4.55pm: Right, no time to sit back on Super Double Double-Header Sunday - the men's game down at Southampton looks to be getting away from the home side, chasing Superchargers' super-charged total of 201, and it'll soon be toss time in game two at The Oval. Choose your adventure (there's also a T20I going on in the Caribbean, if that's your thing). Bye!
4.50pm: Sensational from Fire, despite a few nerves in the chase. A second big upset in a row, after becoming the first team in the women's competition to beat Brave at the Ageas Bowl on Friday. They are top of the table with two wins and a no result. A word from Shabnim Ismail, the Match Hero after her 3 for 12: [Pleased?] "Yeah, 100%, I summed up the wicket early on, knew the ball was going to shape here at the Oval, wanted to come out and do well for the team. We spoke about it, go straighter lines and the ball will do a lot here. [Van Niekerk chat at halfway] She said she misses me! The Welsh have been great towards me, so happy and chuffed and excited we won today. [Competitive spirit] It'll always be in my genes, I had a month to prepare, still want to put up winning games for the Welsh."

Smale to Griffiths, 1 run, tossed up outside off, drilled to mid-on, who lets the ball slip through. That's it, Fire win by three wickets! They've knocked over the double defending-champs on their own manor!
