Henry Moeran
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat is Hartley's first wicket in the tournament! She roars in delight. Just for a moment it looked as though it might evade the fielder, but you can see the relief from here.
WICKETpublished at Ball 72
Dunkley c Jones b Hartley 28 (Brave 92-3)
That'll ease the frustration!
Dunkley goes for a sweep, gets a top edge that loops up and Hannah Jones takes the catch just above her head. She had played the spin so well, you sense she will be very frustrated by that.
But Alex Hartley is buzzing!
Brave 91-2published at Ball 71
This could be the moment she starts to go for it - Stafanie Taylor thumps Alex Hartley for another four.
Hartley lets out a grunt of frustration.
Brave 87-2published at Ball 70
It's not been as explosive from the Brave since Wyatt got out - the Originals have kept them in check.
But they'll want one of these two out pretty soon, because if they're both in with 15 balls left it could be carnage.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraStafanie Taylor has yet to be dismissed in this tournament.
Brave 82-2published at Ball 65
Kate Cross calls her team in for their strategical timeout. Probably to come up with a plan of how to get rid of Stafanie Taylor.
Brave 82-2published at Ball 65
Smriti Mandhana helped get the Brave off to an absolutely rapid start before she was dismissed.
Kate Cross would love another one of these right now.
Brave 77-2published at Ball 60
Another good set of five from Hannah Jones but Brave just keep the score ticking along.
Meanwhile we have some news to bring you from the men's competition. Welsh Fire's Jake Ball has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament with an injury and has been replaced in the squad by Luke Fletcher.
Welsh Fire play the Trent Rockets tomorrow.

Another ball, another glorious Dunkley boundary - this time perfectly threated past cover.
Brave 65-2published at Ball 50
Sophia Dunkley drills a four straight back past Alex Hartley and she's picked up where Danni Wyatt left off.
Halfway through the innings and Brave look set for a big total here.

When you look at Brave's batting line-up, you can see why they haven't lost yet. Stafanie Taylor is one of the most experienced players in the world and Sophia Dunkley one of the most exciting new talents.
The Originals would love one more wicket here.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraWhat a dismissal! It was a filthy full toss and Danni Wyatt could have put it anywhere in Manchester.
WICKETpublished at Ball 42
Wyatt c Boyce b Jones 24 (Brave 56-2)
Danni Wyatt will be fuming with herself.
It's a full toss from Hannah Jones, it's asking to be hit into the stands but Wyatt plonks it straight to the fielder instead.
Jones won't mind though - she's now got the wickets of both openers.

Wyatt and Dunkley are taking a lot of singles. It looks effortless for them out there at the moment.
Dunkley dropped on 7published at Ball 36
Brave 52-1
I mean, it's probably not a drop. It's me being extremely harsh on Natalie Brown who gets thumped on the wrist as Dunkley nails one straight back at her.
She's done well to save the runs as opposed to dropping the catch.
