The Southern Vipers are the first team through to Charlotte Edwards Cup Finals Day - and the final - after beating Thunder by six wickets under lights at Emirates Old Trafford, chasing 95 in 15.3 overs.

Vipers have qualified for the Northampton showpiece (June 11) with one Group B game remaining following a superb bowling and fielding display led by former Portsmouth Grammar School pupil and England off-spinner Charlie Dean, who returned 3-16 from four overs to limit their hosts to 94-6 last night.

Thunder included England trio Emma Lamb, Kate Cross and Sophie Ecclestone - the latter pair only just back from IPL Challenge commitments in India.
