    Blimey! Annabel Sutherland is here for a good time, not a long time. She walks onto a full bacll from Dottin and belts it back over head for a massive six. Sweet and straight as a nut.

  4. Superchargers 53-2published at 42 balls

    What a shot! Beaut of an on-drive from Annabel Sutherland as she strokes Deandra Dottin for four, that is an absolute peach.

    Lauren Filer is one of the quickest bowlers in this tournament and you don't need much bat on it for it to race away.

    Manchester Originals need wickets and that is the only way they are going to win. Deandra Dottin is always a safe pair of hands on the boundary.

    Something to smile about for the Originals.

    A good little knock from Alice Davidson-Richards comes to an end as she pulls to the leg side, deep but straight to a fielder.

  9. Superchargers 42-1published at 35 balls

    Shot! That's terrific from Alice Davidson-Richards who uses her feet well and then clunks a drive through extra cover for a sweet boundary.

    The Superchargers need 53 more.

  10. Superchargers 37-1published at 33 balls

    Melie Kerr is having a bowl. Alice Davidson-Richards tries to clobber it away but can't time the shot.

    It is always good when a batter gets on top of a world-class bowler. There are not many times Sophie Ecclestone is on the back foot but she is here, she is leaking runs.

  12. Superchargers 36-1published at 30 balls

    Phoebe Litchfield plays the deftest of ramp shots to just lob the keeper for four more. The Superchargers are hitting their stride now alright.

  13. Superchargers 32-1published at 28 balls

    Alice Davidson-Richards is in and set, she takes on Sophie Ecclestone and fires past mid-on for four more before tickles a lovely reverse sweep for a few more.

    A run-a-ball in the powerplay but the Superchargers only need 70 off the next 75 to win...

    There is a level of composure when Alice Davidson-Richards strikes the ball. She waits for a long time and then times it perfectly.

    She always looks in control.

  16. Superchargers 25-1published at 25 balls

    More from Mahika Gaur who really is a tricky customer to get away. Alice Davidson-Richards has a good scout around the field before leaning back and carving nicely through the covers for four. Just a classy shot.

    She then times a peach of a straight drive for four more. Fetch that.

    Phoebe Litchfield is advancing down the pitch which Lauren Filer won't have experienced that much with the pace that she bowls at.

    Litchfield gives the impression that she is not scared of anything.

    Lauren Filer is all arms and legs, a whirl of limbs as she skims in to bowl. Keeping Phoebe Litchfield pinned in her crease.

    A good opening to this bowling attack but Alice Davidson-Richards does dig in to a short one and pulls for four.

    Phoebe Litchfield is the new batter with the rapid Lauren Filer taking the ball.
