    That's really good bowling. The Phoenix are on top.

    WICKET

    Du Preez st Jones b Maqsood 4 (Originals 35-4)

    Rapid with the gloves!

    Du Preez leaves her ground chasing a shot to the leg side but misses and Jones is lightning to whip off the bails.

    The Originals are crumbling.

  3. Originals 35-3

    Need 79 from 57 balls

    Maqsood with a switch of ends. Keeps the pressure up. A loose short ball could be punished, but Kaur can't pick the gap.

    Cricket commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    The game is going through a bit of a lull and the Originals will not want it to stay in a lull for much longer.

    Tamlyn Goodrich: Always wondered what medium pace means? At what point is medium pace then quick? Does it change for women? Or just all medium pace seamers? Baffling.

  6. Originals 33-3

    Need 81 from 60 balls

    It is all just steady progress right now from the Originals. Smart after those early wickets. This partnership will be crucial in the chase.

  7. Originals 31-3

    Need 83 from 62 balls

    Emily Arlott is on. Starts with a classic yorker. And continues to keep it tight.

  8. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I really enjoy watching Maqsood bowl - a leg-spinner with superb control. You don't see that much in all cricket.

  9. Originals 30-3

    Need 84 from 65 balls

    That'll do. Maqsood responds with a couple of dots.

    This chase is going to go deep into the 100 balls.

  10. Originals 30-3

    Need 84 from 67 balls

    Abtaha Maqsood is on. More spin from the Scotland international.

    Just the four runs from her first three.

  11. Originals 26-3

    Need 88 from 70 balls

    Excellent work from Wong. The Phoenix are bang in this now. What looked a modest total, suddenly looks a bit imposing.

    A fine diving catch in the end, Gordon had to make more ground than I first thought.

    WICKET

    Boyce c Gordon b Wong 3 (Originals 24-3)

    Wonderful catch!

    Issy Wong brings some heat for the Phoenix, war paint on and ready to rock. She draws a false stroke from Boyce who sends the ball skywards and drawing a superb diving catch from Gordon.

    Phoenix rising!

  15. Originals 23-2

    Ticking along. Operating in singles off Burns.

  17. Originals 19-2

    Need 95 from 79 balls

    Smash. Out to midwicket. Cut out on the edge, but it is just a one. Good fielding.

  18. Originals 18-2

    Need 96 from 80 balls

    Harmanpreet Kaur is a classy customer. She's already looking to make things happen.

  19. Originals 18-2

    Need 96 from 82 balls

    Originals will take those. Kaur edges and gets a four for it.

  20. Originals 14-2

    Need 100 from 84 balls

    Georgia Elwiss is on, bring some medium pace to proceedings.

    Kaur steers one away superbly to pick up two and bring the target to 100.
