Terrific chase from Brave to extend their lead at the top of the table, but they are not yet assured of a direct entry to the final. Right, that's all we have got for you from the women's game. But don't go too far, the men will soon get going. Thanks for joining us. Take care and ciao!
It was Bates and Scholfield's efforts in the last few sets that set Invincibles for a decent total, one they should have been confident of defending on a surface that was slowing down and assisting spin. But their seamers couldn't exert enough control and that spilled over to the spinners, with Villiers starting well but then travelling the distance in her third set. As a result, their campaign comes to a pre-mature end.
Anya Shrubsole, Brave captain: "Unbelievable. We looked to be out for it. Pleased for Kemp, she has had a tricky competition so far. Works really hard for a 18-year-old kid and glad it has come off. I told the girls that it would be nice to knock them off. Our top three have been outstanding, middle order hadn't had a lot of chance. Adams has been incredible last season and this season. I think people keep underestimating her. She enjoys pressure situations and keeps performing. Kemp is left-handed and bowlers have to change their lines, fielders have to change sides. If we can get her to perform, that would be great for us. [Crowd] What it does is it sets them up for international cricket."
4:58pm The defending champions Oval Invincibles have been knocked out of the women's Hundred! And this is a statement win from Brave, who were quite behind the 8-ball for a large part of the chase. The spotlight was on the middle order after both Mandhana and Wyatt fell early and Adams, the experienced allrounder, put her hand up. A majestic half-century added to her exploits with the ball, with which she is the leading wicket-taker this season. Teenager Kemp proved to be the perfect foil. She is playing this competition as a pure batter after returning from a stress fracture of the back. Hadn't really fired but chose a perfect occasion. A record crowd at the Ageas Bowl for the women's Hundred treated to a stunning chase. Invincibles have been vanquished in the women's Hundred.
Georgia Adams, Player of the Match: "Obviously feels great. Really special day for Anya Shrubsole. That kept us going. Can't not have a W in her last game at the Ageas. For Kemp to go out and play like that is massive. You have to be positive, can't afford to take the foot off the pedal. I have been told off in the past for not taking my bowling seriously. Have been working on varying the pace. Nice to have the allrounder status, takes pressure off from both aspects of the game. Can never take Invincibles for granted. Really important at the back end to take the momentum in the final stages."
Gray to bowl the final set of the game. Brave need 5
