  1. Originals 65-1

    Originals need 59 to win

    Halfway through this chase and you'd say Manchester Originals are on top. But as we saw when they bowled, a few quick wickets can change things pretty quickly.

    It's always tough diving forward but Sophia Dunkley, with the standards she sets herself, would expect to have caught that.

  3. Du Preez dropped on 1

    Originals 59-1

    Ah, it was a tough chance for Sophia Dunkley out on the boundary. She was diving forward, it was low to the ground and just bounced out of her fingers as she landed.

    The wind probably made that hard to judge, too.

  4. Originals 56-1

    Originals need 68 runs to win

    There's a lot of responsibility on Lizelle Lee's shoulders here but she doesn't seem bothered by it as she helps herself to another four.

  5. New batter: Mignon du Preez

    What a throw that was from Anya Shrubsole!

  7. WICKET

    Lamb run out Shrubsole 32 (Originals 52-1)

    It was always going to happen.

    There were about three run out chances in the last five balls but it looked as if Lizelle Lee was going to be the victim from those - this time, Shrubsole hits and it's Emma Lamb who has to go.

  8. Umpire review

    There is so much going on! I can't keep up. Emma Lamb hits a four and now we have a run out review. It looks close.

  9. Originals 48-0

    Emma Lamb is wants to finish this pretty quickly, it seems. Lizelle Lee is almost run out again but the throw at the stumps is a bit wayward.

  10. Originals 45-0

    Charlotte Taylor gets her first ball and she seems to take wickets every time she bowls.

    She almost brings a run out straight away here after some confusion between Lamb and Lee, but they somehow survive as Taylor can't take the ball cleanly.

    The rain is coming at 5.40pm, I'm told.

  12. Originals 42-0

    Amanda-Jade Wellington gets through a good set of five. The Australian leg-spinner has been the Brave's best bowler in the tournament so far so they'll want another good performance from her today.

    It looks a little grey out there.

    Originals are going well, and it's good to see. When you're struggling and without a win, it's easy to feel frustrated but Originals are throwing a few punches back now.

  14. Originals 39-0

    Originals need 85 more runs to win

    End of the powerplay and it's been a good one for the Originals. Can they make the most of their positive start?

  15. Originals 39-0

    Another four to Lamb, as she whacks Anya Shrubsole over her head with some aggression.

    This is now Originals' highest powerplay score of the tournament so far.

  16. Post update

    The fast start that Danni Wyatt and Smriti Mandhana gave Southern Brave meant that Manchester Originals were nine runs down after 15 balls.

    The Originals did fight back well with the ball, though.

    Excellent from Emma Lamb. She's pre-empting what Lauren Bell is trying to do.

  18. Originals 30-0

    Emma Lamb!! That is glorious.

    She carves a four through cover before getting down on one knee and ramping the ball over the wicketkeeper's head for another.

  19. Originals 21-0

    Anya Shrubsole spoke before the game about wanting to bowl less wides than their previous game, when they bowled 25 of them.

    Lauren Bell is struggling here, adding another two to her tally but it doesn't look easy to control it in these conditions.

    Anya Shrubsole has changed ends and is bowling with the wind, which is a lot easier! But you still need to stay strong because the wind can rush you and you get through your action too quickly.
