    Southern Brave have just stuttered at the end of the innings.

    WICKETpublished at Ball 95

    Shrubsole b Jones 1 (Brave 118-6)

    Ah, maybe not.

    Shrubsole takes a huge swipe at Hannah Jones, is absolutely nowhere near it and is bowled.

  4. Brave 118-5published at Ball 94

    Anya Shrubsole can certainly whack it. Can she get the Brave up to 130 here?

    You can see what it means to Hartley after she had a barren run of it.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at Ball 90

    Wellington lbw b Hartley 0 (Brave 113-5)

    In the words of DJ Khaled, another one.

    Wellington bravely brings out the reverse sweep first ball but it's full and straight from Hartley and the umpire gives it out straight away.

    A great spell of bowling to bring the Originals right back in the game.

    That was nicely bowled by Hartley. It just stuck in the pitch a bit.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at Ball 89

    Bouchier c Cross b Hartley 12 (Brave 113-4)

    Alex Hartley has another wicket!!!

    It's good bowling as she could see Bouchier trying to hit over the top, it looked to be a bit slower and the batter chips it up in the air for Kate Cross to take the catch.

    The Originals have fought back strongly after Brave's quick start.

  12. Brave 106-3published at Ball 85

    Maia Bouchier joins the party! She channels her inner Danni Wyatt and hits a four in the air and over the off side.

    They'll be after a big total here.

    Manchester Originals have given 10 runs away in the field with little lapses of concentraion.

  14. Brave 104-3published at Ball 82

    Ah. A misfield on the boundary allows the batters to run another two.

    You can't gift Stafanie Taylor runs!

  15. Brave 101-3published at Ball 80

    Some very good running between Taylor and Bouchier as they scamper a couple of twos that probably should only have been one each.

    Combine that with the lbw decision and Sophie Ecclestone does not look best pleased.

  16. Not outpublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Brave 94-3

    It's deemed Too Close To Call and stays not out!

    That was an appeal of utter conviction. A proper celebrappeal from Ecclestone.

  18. Umpire reviewpublished at Ball 76

    Sophie Ecclestone has gone for an lbw review on Maia Bouchier. It's given not out on the field, and she hasn't hit it ...

  19. Brave 94-3published at Ball 75

    Aaaand it's raining. They're staying out there for now, though.
