BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC SoundsA penny for the thoughts of Deandra Dottin. She will be replaying those last few deliveries over and over in her head.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraHow good is cricket? In the space of two balls, it swings back in the way of London Spirit.
Deandra Dottin is usually a great death bowler but she has got the last two very wrong.
Spirit 94-4published at 20 balls left
29 runs needed
Not so great from Deandra Dottin!
Her penultimate delivery is an extremely high no ball that Grace Harris lifts over the keeper's head - it bounces before making the ropes but with the extra two runs for the no ball that makes six.
And Harris then adds a pure six off the bat from the following delivery, another full toss and clonked over fine leg.

Knott b Dottin 9 (Spirit 80-4)

Deandra Dottin accounts for Charli Knott, with the Australian missing the delivery while trying to swipe across the line.
Dottin punches the air, but a smile doesn't pass her lips.
Spirit 80-3published at 25 balls left
43 runs needed
Image source, Getty ImagesA full toss from Kathryn Bryce which Grace Harris pulls out to mid-wicket.
Melie Kerr and Deandra Dottin converge on the ropes but Harris has bisected them perfectly and gets four runs.

England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraEcclestone will suit Harris, as the quicker of the spinners. It gives Harris the freedom to play through her shots and not think about the turn so much.
Spirit 74-3published at 30 balls left
49 runs needed
Two fours from Sophie Ecclestone's set - London Spirit needed to step it up and they may well be doing so.
Grace Harris powers the spinner through the covers before Charli Knott delicately reverse sweeps for a four behind the keeper.
Spirit 64-3published at 35 balls left
59 runs needed
Finally a four for Grace Harris, off her 17th delivery.
She fires Melie Kerr past mid-off and to the ropes. Today's attendance for the women's game is 6,442.

England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraLondon Spirit need a boundary here. You feel like the shift in gear needs to come from Grace Harris soon.
Will we see it in this set?
Spirit 57-3published at 40 balls left
66 runs needed
Charli Knott joins her fellow Australian Grace Harris at the crease, and retains the strike with a single sent square.

England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5LiveYou felt something was going to give for one of the batters. Kira Chathli went searching for that boundary and it was a little bit of a release shot.
Great catch from Melie Kerr.

Chathli c Kerr b Gregory 34 (Spirit 56-3)
Dropped straight into the hands of Melie Kerr!
Kira Chathli's innings comes to an end as she goes to dump Dani Gregory over the long-on boundary.
She doesn't get enough on it and Kerr doesn't have to move for her second catch of the match.

Image source, Getty ImagesThese two batters are playing it nicely and not trying too hard yet.
The more Grace Harris plays, the more pressure falls on the shoulders of the Manchester Originals bowlers. Harris is itching to get one away.
Spirit 53-2published at 45 balls left
70 runs needed
Kathryn Bryce turns the screw a little, conceding a couple from singles her five balls.
Spirit will need to start upping the ante fairly soon.

Callum Flynn
England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5LiveA brilliant shot from the opener Kira Chathli. It was over-pitched by Deandra Dottin and the field was set for hitting it hard.
Spirit 51-2published at 50 balls left
72 runs needed
Banged down the ground!
Deandra Dottin offers up an opening half-volley and Kira Chathli dispatches the ball over the bowler's head for four.
A further single brings up the Spirit 50 and takes Chathli to 32 from 25 deliveries.
Meanwhile Grace Harris is uncharacteristically quiet on seven from nine.
Spirit 45-2published at 55 balls left
78 runs needed
A second set of five deliveries for Melie Kerr, each going for a single.
The New Zealander has figures of 1-6 thus far.
