Matt Roller notes that this is the highest total in a women's Hundred final. Will that be good enough? Pitch seems to be playing well. As Cross said, the outfield is great. Could be a cracking chase that's coming up. Stay tuned.
Stat from Sampath: This is the second highest total at Lord's in the women's competition
Kate Cross: Atmosphere has been electric. You could feel the crowd coming in. Good game as well. Think it's a par score, it was a hard-fought innings. We took wickets, they fought back with the partnerships and there were wickets at the end. But to get Smriti and Bouchier out early was a big win for us. Obviously, Wyatt was world class. Good cricket shots are key, it's a good pitch, outfield is lightning, whoever stays calm under pressure will win.
3:26pm: Superchargers have been set a 140-run target by Brave. Seems a good score, who got the upper hand in the first innings? Hard to say. Smriti and Bouchier going out early was big. Cross and Ballinger were great with the new ball. Wyatt faced her first ball after a long wait but managed to get going. She was smart and aggressive. Her 88-run stand with Adams propelled the innings. Her freak run out was executed well by Cross and may have cost a few runs. Freya Kemp accelerated in the end to keep the momentum going. Higham bowled well, the catching was on and off. Cross finished off well at the end but Brave have a decent total to defend.
Raji: "It could have been perfect last set from Cross if she did hit the stumps … "
