Mary Taylor makes a much needed breakthrough for Hampshire with the aid of a catch by Freya Kemp. Seren Smale gone for 72 (85) to make it 164-2 in the 33rd over, 124 needed from 17.5 overs for the win. Gaby Lewis, the Irishwoman, is 81 not out from 98 balls. Fi Morris in at number four as scheduled (in the circumstances a promotion for Ailsa Lister, the young Scot, might have been appropriate).

Cullen is dropped on the boundary by Kyle Abbott, replays are being checked, and it is confirmed as four and with it a win for Worcestershire. Worcestershire have had a dreadful season with the red ball, but they take the last white ball trophy of the 2025 season.

Currie finishes with wickets with his last two balls to give him 5-34 from six overs. Worcestershire are 175-7 after 26 overs, needing 13 from the last over to reach their DLS adjusted target. Should Hampshire hang on there can be only one candidate for Player of the Match - the guy released from England's tour of Ireland yesterday, Currie.

An interval massively extended by further rain and the DLS recalculations have left Worcestershire to chase 188 from 27 overs, which they have just started.

Hampshire finish their innings with a score of 237-7. There will be a DLS adjustment to Worcestershire's target, but it will not change much.

Khurram Shahzad has hauled things back somewhat late in his spell, but as an international cricketer he will be disappointed with 0-60 from nine overs. Hampshire 230-6 after 44 of their 45 overs.

James Fuller taking "it's time to throw the bat" a little too literally there!
