  1. Originals 17-0

    This wind is making for some very interesting cricket.

    Emma Lamb launches a ball from Shrubsole high into the air, but it barely goes anywhere. Luckily for Lamb, though, it avoids the fielders.

    Bell is struggling. The wind is blowing her in her action.

  3. Originals 14-0

    Originals need 110 more to win

    The wind causes Bell to bowl a couple of wides.

    Cricket in August is fun, isn't it?

    It's so windy out there, it's hard for the bowlers. You have to stay so strong in your action.

  5. Originals 11-0

    Lauren Bell runs in and is about to let go of the ball when it seems she's pretty much blown away by a big gust of wind.

    Giggles all round.

    It's a great sign for Manchester Originals this. When Lizelle Lee gets going, she's one of the most destructive batters in the world.

  7. Originals 10-0

    Here we go!

    Brave's Lauren Bell has had a brilliant Hundred so far but Lizelle Lee doesn't give her any time to settle, whacking her first ball over mid-off for four.

  8. Originals 5-0

    That'll help!

    Anya Shrubsole bowls short and wide, it's asking to be hit for four really and Emma Lamb helps herself.

  9. Originals 1-0

    Lizelle Lee gets the Originals up and running with a single from the first ball.

    Neither of these openers have fired yet in this competition so they will be itching to make an impact here and get the Originals their first win.

  12. Alex Hartley has had a difficult start to The Hundred, going wicketless before this game.

    But she will be delighted to contribute today and here was the first of her wickets - the prized one of Sophia Dunkley.

  13. Manchester Originals need 124 to win

    There were three wickets each for Hannah Jones and Alex Hartley, whilst Stafanie Taylor and Sophie Dunkley were joint top-scorers for the Brave with 28.

    But without Harmanpreet Kaur's batting, it might not be a straightforward chase for the Originals.

  14. Southern Brave's Sophia Dunkley talking to Sky Sports: "It was ok at the start with the newer ball, but when the spin came on it was a little bit slow so you had to try and get up and down the wicket.

    "I've been going ok in the tournament, but I would like to contribute a bit more and get those match-winning contributions.

    "We'll need to be really clinical in the field. We've got some good spinners who I think will be tricky on this pitch."

    The Originals will be quite pleased with their performance in the last 20 balls.

  16. Brave 123-7

    It's hard to tell who's on top here. Brave got a rapid start and looked well on for a total of 140 plus, but the Originals really fought their way back with a cluster of late wickets.

  17. Brave 122-7

    Kate Cross bowls a very wide slower ball, Stafanie Taylor decides to play it for some reason and hits it whilst pretty much lying on her stomach.

    You can't say The Hundred isn't entertaining.

    WICKET

    Morris lbw b Cross 0 (Brave 118-7)

    What a comeback!!

    That's two of Brave's batters gone trying to reverse sweep first ball. Not sure that tactic is paying off.

  20. Umpire review

    It's all kicking off here!

    Fi Morris goes for a reverse sweep first ball, it's given out lbw on the field but she's reviewed it.
