    Thanks Matthew.

    We're almost ready to get going again, Manchester Originals have run out through some small fireworks, and gather in a huddle on the outfield.

    Spirit openers Georgia Redmayne and Kira Chathli emerge behind them.

    Sarah Glenn sounds confident. Can the Spirit make it three wins from three?

    Mike Peter will take you through their chase...

  3. 'We will go at it hard'published at 16:15 British Summer Time

    London Spirit spinner Sarah Glenn speaking on Sky Sports: "It was very important to get those early wickets when Beth Mooney got going and to slow down Dottin at the end."

    On the team plan: "It was to keep things simple. We are at our best when we are clear on our roles. We executed really well today."

    On the surface: "It was skidding on nicely and then it offered turn and hold as the time went on. We mixed it up nicely in the middle so hopefully the girls can finish it off.

    "We gave so much energy in the field and we backed our bowlers. It will not be a simple chase even though it is a low total. We will go at it hard and stick to our strengths."

    London Spirit are still comfortable favourites for me.

    This looked a good pitch and they have Grace Harris...

    The last ball of the innings is always a free hit. Originals have taken some nice momentum into the field now.

    They will feel a little bit more confident with the score over 120.

    Dottin c Gibson b Dean 36 (Originals 122-6)

    Out going for a six off the final ball! Deandra Dottin is caught at deep mid-wicket.

    London Spirit will need 123 to win.

  7. Originals 122-5published at Ball 99

    Can Deandra Dottin clear the ropes to finish?

  8. Originals 121-5published at Ball 98

    Dot ball.

    Good from Monaghan. She is trying to find the leg-side boundary. Originals are taking a bit of momentum into the break here with some nice fours.

  10. Originals 120-5published at Ball 97

    It's a good comeback from Charlie Dean, keeping the scoring to singles.

  11. Originals 118-5published at Ball 96

    They all count!

    An under edge from Alice Monaghan brings her four.

    You can hear Deandra Dottin groaning on the stump mic as she fails to get away an Issy Wong full toss at the end of the set. Wong finishes with 0-24 from her 20 balls. Not her best.

    If you are a Manchester Originals fan, you want Deandra Dottin to deal in equals here and face as many of these balls as possible.

    Drilled for four by Deandra Dottin!

    This is another that nearly took out the umpire.

  15. Originals 109-5published at Ball 92

    Quicker and straighter.

    Dottin still scampers two.

  16. Originals 107-5published at Ball 91

    This helps.

    A slower ball from Issy Wong comes out as a loopy full toss. Dottin sweeps it for four.

    Good bowling from Grace Harris. She is bowling slower and wider because she knows Deandra Dottin will be targeting the boundary.

    The balls do run away on this outfield at Old Trafford.

    Dottin 24, Monaghan 13

    10 balls to go.

    125?

    A four to Deandra Dottin - only her second in 22 balls - helps the Originals to their hundred.

    They need more.

    Manchester Originals need to try and get 35 runs or so off these last deliveries.

    Issy Wong is taking an interesting approach, around the wicket to Deandra Dottin. Everyone is out leg-side.
