    Here they come, in their flame red-orange shirts. The Blaze team are greeting Emma Jones as their hero, she's got a boundary from the last ball of the match and The Blaze have got home with three wickets to spare.

    Dramatic stuff, you feel for Daisy Gibb and you feel for Hampshire because they have come, so so close - that's a final for the ages.

    34* off 25 balls for Emma Jones.

    She started slowly, but got them over the line eventually.

    Hampshire have only themselves to blame, dropping five catches and missing a stumping, but did very well post drinks to get back into this game.

    A phenomenal game of cricket for the neutrals, nerve-shredding for those in either camp, what an end to the womens' season in England and Wales.

    She has done it, Emma Jones makes room and pulls it off the stumps for four, cue pitch invasion.

    Phenomenal finish, Emma Jones the eventual hero!

  5. Blaze need two off the last ball to win, 1 for a super over!!published at 49.5 overs

    Absolutely carnage here.

    A decent ball from Daisy Gibb outside off is missed, Rhianna Southby launches it down the bowlers' way.

    Dot.

    Two needed off 1 ball!

    Blaze 250-7 needing 252 to win

    Maia Bouchier with the fumble now, she cannot pick the ball up.

    Should have been one but they get two.

    Two needed off two balls now.

    Emma Jones on strike.

    Lucy Higham run out (Adams/Gibb) 4 (Blaze 248-7 (target 252) v Hampshire)

    That is almost off the strip it is so wide.

    Lucy Higham panics, hits it, runs to get Emma Jones on strike and runs herself out.

    Daisy Gibb getting away with her legcutter there.

    Grace Ballinger in to just run for Jones now.

    Blaze 248-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Emma Jones takes the single, no individual turn down single heroics from her.

    Lucy Higham with a boundary chance for the winning runs now, four needed off four balls.

    Lots of chats regarding the field, this is so important for all.

    First ball dot.

    Blaze 247-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Daisy Gibb has to bowl this then.

    Both seamers were expensive in the powerplay, only bowled four earlier and are back for just one over spells right at the crunch moment.

    Blaze 247-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Emma Jones does get the reverse right this time, but straight to deep point. Should be a one, but Poppy Tulloch misfields for two!

    Jones does the right thing and takes one last ball as Hampshire did not bring the field up, so she has the strike for the last.

    That could be the match-winning over off Naomi Dattani.

  12. Postpublished at 48.4 overs

    Blaze 244-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Emma Jones tries the full blooded reverse, with the gap there, but it is a dot as she misses it.

    A field change sees her go down the ground for four now though.

    Two boundaries off the over, Hampshire gutted they had no frontline spin left and the gamble back to the way more expensive seam up bowling suits Blaze massively.

  13. Postpublished at 48.2 overs

    Blaze 240-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Naomi Dattani has been Hampshire's worst bowler so far today, the most expensive by some way, but four of her bowlers have bowled out, so her and Daisy Gibb will get the last two with no new bowler to be tried at this crucial juncture.

    But Georgia Adams gives her the massive confidence boost of faith, presenting her with the penultimate over.

    AJ Wellington talks to her at the top of her mark.

    First ball one, second ball a massive four from Emma Jones through fine leg with an aggressive scoop!

  14. Postpublished at 48 overs

    Blaze 235-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Emma Jones gained confidence from that leg stump half volley hit through midwicket, she smears two to deep cow corner then two to deep extra cover where Ella McCaughan fumbles this time, nerves on show everywhere.

    Lucy Higham gets a wide from what should have been the last ball of Poppy Tulloch's spell, but pressure has got to her now too, the number eight keeps the strike with one off the extra ball.

    17 needed off two.

    What a competition, what a game of cricket.

    “They seemed very much as if they were heading towards victory, then Beaumont went in the 40th over and Elwiss in the 43rd.

    "It’s still on for the Blaze but I’d have Hampshire as favourites.”

    Blaze 228-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Lucy Higham cannot believe she is still there batting after that first ball reprieve, but she seems calmer than many of those before her to her credit.

    Guess she knows she should not be there still so has nothing to lose.

    A crucial first boundary for Emma Jones through midwicket makes both batters feel better.

    Poppy Tulloch to full with her straight delivery there.

  17. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 47 overs

    Blaze 222-6 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Should be two in two, how on earth has she dropped that?!

    The world stopped still, it hung in the air for eons, a sitter of a caught and bowled, and maybe the pressure got to Bex Tyson, no excuse though.

    A fifth drop for Hampshire, but they could make 15 wicket-taking chances and win this game still Blaze keep serving them up.

  18. wicket

    Kirstie Gordon c Wellington b Tyson 8 (Blaze 222-6 (target 252) v Hampshire)

    Bex Tyson's 10th.

    Still no boundary for Blaze.

    Kirstie Gordon has to try and manufacture one as the game slips away from them.

    Top edged pull shot, AJ Wellington makes no mistake as she barely has to move.

    What a comeback from Hampshire since drinks, the turning point in both innings in the bowling team's favour.

  19. Postpublished at 46 overs

    Blaze 220-5 (target 252) v Hampshire

    No early departure, early report write up or any of the like here, this is going right down to the wire, the Blaze batters not swinging from the hips yet, running hard, taking it deep.

    Though Kirstie Gordon decides not to run so hard and suffers two consecutive dots. Emma Jones almost running down and back, before being sent back, diving just across the throw and staying in.

    Then they run three singles that probably were not there but get away with two mis-pick-ups and Naomi Dattani missing the stumps with Gordon barely in the frame.

    Bit of panic out there from both sides, big nerves very visible.

  20. Postpublished at 45 overs

    Blaze 215-5 (target 252) v Hampshire

    Home captain Georgia Adams now completes her 10-0-44-0.

    Just hard run singles of different variants in this 45th over.

    I keep wanting to say the home side Hampshire, but technically Blaze are home, they got to kick Hampshire out of their own changing room, such is the oddity of a massive Cup final being hosted at the home of one of the finalists.

    Hampshire needed Wednesday's eliminator v Surrey to get their spot today remember, Blaze had an extra day off and got the home rooms for finishing top of the group.
