81 balls to go

Target 120

First maximum of the innings.

That's too full from Carey and Gibson, who struck a boundary just off the previous delivery, follows up with a six over long on.

Just over mid on!

That came off the inside-half of Gibson's bat but she gets just enough to clear the fielder and get four.

The Fire need early wickets and they'll sure hope they'll see more of that variable bounce.

It's been a very solid start for London Spirit so far.

It is just too easy. When you are defending a low totals your bowlers have to be on it from ball one and at the moment they have been found wanting

Filer's first ball goes for four as well. She drops it short and Gibson heaves it through mid-wicket.

Oooh and the next one skids along the carpet, nearly takes the paint off of off stump on it's way.

You need an early wicket when you are defending a low total. If Welsh Fire could get Beth Mooney they would be right in this game.

Good comeback from Nicholas after being struck for four off her first ball.

She tightened things up and bowled a lot straighter. Just one run off the next four deliveries.

A touch too short and wide and that's all Gibson needs as she cuts it through point for a boundary.

That's the first set done, not a bad one for either team as seven runs come off it.

Not the best of starts from Alex Hartley. She should take a leaf out of London Spirit's book and see how straight they were bowling.

Mooney has got one away early.

Hartley strayed on the pads and Mooney swept that away nicely past fine leg.

Okay, we're almost ready to go.

The Fire are in a huddle while the Spirit's openers, Mooney and Gibson, march out.

Alex Hartley to bowl first up. You'll hear from her later as well, she's on the player mic.

I’m inside the pavilion now where it’s really nice to see lots of kids, who wouldn’t have the chance during other matches, wandering around the famous corridors and looking at the paintings of all the cricket legends on the walls.

It’s the first time I’ve been in here. Pretty cool.

So one of these two sides are finally going to get some points on the board today.

Who will it be? Thumbs up if you reckon it's the Fire and thumbs down if you fancy Spirit's chances.

I’ve walked around by the famous Lord’s pavilion and there are lots of kids on the seats below the Long Room doors. Lord’s has relaxed its dress code and minimum age requirements for the pavilion during The Hundred which is surely a good thing.

Thanks Ffion.

The Fire lost all the momentum towards the back end there didn't they? And you're spot-on when you say they need to do one better than they did against the Brave the other day if they are to win this one.

Welsh Fire bowled brilliantly against Southern Brave on Monday. They'll need that and more today to get past the likes of Beth Mooney and Amelia Kerr in London Spirit's batting line up.

Home crowd will be very happy with that effort. Nine wickets taken in just 100 balls.

The batters scamper a single from the last ball, and London Spirit need 120 runs to win.

A disappointing end for Welsh Fire, who started so positively with Tammy Beaumont and Sarah Bryce. Spirit's bowlers will be very happy with how they fought back.

If you're gonna swing, swing hard.

Hannah Baker has a swipe and the ball races off the edge for four!
