I think there are probably a few nerves out there.

Marizanne Kapp is bowling to Lizelle Lee and it goes past the hips of the batter down the leg side. It's a wide ball so won't count as a legitimate ball, with Originals given a run for the extra.

Opening batters: Emma Lamb and Lizelle Lee
Local player Emma Lamb is yet to play for England but she's already hit three Twenty20 hundreds this season, while South Africa's Lizelle Lee is one of the most powerful hitters in the world game.
Woah! That is some fireworks display! London is lit up as the Manchester Originals batters walk onto the field.
Five players to look out for
So which players should you look out for in the women's competition?
Well, Manchester Originals spinner Alex Hartley - who will also be a part of BBC's coverage of the competition - has given us her five players to watch out for.
From a 17-year-old India superstar to a "rapid" young faster bowler, you can find out who they are here.
Oval Invincibles make their way to the field, running through an archway. One of the players is startled by the sound of the fireworks.

Oval Invincibles captain Dane van Niekerk speaking to Sky Sports: "It’s a new tournament, we don’t really know what to expect,
but I think we would have bowled first. I’m still learning to rules, it’s
interesting but incredible to be a part of.
"We’re ready and raring to go. I’m
really excited to see our fast bowlers go together, Shabnim Ismail, Tash
Farrant and Marizanne Kapp."

Thanks for that, Matt.

Manchester Originals captain Kate Cross speaking at the toss: "We had a couple of warm-up games on Friday. I think I’ve
worked out the bowling – you can count the balls on one hand which is easier!
It’s been a long time coming, we’ve been doing a lot of talking about it and we
can’t wait to get out there now.
"It’s great to have a crowd in, we just want to inspire young
girls to pick up a bat or a ball."
