  1. Originals 98-1published at 40 balls left

    Close! Lizelle Lee lofts one in the air but looks as if it lands just in front of Alice Davidson-Richards. They're the half-chances you really need to go your way when you're up against it, like the Superchargers are.

    The worm shows Manchester Originals Women are 44 runs ahead of Northern Superchargers Women. Manchester Originals Women are 98 for 1 after 60 balls. At the same stage Northern Superchargers Women were 54 for 4.

    Ooh, lovely. Beth Langston bowls on Lizelle Lee's pads and I wouldn't recommend doing that - she flicks it away effortlessly for four.

    Somehow the Superchargers need to make a breakthrough here. They need to keep believing because the Originals batting order has not entirely fired in the competition.

    A lovely start for Kalea Moore who goes for just three from her first set of five.

    Young spinner Kalea Moore starts things off for the Superchargers after their timeout.

    I'd love to know what they say in them. I would probably just get the giggles and use it as a chance to have a snack instead.

    There is an anagram quiz on the BBC Sport website of Hundred players and we have some for the commentary team here today. There is Horny Rename, which I am delighted with.

    Here is that very quiz.

    Completely different start here to the first innings. The Superchargers need some words of wisdom and wickets to put next to this total.

    At the halfway point, the Superchargers take their strategic timeout. Can they drag themselves back into the game? Getting Lizelle Lee out would certainly help them do that.

    HUGE! Absolutely huge. It's been smashed into the stands and Lizelle Lee is enjoying herself now!

    Poor Laura Wolvaardt, her gem of an innings has been overshadowed.

    She has not even given a chance. Faultless. She really does look on form and like she is going to see the Originals home well before the balls are done.

    Originals 79-1

    There it is! And what a way to bring up 50 - smashing a four over all the fielders on the off side.

    What an innings this is - 52 from 27 balls.

  12. Originals 75-1published at 55 balls left

    Just three runs come from Alice Davidson-Richards' five. It's been a quiet few minutes without a boundary from Lizelle Lee - it feels weird.

    What a fantastic photo - presumably taken in happier times for Superchargers!

    These two batters don't need to play any big shots from here, they're cruising it so far. A single completes Liz Russell's set of five.

    It was worth a gamble. It goes to show just how important a wicket Lizelle Lee is.

    Missing leg stump. Liz Russell shrugs and smiles as if to say, well, we had to try something!

    Lauren Winfield-Hill has reviewed an lbw shout on Lee. I'm not sure about this. A review of desperation, perhaps ...

    She is just showing her power. It looked like she just check-drove that and it cleared mid-off by plenty.

    Well, Lizelle Lee certainly wants to get this done quickly, hitting glorious shot down the ground for yet another boundary.

    Might as well just copy and paste 'Four to Lizelle Lee' into each post from here.

    Katie Levick recovers well, though. Can the South Africa duo of Lee and Mignon du Preez steer the Originals to victory?
