Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: Matt Roller and Ekanth

It's a busy day at the Hundred, the purist's format, as the match between Southern Brave and London Spirit's men's teams is about to get underway. Head over there. Signing off here is me Ekanth, on behalf of my co-commentator Matt Roller, and our scorers, Ranjith P and Binoy George.

Anya Shrubsole, Southern Brave Captain: Good to get a win, it was an unbelievable batting pitch. Mooney was exceptional. Makes captains go out of ideas. But it was nice to see Wyatt stand up. (On the score) We thought it was par, I thought keeping them to 140-150 was good. But the track was so good for batting. Mooney manipulated the fields really well. But we our batters did great too. We don't have Tahlia, she'll be back and will hopefully express herself. (On Kemp's sixes) We were laughing, knowing that she'll set up for the slower ones and whack them. She's a special talent, she'll have more opportunities with the bat and show it in the future as well. (On team stability) The top-4 or 5 is set, but we will be flexible based on match-ups and situations which is a luxury for us. (On playing after international retirement) I didn't feel that grateful when Mooney was bashing it. But I'm happy to be bowling, this tournament has had a great start. The tracks should be great for batting. It was outstanding last year, this year promises to be better. (On Georgia Adams) Her bowling was effective, no frills. She won't do loads of things but is effective. She adds an extra spinning option, she's keen on doing well low down the order and not be piegon-holed as an opener. We'll be heading to London and face Oval on Sunday, quick turnover and it's hot but it's exciting.

Danni Wyatt (65 off 34): Nice wicket, happy to contribute to the win. My job at the top is to go out and be brave, put it away it's in my zone and it's nice to have done it today. I'm trying to get stronger in the gym. You need to pick your bowlers. One of Smriti and I needed to make it count after getting in, glad I did it today. Mooney was exceptional, thought one of us needed to do it to come close.

5:36 pm: Two days, two record chases. Charlotte Edwards is chuffed as Southern Brave, on the back of Danni Wyatt and Sophia Dunkley, chased down 155 with 6 balls to spare. They were under the cosh with the ball, but started with optimism. Wyatt and Mandhana added 62, Dunkley supported Wyatt until she was gone. It was followed by a hiccup after Bouchier was done by an Amelia Kerr googly. But Dunkley carried on, and cleared the chase with the support of Adams at first, and Freya Kemp who came in and hit sixes for fun. Spirits need not be too disheartened as they created multiple chances, many of which were chop-ons past the stumps. But Mooney's keeping was rusty, she missed a chance. There were misfields and dropped chances in the field which they'll have to iron out.

Dean to Dunkley, FOUR, Doesn't start well, that should effectively be over. This one's full and slow on leg, Dunkley took one step down, sat and swept it behind square. Aerial and in the gap for four.

Dean takes up the responsibility of bowling the penultimate set,
