    Visiting player or not, the crowd got behind Kate Cross for her hat-trick ball there. Not to be.

    Gibbs b Cross 0 (Invincibles 7-2)

    Another! First ball!

    Kate Cross is on a hat-trick as Grace Gibbs completely misses a straight one and is bowled. An even better start for the Originals!

    Capsey c Threlkeld b Cross 4 (Invincibles 7-1)

    Incredible confidence from the youngster, going for a ramp shot to try and hit Kate Cross over the wicket-keeper. She mis-times it unfortunately and edges it behind to Ellie Threlkeld.

    A good start for the Originals.

  7. Invincibles 5-0published at 97 balls left

    What a start from 16-year-old Alice Capsey - the tournament's youngest player - as she smashes her first ball for four straight past bowler Hartley.

  8. Invincibles 0-0published at 98 balls left

    Now then - Alex Hartley opens the bowling for Manchester Originals and has a big shout for lbw against Georgia Adams second ball.

    It's given not out.

    Lizelle Lee's run map shows how destructive she was through the leg side. The South African opening batter got the Manchester Originals off to a great start and Oval Invincibles will need something similar from one or two of their batters.

    The run map shows Lizelle Lee scored 37 with 6 fours, 2 two, and 9 singles for Manchester Originals Women

    Becky Hill looks like she has come in a Birmingham Phoenix kit from a distance.

    Thanks, Kal! Becky Hill has just finished her performance and you could see some Manchester Originals players busting out some (questionable) dance moves in front of the stage.

    As singer Becky Hill entertains the crowd at The Oval and all of us watching or listening at home, I will hand over to Ffion Wynne who will see you through the rest of this historic game.

    I think it may be a slightly below par score, Tash Farrant was brilliant in the middle overs pegging the Originals back a bit.

    A decent score, I reckon.

  18. Originals 135-6published at Ball 100

    Cordelia Griffiths is the new batter in. She has the freedom to really go for it, with just the one ball to face. She looks to unleash a big shot but can only chip it up for two runs.

    So there we have it, Oval Invincibles need 136 runs from 100 balls to win this match.

    That's class bowling from Tash Farrant. She knew Ecclestone would try another big shot, so she's bowled it wider to make it harder to reach.
