So it looks like I won't get post-match on TV, so that's that from me. Spirit looked like their season was done at 87 for 9, but that unbeaten last wicket partnership may prove priceless to their campaign. That's it from me, join us for the men's game later this evening

Kerr to MacDonald-Gay, OUT, finishes up with a brilliant catch! Clothed back to the bowler, who dived to her right sharply to pluck it out of the air with one hand. The best bit of fielding all game comes off the last delivery, and the Spirit have got themselves a huge result here
R MacDonald-Gay c & b Kerr 2 (8m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

1
Kerr to Smale, 1 run, googly, inside half of the bat into the onside

Kerr to Smale, FOUR, slapped over mid-off for four. It was a touch overpitched and well-struck by Smale
19.2
W
Kerr to Gray, OUT, swing and a miss, and Kerr cleans her up! It's all happening quickly now, and the Spirit, who needed a win to stay alive, and looked like they wouldn't get it, are about to get a big one
E Gray b Kerr 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

W
Kerr to Villiers, 1 run, OUT, works it to long-on and comes back for a second she never really looked like she would complete. The umpire review finds her short
MK Villiers run out 11 (12m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 110.00
END OF OVER:19 | 6 Runs | OI-W: 91/7 (28 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 4.78, RRR: 28.00)

1
Norris to MacDonald-Gay, 1 run, hits it to mid-off and they take a single, simply banking on the fielder missing the direct hit. There's a chance at the other end they don't take either, but it doesn't matter much now
