Monaghan c Perry b Arlott 4 (Originals 14-3)
Image source, Getty ImagesAnother one gone!
Having failed to score off the last three balls of Phoebe Brett's set, Alice Monaghan faces three dot balls from Em Arlott and then gets out from the next delivery.
She tries to pull but skews a top edge to Ellyse Perry at mid-off, while her bat goes flying over her shoulder.

There have been 12 maiden first sets in the history of the Women’s Hundred - five of them have come this season, including two in this game.

I like what I have seen from Phoebe Brett so far. She has a lovely action, just needs to finish it off a little bit better.
She probably has about 10 years before she is in her prime.
98 runs needed
19-year-old left-arm spinner Phoebe Brett into the attack, playing in her second Hundred match - she didn't bat or bowl in her first.
Melie Kerr cracks her first ball through the covers before taking a single, but Brett finishes with three dot balls to Alice Monaghan.
103 runs needed
Alice Monaghan comes out at four, promoted up the order.
She drives Schutt's last delivery through the covers for four.

The Phoenix have started so well and that wicket is crucial. The Manchester Originals are in serious trouble now.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe skipper departs!
Both openers depart for ducks, as Beth Mooney mistimes her shot off Megan Schutt for Marie Kelly to take on the run at mid-off.
Dare I say it - game in the balance?

Image source, Getty ImagesA fraction too short from Megan Schutt and Melie Kerr was onto it in a flash. She is so good on the pull shot. The ball is swinging nicely into the right-hander.
On the board.
Melie Kerr dispatches Megan Schutt's sixth delivery through mid-wicket for tour.
112 runs needed
Melie Kerr comes in at number three and can't score off Megan Schutt's next two deliveries.
The Australian seamer is going to take another five balls.

That was strange running - I'm not sure who called who through, but that's a ridiculous run and there was no need for it whatsoever. It's like primary school running between the wickets.
Bryce run out (Lamb/Jones) 0 (Originals 0-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesWell, that was odd.
Beth Mooney dabs Megan Schutt's third ball just to the right of point and hares off down the wicket.
Emma Lamb collects and throws in a tad loopily, but Amy Jones still has plenty of time to run Kathryn Bryce out - she wasn't even close.
Originals, like Phoenix, lose a wicket before they score a run.
Will Originals live to regret a few half-chances?
Probably not, but taking Beth Mooney dropping Sterre Kalis for 13 proved somewhat costly, while there were other reasonable stumping and catching opportunities out there.
Perhaps some slightly strange decision making with the bowlers too?
Mahika Gaur didn't bowl again after taking 1-5 off 15 balls inside the powerplay, Lauren Filer (0-17 off 15) and Deandra Dottin (1-4 off 10) had sets left in their locker while Kathryn Bryce and Melie Kerr went wicketless for 59 runs between them off their 40 deliveries.
Anyway, here come the Birmingham Phoenix side to huddle up on the outfield, followed by Originals openers Beth Mooney and Kathryn Bryce.
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester Originals bowler Mahika Gaur speaking on Sky Sports: "If you had told us at the start that we would restrict them to that total, we would have taken it. Hopefully our batters can get the job done now.
"I enjoyed it out there. There was good swing up top which worked to my favour. I tried to hit the front pad and I had a lot of fun playing out there."
On bowling 10 balls together: "By the end of the first five I feel in good rhythm so it always helps to get five after that and carry on my line.
"Hopefully our batters can get the job done and we can make it through to the eliminator."
While we wait to see how Originals will get on in their run-chase, let's reflect on the early game in the women's competition, which saw Trent Rockets beat Welsh Fire. The Rockets were indebted to their Aussie spinners Alana King and Ash Gardner, who shared five wickets between them.
Rockets' King and Gardner dominate in 23-run victory against Fire
From 99-2 after 75 balls, Welsh Fire propelled themselves to a competitive total of 150-6.
Stephen Eskinazi (53 off 42) and Tom Abell (48 off 29) did the bulk of the scoring, putting on 97 (54) for the third wicket, while Chris Green smashed a handy 11 (4) at the death.
With the ball, Sam Cook took 2-17, with David Willey, Lockie Ferguson, and Marcus Stoinis the other wicket-takers.
Trent Rockets are chasing 151 knowing victory in Cardiff will secure a spot in the knockout stages.

This is Ellyse Perry’s fifth fifty in the Hundred — also her slowest, coming off 46 balls.
Ellyse Perry can't score with a pull off the following delivery, but hustles through a swift two down the ground.
Originals will chase 112.
Perry finishes with 55, Kalis on 43 from 39 balls with their unbroken partnership worth 94 off 73 deliveries.
Meanwhile Kathryn Bryce closes on figures of 0-30 from her 20 balls.
Callum Flynn
England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Sophie Ecclestone was tip-toeing that boundary and leapt up in the air but she could not stop a six from Ellyse Perry.
A good knock from Perry. She started slow but she has the class to catch up. She has given her team something to bowl at along with Sterre Kalis.
Phoenix 109-3
That's the way to bring up your half-century!
Ellyse Perry smacks Kathryn Bryce for six over mid-wicket, bringing up her half-century off 46 balls.
