BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIt was tempting for Cross to go for the catch, it was a good effort but by going for the catch she's conceded a four.

Kate Cross has cut her hand going for that catch, drawing blood. Nasty.

Smith beats the diving fielder and finds four through long off. It was there to be claimed but fell short and skipped past. All or nothing.

Anything in triple figures makes this interesting. If only from a psychological view for the Originals in the chase. Dyson does well to stick out a hand and prevent Smith hitting down the ground.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIt seems like the Superchargers have found a bit of confidence from somewhere.

Cross finished with 3-19 off her 20. Fine figures, but as Henry says, tarnished a tad by those last few balls.
Hartley takes over and is pulled away with power by Wolvaardt to keep the runs coming.
