Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Andrew Miller

5.26pm So that is a wrap from the Women's final. Thanks for joining us, but don't stray too far... the men's final is coming up straight after ... [checks notes] a musical interlude from Zara Larsson. She's not quite Sabrina Carpenter, but she's got some bellows to be fair.

Dani Gibson is speaking to the BBC: "Really important for me to get off to a good start and I've never played a pull shot well. Disappointed with how I bowled but that innings made me feel a lot better. I'm not assessing the pitch at all, see ball, hit ball, play on instincts. Hitting the stumps, Glenny, Deano, Deepti did that really well. This is pretty up there, a great group of girls. It's a really heavy trophy, Heather needs to go to the gym more. A bit of dancing to come, a bit of singing." Baggy Trousers, Madness, is her song of choice, incidentally. "A great group of girls, pleased everyone pulled their weight at diffferent times."

5.17pm Time for the trophy lift! Heather Knight takes the stage, lifts the trophy and leads London Spirit's celebrations!

5.04pm Seven years after lifting the Women's World Cup at Lord's, Heather Knight will claim the Women's Hundred Trophy for the Lord's-based London Spirit! Ismail is gutted by her failure to save the day, but her bowling was a lone stand-out for Fire... between Georgia Redmayne's anchoring 34, and vital impetus from Knight and Gibson, Spirit always had their noses ahead.

Deepti Sharma: "To hit the six to win the game, a great feeling, I was not nervous, I had confidence I could do it. I think positive!"

Charlie Dean: "Not good for the nails, but always thought we had it."

Georgia Redmayne: "A long time between boundaries, Ismail bowled great with key wickets. I don't think you ever feel in control in a final, but so proud in front of a record crowd at Lord's."

Heather Knight: "It was tense, I'm an awful watcher, feeling sick for last 20-30 balls, Deepti made a meal of it in the end, kept us on tenterhooks... I'm worried about the trophy lift, it's quite heavy! Dani Gibson, you little beauty, changed the game!"

Tammy Beaumont: "I'm so proud of the girls to fight like they did, at the time-out it was there to lose. Gutted, we'll have loved to win. We've got in some good people, Gareth (Breese) and I had a vision to make it more than just a franchise that you turn up to. We were ten light with the bat, but credit to Spirit, they kept taking wickets through the middle."

Matthews to Sharma, SIX, hoisted over long-on for six! Deepti wins the Women's Hundred for Spirit! Shabnim Ismail flung herself backwards on the rope, got her hands to it, but had no chance to close the deal! A fine final ends in emphatic style!

Matthews to Dean, 1 run, Rank full toss, and somehow Dean fails to put it away! Flat-batted to the midwicket sweeper, at least it was on the bounce!

A dot ball here and all bets are off. Dean loves a reverse-sweep...

Matthews to Sharma, 1 run, drags the sweep off the off-stump line, doesn't time it but picks off the single

It's getting rowdy again... We had the first Hundred Super Five last night... is there another loading? Deepti and Dean, reunited in the middle at Lord's... let's have a RONSBU to liven things up further!

END OF OVER:
19 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | LS-W: 110/6 (6 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 5.78, RRR: 6.00)

Jonassen to Sharma, OUT, crazy run-out! Firm sweep, straight to midwicket, there's never a run there, Freeborn hurtles down the pitch and has no chance of getting back! A madcap innings from Freeborn, running free!
