A look back at the men's (Hampshire v Worcestershire yesterday) and women's (Hampshire v Lancashire today) One Day Cup finals and a photo gallery.

Lister levels the scores with a boundary off the first ball of the 49th over. Dot off the next one. The third ball of the over sees them go for the winning single, Bouchier's throw hits, but Lancashire are already celebrating. They have won by six wickets with nine balls to spare. Gaby Lewis finishes with 141 not out from 143 balls, with 16 fours.

Game all but done now. Lancashire 284-4 after 48 overs, need just five more with two overs to go. Lewis 141 not out (143 balls).

Gaby Lewis may just have settled this. She has started the 48th over 2,4,4 to reduce the ask to 11 off 15 balls.

Fourth Lancashire wicket gone, Threlkeld dismissed by a combination of two Freyas - Kemp taking the catch off Davies to makes it 243-4. Threlkeld 32 (30). 45 needed off 6.1 overs with Lister joining Lewis. Next in if one of the two Ls goes is Kate Cross.

100 up for Gaby Lewis off the 121st ball of her innings. Lancashire are 217-3, needing 72 off the last 9.2 overs to win.

Ten overs left and Lancashire need 77 to win with seven wickets standing.

Kevan James on comms noting that singles don't hurt Hampshire with Lancashire needing over seven an over, and that a lot of Hampshire's close in fielders are stationing themselves right at the edge of the circle to make sure nothing more than singles can be scored with any ease.

Fi Morris run out by a direct hit throw (Lancashire have already suffered one such dismissal and had a couple of narrow escapes along the way) from Naomi Dattani in the deep to make it 183-3, Morris 9 (9). Ellie Threlkeld, Lancashire keeper and skipper, is the new batter.

Lancashire's order is not the deepest ever seen - Kate Cross is scheduled to come in at number seven, which looks at least one place too high for a bowler who is a useful lower order batter.

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).

@_hypocaust Lancashire a little behind the rate, but with nine wickets in hand well placed overall.

20 overs to go in the Women's One Day Cup final, Lancashire are 157-1, needing 132 more to win, so they need to increase their scoring rate a bit, but with only one wicket down they have plenty of scope to do so. Very close game.

Malahide has been visited once again by its all to frequent companion, rain. Hampshire are going well in the women's One Day Cup final at the Utilita Bowl. They have scored 288 from their own 50 overs, and Lancashire are 99-1 in the 22nd over in reply, some way behind the required rate.
