    Ex-England batter on BBC Two

    For me, Danielle Gibson has been a real standout player of this competition.

  2. 6 runs

    Spirit 87-4

    Target 128

    Danielle Gibson smashes only her third ball for six down the ground off Alex Hartley. What a blow!

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    That's a very soft dismissal and Heather Knight knows it. She punches her bat in frustration.

  4. New batter: Deepti Sharma

    WICKET

    Spirit c&b Hartley 35 (Spirit 78-4)

    Is that the game done?

    Almost the exactly same way Naomi Dattani fell - this time Heather Knight tamely chipping a return catch to Alex Hartley.

    Hartley lost England contract in 2019. And here she is removing the England captain.

    Worth a cheeky text? Or just leave it? Hartley is delighted with that scalp.

  6. New batter: Danielle Gibson

  7. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    The power was there from Dottin but not the elevation - she didn't get enough of it to hit over the fielder.

  8. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    The partnership had just passed 50, so that is a really important moment for the Manchester Originals.

    WICKET

    Dottin c Brown b Cross 28 (Spirit 77-3)

    Massive strike from the Originals!

    It's not Kate Cross' best ball - a half-volley there to be hit but Deandra Dottin can't get enough elevation on her shot and just picks out Natalie Brown instead.

  10. Spirit 76-2

    Heather Knight clatters England team-mate Kate Cross down the ground for four.

  11. Spirit 72-2

    Target 128

    Deandra Dottin can power it down the ground, but she can also sweep it with force too.

    Two boundaries in a row for Dottin - the first past fine leg and the second through mid-wicket.

    Sophie Ecclestone uncharacteristically concedes 12 from those five balls.

  12. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    She can play the dinky shots too, as well as powering it down the ground. It's really smart batting from Dottin.

  13. Spirit 60-2

    Natalie Brown enters the attack and bowls a very welcome set of five balls that only result in five runs to the total.

    Deandra Dottin has spoken to BBC Sport about her Olympic dreams.

    What do you reckon? Would cricket be a good addition to the Olympics? And if yes or no, why?

  16. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Two

    We've got cricket in the Commonwealth Games next year, and there's talk of it being in the Olympics in eight years' time, I think. That would be very exciting.

  17. Spirit 55-2

    Target 128

    Dottin scurries a couple off Hartley to finish.

  18. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Two

    This is why Dottin is such a dangerous player. It doesn't always come off, but when it does, the ball goes very far!

  19. 6 runs

    Spirit 53-2

    Alex Hartley flights one a bit too wide of off, allowing Deandra Dottin to free her arms and batter a mighty six down the ground.

  20. You hope when you're wearing a helmet cam, it'll provide footage of mighty sixes, not first-ball ducks...
