  1. Originals 72-4

    Need 42 from 25 balls

    Kaur is seeing the ball big now. She lofts a shot off Wong that looks for all of the world like a four at least, but these big boundaries give the fielder a chance to reel it in.

  2. Originals 69-4

    Need 45 from 27 balls

    Phoenix's stable of bowlers are struggling to stem things now. Wong is clubbed for another single. Only a good bit of fielding saved it being more.

  3. Originals 67-4

    Need 47 from 29 balls

    Always two. Kaur pulls and Originals chip further away at that target.

  4. Stephan Shemilt
    Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Plenty of cheers from this Old Trafford crowd. They realise Manchester Originals need plenty more of those boundaries.

  5. Originals 65-4

    Need 49 from 31 balls

    Some big swings of the bat happening now. Threlkeld enters the action in a big way with a big punch over the top and for four. Strong.

  6. Originals 60-4

    Need 54 from 34 balls

    Kaur is 31 from 31. She's been excellent. A bit of a one-woman show for the Originals so far.

  7. Originals 59-4

    Need 55 from 35 balls

    There has been a definite shift in intent from the Originals. They look much more proactive, finding gaps, running hard.

  8. Originals 55-4

    Need 59 from 38 balls

    Kaur is the one. She stays in until the end here and the Originals are in with a shout.

    Gordon is back on looking to make another breakthrough for the Phoenix.

    This is the danger for Phoenix - running out of spin bowlers. Kaur plays the seamers so well.

  10. Originals 52-4

    Need 62 from 41 balls

    Good running. Kaur digs out an Elwiss yorker and sees the ball run away to fine leg. They pick up a sprinted three.

  11. Originals 49-4

    Need 65 from 42 balls

    Gap found. Kaur uses all her skill and wit to guide one down to the rope for a much-needed four.

  12. Stephan Shemilt
    Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    The ball was on course to hit the stumps and Maqsood could not cling on.

  13. dropped catch

    Originals 43-4

    Need 71 from 45 balls

    Technically it's a drop, but it would have been some snare off her own bowling. The ball was hammered back at Maqsood.

    Stops a definite four, though.

  14. Originals 42-4

    Need 72 from 46 balls

    Nice drift from Maqsood. She nearly beats the bat of Kaur, with Jones waiting for the stumping.

  15. Originals 41-4

    Need 73 from 48 balls

    A lot on the shoulders of Harmanpreet Kaur here. She looks the most likely to guide the Originals home.

  16. Originals 39-4

    Need 75 from 50 balls

    The Originals just can't find the rope. Every ball without one increases the pressure. Excellent set of five from Issy Wong.

  17. Originals 39-4

    Need 75 from 52 balls

    The Phoenix have a slip in. Their ground fielding is superb. They are looking to force the issue.

  18. Originals 36-4

    Need 78 from 55 balls

    Where's your money now? Phoenix in the ascendancy. All the momentum is with them.

    That is just reward for some excellent bowling by Maqsood. The Originals have found her really hard to get away.
