts commandingly away to the point rope for four to move into double figures.

Change of bowling again for the Vipers as Paige Scholfield replaces Lauren Bell at the Pavilion End...

Lauren Winfield-Hill decides she's going to go on the attack against Charlotte Taylor.

She lofts one over mid-off that plugs in the surface and trickles just short of the rope.

Seven runs from the final over of the powerplay. Vipers will no doubt be the happier having lost the toss.

Spin for the first time in this match as Charlotte Taylor comes on to bowl from the Hotel End...

Another mixed bag of an over from Lauren Bell that contained a wicket, several wides and then a full ball to finish that Hollie Armitage drives through cover for four to get off the mark.

One over of the powerplay to come.

Just two off Tara Norris' second over which finishes with her beating Lauren Winfield-Hill's outside edge.

Decent start so far for the Vipers after losing the toss.

Lauren Winfield-Hill the new batter in at three for Diamonds.

Will her experience be key in this match?

Tall right-armer Lauren Bell to continue with a second over from the Pavilion End.

She played a key role in Southern Brave's run to The Hundred final earlier this summer.

Heath 7, Dobson 1

An early chance goes begging for Vipers as Leah Dobson is dropped at mid-off on nought by Ella McCaughan.

That was a sitter.

Bess Heath then picks up the first boundary of the day as she clips one behind square for four.

Tara Norris shares the new ball for Vipers with Bell and she will bowl the first over from the Hotel End...

Mixed bag of a first over from Lauren Bell.

She started with a very, very wide ball outside off first up.

But there were also a couple of decent straight ones in there too plus half a shout for leg before off the last ball.

Fireworks aplenty and music blaring as the two teams make their way out to the middle.

Lauren Bell will open the bowling for Southern Vipers with Bess Heath and Leah Dobson opening for the Diamonds.

Let's play!

Georgia Adams and Alice Capsey have already experienced the high of lifting a trophy this summer, as members of the Oval Invincibles side that won the inaugural women's final in The Hundred.

But they could find themselves in opposition later today if Southern Vipers skipper Adams can steer her side to victory over Northern Diamonds in the Charlotte Edwards Cup play-off game.

Adams is one of only three batters in the competition to have passed 200 runs in this season's competition, and her side know all about the 20-over format, having reached three of the four finals in the Kia Super League, which ran from 2016 to 2019.

A win over the Diamonds and they will be through to another final - and a showdown with Capsey's South East Stars.

Southern Vipers had a tougher than might have been expected journey to the Ageas Bowl after winning their first three group games.

Defeats by Central Sparks and South East Stars followed, though, before they returned to winning ways with a seven-wicket victory over Lightning, with Tara Norris taking 3-26, and progressed as the best runners-up.

Northern Diamonds began their challenge with a 12-run defeat by North West Thunder, but recovered with three wins before losing by four wickets to Western Storm at Chester-le-Street.

It all came down to the final round of matches and although Storm beat Sunrisers, Diamonds topped the group on net run rate following an eight-wicket win over Thunder, thanks to Bess Heath's 58 not out.

Told you so.

She may have led England to World T20, World Cup and Ashes triumphs, and celebrated domestic titles as player and coach - but she has not, as far as we know, won a competition named after her.

That could all change today. First, though, the Southern Vipers team she coaches have to get past Northern Diamonds for the right to face South East Stars.

It's a repeat of last summer's 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final when Vipers beat Diamonds by 38 runs.

Will they come out on top again? Charlotte Edwards certainly hopes so.
