  1. Spirit 47-2

    Hannah Jones settles things down with just conceding four runs off five balls.

  2. Spirit 43-2

    Need 85 runs to win

    Emma Lamb is bowling too straight and Heather Knight isn't missing out.

    The England captain forcefully sweep it away to the fence.

    This pair are really dangerous for the Originals if they stay in too long. The hosts next to break it soon.

  3. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    That's a poor delivery and it got the treatment it deserved.

  4. Spirit 38-2

    Emma Lamb returns and her second delivery is a ropey one down the leg side that Deandra Dottin powerfully helps on its way to the boundary.

  5. Spirit 34-2

    Sophie Ecclestone tightens up and concedes only a wide and a single from the rest of her second set of five balls.

  7. Spirit 32-1

    Gorgeous drive from Heather Knight, going with the spin off Sophie Ecclestone to split the field and find the fence for four.

  8. Not that Deandra Dottin needs any power-hitting tips but she can perhaps take inspiration from Sophie Eccclestone's exciting cameo earlier...

  9. Deandra Dottin has scored a 38-ball hundred in T20 cricket. She's such a powerful batter and multi-talented too - she recently spoke about her dreams of competing in the Olympics.

  10. Spirit 28-2

    Need 100 runs to win

    Deandra Dottin taps a single to get off the mark before Heather Knight deftly lofts a drive over the covers for a couple.

    Knight unfurls a reverse sweep but misses but grabs a single off the last of Hartley's five deliveries.

    The worm shows London Spirit Women are four runs behind Manchester Originals Women. London Spirit Women are 28 for 2 after 30 balls. At the same stage Manchester Originals Women were 32 for 1

  11. New batter: Deandra Dottin

    Didn't Alex Hartley take two wickets from the last two balls of the last game? She will definitely be claiming that as a hat-trick.

    WICKET

    Dattani c&b Hartley 11 (Spirit 24-2)

    Slow left-armer Alex Hartley strikes straight away!

    A largely ponderous innings from Naomi Dattani comes to a tame end as she simply chips a return catch straight to Hartley.

    I think we may hear plenty about that one from Hartley on commentary later.

  14. Alison Mitchell
    Commentator on BBC Two

    Naomi Dattani is starting to go for it but is it too little too late?

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    They're some of the hardest catches to take, those ones where you're running back and it's coming over your shoulder.

  16. Spirit 24-1

    Taret 128

    Naomi Dattani miscues a top edge that lands over the shoulder of a retreating Hannah Jones. Could she have got there?

    Heather Knight ends the powerplay with a defensive block for no run.

    Some welcome boundaries from the Spirit recently but only 24 runs from the 25-ball powerplay.

  17. Spirit 22-1

    Need 106 runs

    Naomi Dattani finally frees her arms!

    And it's a mighty blow back over Kates Cross' head for four.

  18. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Why is Deandra Dottin down to bat at four with her ability to strike the ball?

  19. Spirit 16-1

    Yet more spin for the Originals as Emma Lamb enters the fray.

    Chance! Argh. Naomi Dattani loops an edge but keeper Ellie Threlkeld can't get to it in time. Probably should've done better.

    Dattani is still on the go slow, finally picking up a single.

    But Heather Knight knows what's required - a sweep round the corner for four followed by a lofted punch down the ground for another.

  20. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Dattani is putting too much pressure on her side here.
