5.50pm How wonderful it would have been for Fire and the tournament if they - placed at the bottom - had become the first team to beat Brave in the tournament. But the way they crumbled - losing 8 for 27 - sums up their tournament this time. That's the end of the league stage of the Women's Hundred, we'll have the Eliminator (London Spirit vs Northern Superchargers) on Saturday and the winner of that taking on Brave in the final at Lord's on Sunday. It's almost time for the toss for the men's game tonight - head over there for the action. And that's all from me, Vishal Dikshit, for tonight. Ciao!

Here's Lauren Bell: "Been a good tournament, it's a really nice group. We bowled exceptionally well to squeeze that total. I feel in a really good place now and with my action. We are an unbelievable fielding unit. It's great momentum going into the final on Sunday. The thinking is to just be really clear."

5.39pm An excellent show from Bell and an excellent turnaround from Southern Brave to defend just 106. That means Brave become the first team - men or women - to finish the Hundred league stage unbeaten. All the cameras are on Bell, who has 19 wickets to her name. Fire will be utterly disappointed though, that they couldn't even get close to the target after keeping the best team of the tournament to 106. They have a really solid top four, but none of them could build on the decent start to get them close.

Bell to Ismail, OUT, it's number four for Bell! Magical figures of 4 for 6 and it seals Brave's unbeaten run to the final. Ismail made room again, got a thick edge off the swipe and handed a catch to short third

Bell to Ismail, no run, Ismail makes room and connects with that, but can't clear mid-off

Bell to Griffiths, OUT, another wicket for Bell as Griffiths gets a leading edge while trying to take the aerial route, it goes high on the off side, and Devine settles under it nicely although she might have been looking into the sun

Bell to Griffiths, no run, 68mph, nice and quick outside off. The batter had made room so she can't connect with this one

Bell to Griffiths, no run, starts on the leg side, Griffiths can barely connect while trying to put it away

30 to win from 5. We know who's the favourite. Bell to finish things off

Raji: "You gotta be kidding me. I thought this match was done and dusted when Devine's stump rattled "
