    Blake Cullen will know how Ben Stokes felt in that World T20 final.

    It's a big ask for a young bowler to bowl 10 in a row. Could this be the moment that changes the game?

    Target 143

    REMEMBER THE NAME.

    Blake Cullen bowled beautifully those last five balls, but the risk was always that Carlos Brathwaite would be able to line him up.

    And he does - a towering blow into the crowd over long-on.

    They're keeping Cullen on for another five. It's a gamble, but is it a gamble that will pay off?

  7. Originals 98-4published at 25 balls left

    Need 45 runs to win

    Colin Ackermann loops it up off a leading edge and the ball just lands safely between two fielders.

    Nervy times for the Originals now.

    They need a few mighty blows.

    Blake Cullen is staying on...

  8. Originals 97-4published at 26 balls left

    Need 46 runs to win

    Brathwaite finally connects but it's just a single on the bounce to long-on.

    Good start for Blake Cullen. Three dot balls at Carlos Brathwaite!

  10. Originals 96-4published at 27 balls left

    Need 47 runs to win

    Carlos Brathwaite is trying to everything out of the ground as Blake Cullen pitches it short, at pace.

    But Brathwaite hasn't got his eye in yet and misses with three heaves in a row.

    These dot balls could prove very costly.

  11. Originals 96-4published at 30 balls left

    Need 47 runs to win

    A much, much better set of five from Roelof van der Merwe, who concedes only four runs.

    Every run is met with cheers, as is every misfield. The home crowd are playing the 12th man role perfectly here for Manchester Originals. This place will erupt if they pull off the win.

  13. Originals 92-4published at 35 balls

    TENSE.

    Who are you going for from here?

    Joe Cracknell would've gone viral if he'd taken that.

    It was a miracle he got a palm on it at all.

    Joe Cracknell is really disappointed he didn't palm the ball in the air to take the catch, but it was an incredible effort!

    It's all kicking off at Old Trafford!

    What a save! That is incredible!

    My days! Mason Crane drags it down again and Carlos Brathwaite swivels to power it over the ropes...

    Only Joe Cracknell sprints round, leaps and manages to tap the ball back in before it lands.

    Tremendous effort but they're going to have to check it...after plenty of replays, it's given as a single. Take a bow, Joe Cracknell.

  19. Originals 91-4published at 37 balls left

    Carlos Brathwaite might have a poor record against leg-spin but he's not going to miss a short, wide one.

    The West Indies all-rounder mashes his first ball for four.
