A full toss from Kate Cross and Deepti Sharma absolutely blasts it!

Ugh, rotten luck for Charlie Dean, who mashes a shot down the ground but it deflects off Deepti Sharma's bat and is only a single.
That would've been two at least or maybe even four otherwise.

Hartley, in damage limitation mode, concedes just a single apiece to Sharma and Dean off her last two balls.

Deepti Sharma is starting to make that impact Ali Mitchell talked about.
Back-to-back boundaries off Alex Hartley.
The first a cracking lofted drive over the infield, before a powerful sweep away square to the fence.
Has that swung it back London Spirit's way?

Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC TwoThat's a great presence of mind for Charlie Dean to be able to do that. She went to play leg side and then had to adapt when the angle changed.

Sophie Ecclestone back on and she limits the damage mostly, except for a cracking four by Charlie Dean, who reverse scoops it round the corner for four.

Commentator on BBC TwoWhen you're the overseas player, you want to play the match-winning roles. Deandra Dottin did it last game and Deepti Sharma will be wanting to make her impact today.

The Originals take a technical timeout, so there's time for you to watch the first of Alex Hartley's three wickets so far...

Hannah Jones' miserly work continues - just five from five and London Spirit are really under the cosh now... although the worm shows they are ahead of Manchester at the same stage.

Hannah Jones backs up Alex Hartley with another tight five balls - just four conceded.
Jones is going to get another set of five as a result.

Gibson lbw Hartley 7 (Spirit 87-5)
Alex Hartley strikes again! What an eventful five balls!
Danielle Gibson shuffles across, misses and is pinned dead in front.
The umpire raises her finger and Gibson trudges off.
Hartley having a blinder here. We'll definitely be hearing plenty about it on commentary later.
