    WICKET

    Ecclestone st Bryce b Farrant 10 (Originals 133-6)

    Farrant sees Ecclestone advancing down the pitch so bowls it wide of the batter and wicketkeeper Bryce takes off the bails. Clever bowling.

    That's a great strike Sophie Ecclestone!

  3. 6 runs

    Originals 133-5

    And now it's six for Sophie Ecclestone, she launched that just as good as her captain!

    Such important big hits and late runs for Originals.

  4. Originals 127-5

    Good bowling by Tash Farrant, limiting Cross to a single. Can Ecclestone find a big shot?

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    I like the intent from Kate Cross. No wonder she's got a smile on her face!

  6. 6 runs

    Originals 126-5

    Oh my! The first six of the innings (and The Hundred) as Kate Cross takes a few steps down the wicket and launches the ball over the boundary rope. It's a huge hit and just what her side needed.

  7. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC One

    Kate Cross, the captain, is straight into the action. She hit that with real power.

  8. Originals 118-5

    The Originals skipper is off the mark in style by powerfully driving Gregory back down the ground for four runs.

  9. New batter: Kate Cross

    The biggest cheer of the day so far was for the little girl in the stands who belted out See You Again by Wiz Khalifa during the strategic time out.

    Even the players were applauding. She’s a lot braver than me!

    Marizanne Kapp has bowled brilliantly. She has shown her class.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Du Preez c Villiers b Kapp 10 (Originals 113-5)

    Marizanne Kapp takes her second wicket of the match and Originals are stuttering a bit here. Mignon Du Preez pulls the ball, it goes high but not far and it's a decent catch from Mady Villiers.

  14. Oval Invincibles are taking a strategic timeout to gather their thoughts and think about how to bowl these last 15 balls.

  15. New batter: Sophie Ecclestone

    She's the world's best Twenty20 bowler but she can give it a whack with the bat too!

    That's huge for the Invincibles, Harmanpreet Kaur was looking in sparkling form.

    WICKET

    Kaur 29 c Gregory b Farrant 29 (Originals 108-4)

    Tash Farrant strikes again! Harmanpreet Kaur looks to paddle the ball over the fielder but it goes straight into the hands of Dani Gregory at short fine leg. A simple catch.

    It's the wicket Invincibles were after.

  18. Originals 107-3

    It's pitched up from Farrant, Du Preez frees her arms and drives the ball back past the bowler for four. It was in the air for a while but a controlled shot.

  19. 100 runs

    Originals 103-3

    We have the first team to score a hundred in The Hundred as Kaur delicately guides the ball towards third for a boundary. Originals will be relying a lot on her now.

  20. Originals 98-3

    Spin has served Invincibles well as Dani Gregory turns her arm for the first time in this match.

    And the leg-spinner is off to a superb start, with three dot balls. Why didn't she come on sooner?
