Right, following that thrilling finish to the play-off game at Northampton, we are going to take a break before starting the build-up to the final.
We'll be back with you at about 15:30 BST.
South East Stars 104-8 v Central Sparks 105-8
As I said at the start of that run chase, you just never know in sport.
When Eve and Amy Jones were at the crease, batting was a doddle. When they went, things got much more difficult.
And as often happens, a low scoring chase produced a thrilling finish.
Now the Sparks have just over an hour to calm down, refocus and get ready to take on Southern Vipers in the final.

What a game that was in the end. Credit to the South East Stars because it looked like just a matter of time when Sparks were 59-1.
Sparks 105-8 v Stars 104-8
A full toss from Alice Davidson-Richards and Emily Arlott gets enough on it to get the run her team needs.
The Sparks are in the final, Arlott's 16 not out has got them through.
What a game that turned into, though. Credit to the Stars, and Bryony Smith in particular.
Sparks 104-8 (1 run required)
Oh no, a wide! Two needed.
Arlott scampers a single and Grace Potts is just in at the striker's end. Scores are level.
Sparks 102-8 (3 runs required)
Kalea Moore with ball in hand.
Oh, that is a big shot! Emily Arlott goes aerial and gets four down the ground.
Only three needed now.
Sparks 98-8 (7 runs required)
Grace Potts can't get any runs off the last two balls of Alice Davidson-Richards' over.
Seven needed off 12 balls.
Kirstie Gordon
Lightning and England spin bowler
The tension is so high here - what a game we have.
Glenn c Franklin b Davidson-Richards 8 (Sparks 98-8)
There is the eighth wicket!
Up in the air towards the midwicket boundary and Phoebe Franklin dives forward to take a super catch.
Sarah Glenn goes for eight, unable to get the Sparks over the line.
Seven runs for them. The Stars need two wickets.
Sparks 98-7 (Target 105)
Alice Davidson-Richards to bowl. She really could do with a wicket for her team.
A good one first up, no run. But Sarah Glenn digs out an attempted yorker and gets an easy single into a big gap at mid-on.
Legside and Emily Arlott gets one out in the deep for a single.
Sparks 96-7 (Target 105)
Alice Capsey to continue.
Arlott and Glenn pick up singles off the first two balls. The bowler responds with a dot.
A bad one down leg and Arlott glances it fine and picks up a crucial two.
They exchange singles off the final two balls and that's six off the over.
Nine needed from three overs.
Kirstie Gordon
Lightning and England spin bowler
These two will easily get 15 off 24 (balls), but one more wicket makes it interesting.
Sparks 90-7 (Target 105)
Emily Arlott gets one down to long off for a single off the second ball.
Sarah Glenn, back on strike, plays out a dot before getting a single.
Arlott wraps up the over with a run down to long on. Three off the over, inching closer towards that target.
Southern Vipers await the winners of this match and they are busy honing their skills in the nets. The final will start at 16:00 BST.

Sparks 87-7 (Target 105)
Just a single off Alice Capsey's six balls.
Sarah Glenn just can't find the gaps and the tension is growing around Wantage Road.
18 runs off five overs.
Sparks 86-7 (Target 105)
Emily Arlott and Sarah Glenn nervously pinch three singles off the remaining five balls of Moore's over.
The target is still 19 runs away and that feels a long way off, given how the middle order has subsided.
Kirstie Gordon
Lightning and England spin bowler
I don't think there is a more competent number nine than Emily Arlott. All the Sparks need to do is rotate the strike and take the lowest risk option.
Freeborn b Moore 9 (Sparks 83-7)
Kalea Moore takes the baton off Bryony Smith and bowls Abigail Freeborn first up with one that drifts in and cramps up the batter.
This is incredible.
Has that swung this match decisively towards the South East Stars?
Sparks 83-6 (Target 105)
The Sparks will be so pleased to see the back of Bryony Smith. She finishes with four for 14 off her four overs. Great bowling!
Perrin b Smith 7 (Sparks 79-6)
A beauty!
Bryony Smith continues her one-woman mission to win this game for the Stars as she bowls Davina Perrin with a super ball.
Still 26 required for the Sparks.
