    Ecclestone was trying to land a meaty blow but ran straight past it.

    Ecclestone st Jones b Gordon 1 (Originals 79-6)

    Done by the pace. Ecclestone charges down but is foxed by the slower ball and misses, allowing Jones to whip away the bails.

    Need 35 from 14 balls

    Gordon bowls, Ecclestone can't get her away.

    Need 35 from 15 balls

    Kaur tries to puncture the field but the Phoenix are well-placed.

    Looks a big ask now for the Originals.

    I love that. That was reward for the risk of bringing the leg-spinner back on.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    Threlkeld b Maqsood 17 (Originals 77-5)

    Hammer blow!

    Threlkeld tries to pull a straight Maqsood ball but fatally misses and is cleaned up.

  10. Originals 77-4published at 17:00 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    Need 37 from 18 balls

    Kaur is moving fine now. Grimacing a bit mind.

    Kaur is back up, but Mignon du Preez has just sprinted off to the changing room. Is she getting padded up to come out and assist? Maybe not. Kaur is up and taking her guard.

    I think Kaur has strained her back before. This is concerning.

  14. Postpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    Kaur is getting some treatment and looks unhappy. Threlkeld is stood over her having a giggle with a colleague. Just what Kaur needs right now.

    Only boundaries are going to hurt the Phoenix from here.

  16. Originals 76-4published at 16:56 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    Need 38 from 20 balls

    Brilliant from Burns. Restricting the Originals to scraps.

    It takes some good running from the last ball of the set to bring the home side a couple.

    Kaur has to dive and now looks in a bit of pain. Surely not another runner?

  17. Originals 73-4published at 16:55 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    Need 41 from 23 balls

    Burns, still sporting her cap to bowl, is back. She's been excellent so far. Not giving the Originals a sniff.

    The Originals are not out of this, but they've never been ahead of the rate of scoring required.

  19. Originals 72-4published at 16:53 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    Need 42 from 25 balls

    Just 30% on the win predictor for the Originals? Really?

    Kaur definitely felt she should've got four for that shot.
