Mooney 7, Smale 0
Aatif says unlucky. It was Kerr's call. She was running to the danger end. She didn't even get close.
There's a lot on the shoulders on Beth Mooney now and she does get away the first boundary here.

Very poor running. It was in the hand of the fielder when they turned for the second run.
Everything going in the way of London Spirit at the moment.

How unlucky is Melie Kerr? A suicidal second run there.
No need for it.
Kerr run out Gray 1 (Originals 10-2)
A horror show!
Melie Kerr and Beth Mooney go for a crazy second on a free hit. You may not be able to be bowled or caught off one of those but you can certainly be bowled.
Kerr is miles out when the throw comes in.

A really classy looking line-up from the Manchester Originals.
They are top heavy with the class of batting they have. This will be the partnership that the Spirit will have spoken about the most.
Tara Norris even looked shocked her wicketkeeper had taken that catch. New Zealand superstar Melie Kerr is the new batter.

An excellent start for the Spirit so far.
Bryce c Redmayne b Norris 2 (Originals 6-1)
Great catch! Georgia Redmayne, standing up to the stumps, skips to her left to catch Kathryn Bryce down the leg side as she gets a glove on one.

Issy Wong is the opposite to Norris with the shape. She tries to shape it back into the left-handed Beth Mooney.
Kathryn Bryce was trying to open up the off-side with that free hit but good field placements from Issy Wong.
Mooney 2, Bryce 2
The ever-enthusiastic Issy Wong oversteps with her front foot but redeems herself with a sharp bouncer on the free hit.
Scotland batter Kathryn Bryce cannot get it away and pressure is already building on these Manchester openers.

Tara Norris is finding 3.4° of swing in the Powerplay so far this season - comfortably the most of any seamer.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Australian twang of Spirit wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne is particularly loud.
She's impressed by Tara Norris' start with only two runs coming before skipper Charlie Dean turns to Issy Wong.
Tara Norris' first ball is a beauty and beats Aussie great Beth Mooney outside off stump.
It's going to be Tara Norris to begin things with the ball.
We're told Lauren Filer is resting - hence why she is not in Originals team.

London Spirit, as you might expect, are unchanged after their winning start.
There's one change for the Originals with England international Lauren Filer replaced by Esmae MacGregor. That's a blow for the hosts. More as we get it.
London Spirit XI: Georgia Redmayne (wk), Kira Chathli, Cordelia Griffith, Grace Harris, Dani Gibson, Charli Knott, Issy Wong, Charlie Dean (capt), Sarah Glenn, Eva Gray, Tara Norris
Manchester Originals XI: Beth Mooney (capt & wk), Kathryn Bryce, Amelia Kerr, Deandra Dottin, Seren Smale, Alice Monaghan, Sophie Ecclestone, Fi Morris, Esmae MacGregor, Danielle Gregory, Mahika Gaur.
First up is the women's match.
The Spirit have two wins from two as defending champions so far this year and have struck the first blow in winning the toss here.
They are going to have a bowl.
We're almost a week into The Hundred of 2025.
Today it's Originals v Spirit, Manchester v London at Old Trafford.
Nobody mention Oasis and Blur...
