Thanks everyone for your company this afternoon. We've a men's game still to come, with Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf playing their final games of the tournament... Alan Gardner is behind the keys for that one. From Matt and Thilak, that's all folks!
Beaumont is the Match Hero (shock!): "I thought it was a pretty good wicket!" she says. "The bowlers did really well. We learned the other day that there's quite a strong breeze towards the Taff. Alana King has got me in her pocket, so I thought I would try not to get out to her. I wasn't trying to be too aggressive against her. Today, I thought I'd lower the risk against her and attack at the other end. [Bryce] She's been crucial for us. She times the ball beautifully and I love batting with her. She has been the unsung hero. We had to bowl well because they came hard. For Freya Davies, to go at less than a run a ball, absolutely outstanding."
5.39pm: Welsh Fire go top! They were wooden spoon winners in the first two seasons but have built an excellent squad with a committed captain who has a point to prove, and she has proved it in style this afternoon with the highest score in the history of the Hundred. Beaumont leads her team off and takes the applause, as Hartley jokes that she might have an outside shot at the Match Hero award... A convincing win in the end, with Rockets fading after a bright start and Harmanpreet Kaur playing a bizarrely restrained innings towards the back end.
