Warwickshire Women conclude their Vitality Blast group campaign with a double header against Gloucestershire at Thornbury on Monday (11am and 3pm).

Dominic Ostler's side will be looking to build on their three wins out of four games so far ahead of the Finals Day at Portland Road on May 8. Having won one and lost one in their opener again Wales, the Bears won both games against Somerset, by 49 runs and 26 runs, at Taunton last weekend.

Eve Jones' stunning 93 set up the first win before the second was sealed by seven wickets from leg-spinners Hannah Baker and Anisha Patel.

It was a powerful day's work from Ostler's team and the coach was delighted with not just his team's quality but their resilience.

"The second game was a very different type of win. Batting first, we were 30 for seven but Georgia Davies and Liz Russell dug in and got us to 100. They kept us in the game and then everybody bowled really well, Issy Wong and Georgia setting the tone with the new ball and then Anisha and Hannah taking seven wickets.

"There are always things to work on and improve but there were a lot of good things to take from the two games. Now we want to finish off the group with two more wins on Monday and if we can do that, with our run rate, we should finish top of the group."
