    I thought the confidence the Superchargers got from the end of their innings would come into the start of this but they have bowled poorly. It gave Lizelle Lee the chance to just take off.

    And that's not what the Superchargers need. Katie Levick bowls a wide that beats the keeper and runs away for four - so that's another five runs given away.

    Well, the wicket hasn't bothered Lizelle Lee in the slightest. She hits Linsey Smith for another four and is making batting look very easy.

    A timely breakthrough there. The Superchargers will be hoping they can squeeze the new batter now and put pressure on Lizelle Lee. They will know how quickly it changed in their innings and will want to put pressure on and make that happen.

    Lamb c Wolvaardt b Smith 10 (Originals 50-1)

    First one gone for the Originals.

    When Emma Lamb hit this I thought it was flying away for six - she absolutely nailed it. But it ended up going straight to Laura Wolvaardt on the boundary, who takes a comfortable catch.

    This is destructive batting from Lizelle Lee. This could be one of the most destructive powerplays we have seen in The Hundred.

    Manchester Originals, who are out of the competition, have just hit the highest powerplay score of the women's Hundred.

    Emma Lamb's barely had anything to do, and that'll be a rare feeling for her.

    There is absolutely no pressure on her when Lizelle Lee is on 36 from 17 balls at the other end.

    And as I say that, Lamb carves away four of her own past the cover fielder.

    While we admire Lizelle Lee's batting, there was also plenty to admire from Ellie Threlkeld's wicketkeeping earlier. So skilful.

    I'm afraid the Northern Superchargers have been straying way too much down the leg side and Lizelle Lee is not shy of sweeping.

    It's fair to say that Lizelle Lee can absolutely whack it and it's hard to keep up with her at the moment.

    Leg-spinner Katie Levick is greeted with three more fours from Lee's bat. She's scoring all around the wicket at the moment and Superchargers have no answer.

    Davidson-Richards finishes off with two dot balls to just settle things a little bit after that chaotic start.

    The worm shows Manchester Originals Women are 18 runs ahead of Northern Superchargers Women. Manchester Originals Women are 34 for 0 after 15 balls. At the same stage Northern Superchargers Women were 16 for 2.

    Four more! Emma Lamb joins the party by smashing Alice Davidson-Richards' first ball to the boundary. Not great bowling, it has to be said.

    Lizelle Lee looked extremely relaxed before going out to bat.

    'I'm going to tee off, Mr Photographer, don't miss it, right!'

    This is a great start by the Originals. Lizelle Lee will be out to prove a point because this tournament hasn't gone the way she would have liked.

    Ah. Another two fours follow - one smashed down the leg side and another deftly touched past the wicketkeeper.

    A difficult start for Beth Langston, but a great one for Lizelle Lee - she has crashed her way to 20 from just nine balls.

  18. Originals 17-0published at 93 balls left

    Oh, Bess Heath!! What a stunning effort. Lizelle Lee hits the ball high in the air, Heath dives full stretch and gets one hand on it, but unfortunately for her, parries it to the boundary.

  19. Originals 12-0published at 94 balls left

    Beth Langston, a former England bowler, is playing for the first time in The Hundred. She bowls two wides - perhaps some early nerves.

    117 more runs needed

    Another four to Lizelle Lee, this one swept down the leg side. Not a great start for the Superchargers.
