'Ridiculous bit of cricket' - Sciver-Brunt dismissed by Ecclestone

  1. 50 runs

    50 for Kathryn Brycepublished at 30 balls left

    Originals 97-0

    A fine 36-ball half-century from Kathryn Bryce, who is leading Manchester Originals to a comprehensive win.

    She comfortably wins the battle of the Scottish players today, helping herself to two boundaries off Kirstie Gordon.

    The visiting side need just 15 to win now.

    In order to take a wicket, Trent Rockets need to bring fielders in.

    Make Manchester Originals play somewhere which they don't want to.

    It is too easy at the moment.

    A great shot from Kathryn Bryce.

    She was waiting for a ball that was in her slot.

  4. 6 runs

    Target 112

    Well, I'm not sure where that wicket is coming from.

    Kathryn Bryce launches Ash Gardner down the ground for a sumptuous six, followed by a thump for four.

    They're flying towards this target.

    Trent Rockets are desperate. They don't want to lose by 10 wickets...

    The Rockets cannot find a way to stifle this run rate.

    This pair have been good in scoring in different parts of the ground in this innings.

    While 78% of Beth Mooney's runs have come in front of the square, Kathryn Bryce has scored 61% of her runs behind square.

    Target 112

    Cassidy McCarthy responds with a decent five balls, conceding just five singles, but Originals are under no pressure. Everything is very chilled out there.

    Manchester Originals

    Manchester Originals' Lauren Filer, speaking to BBC Two: "I felt recently I have not felt my best. It is about getting them [batters] to play off the stumps and trying to get them to play shots that they don't want to play.

    "I have had time off from bowling since the India series, and I need to tidy up my action.

    "I feel like I forced it in the last couple of weeks. I need to tidy it up and get close to that 80mph ball!"

    A very good partnership between Beth Mooney and Kathryn Bryce.

    They are in total control of the game. It should be a walk in the park with the platform they have set.

  10. 6 runs

    Originals 69-0published at 45 balls

    Target 112

    Oh no!

    Beth Mooney gets the first six of the day, lofted down the ground off Alana King, but it could've been a chance.

    Cassidy McCarthy was off the rope on the boundary so she can only watch the ball sail over her head.

  11. Originals 59-0published at 50 balls left

    Halfway there and it's been all Manchester Originals.

    There's still plenty of batting to come with the likes of Melie Kerr and Deandra Dottin, too.

    A lovely shot from Kathryn Bryce through backward point for four.

    At this point, it is looking a bit too easy for Manchester Originals.

    These two are making batting look very easy.

    A fraction wide from Heather Graham, and Kathryn Bryce plays a glorious late cut for four.

    Rockets were 57-2 at the same stage which shows just how badly they fell away at the end of their innings.

    Beth Mooney now has 6,100 runs in the major women's T20 leagues around the world (The Hundred, Women's Big Bash and the Women's Premier League).

    No other batter has scored more; she went past Ellyse Perry's tally of 6,082 runs in this innings.

  15. Originals 45-0published at 60 balls left

    Target 112

    It does feel like Rockets have left it too late to bring King into the attack.

    Originals already have a decent opening partnership so Mooney and Bryce know they don't need to take any risks against her.

    Surprising to see Alana King being held back for so long. She has dismissed Beth Mooney three times in eight innings in T20s/Hundred for just 35 runs off 33 balls.

    You don't want Alana King to search for that turn and those wickets because Trent Rockets are behind.

    She needs to take a breath at the top of her mark, and play her natural game.

    Finally! Here is Alana King.

  19. Originals 40-0published at 65 balls left

    Target 112

    Lovely!

    Kathryn Bryce shuffles across her stumps and sweeps Ash Gardner for four, before bringing out the reverse and helping herself to a couple more.

    The runs keep flowing for the Originals.

    'Fantastic work' - Sciver-Brunt is stumped by Mooney

    Another tidy five balls from Heather Graham, one of three Australians in the Rockets' line-up.

    But curiously, still no sign of Alana King. With the turn Sophie Ecclestone got earlier, you'd think she would be in the game by now.
