    Well, well as the rain continues to fall in London and deny us any action at Lord's, the sun continues to shine at Old Trafford.

    I'm going to head for a rehydration break as they say on the in-ground advertisements while Phil Dawkes will take you through the Originals' run-chase.

  2. Originals need 114 to winpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 25 July 2021

    So a very disciplined bowling display there from the hosts.

    Emma Lamb with 3-16 from her 20 balls, a couple of wickets apiece too for Sophie Ecclestone and Laura Jackson.

    Amy Jones with 31 and Gwen Davies with 20 the main contributors for Phoenix.

    It's not going to be enough.

  4. Phoenix 113-9published at 100 balls

    Innings complete for Phoenix.

    They manage to scamper their way to 113 and avoid the embarassment of being the first side bowled out in the competition.

    Probably won't be enough you feel.

    Wong c Lee b Cross 10 (Phoenix 107-9)

    Bats flying everywhere! But not in a good way....

    Issy Wong takes a big swing at a ball from Kate Cross, lets go off her bat that goes flying off in one direction but the ball ends up ballooning straight to the hands of Lizelle Lee for the simple catch.

    Mack didn't run straight away because Davies did.

    What we feared might happen, has happened. Davies started running and that caused confusion.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 94 balls

    Davies run out 20 (Phoenix 108-8)

    Oh no! They've got themselves in a right mess there!

    Gwen Daviesplayed a shot into the off side, forgot that she had a runner and started setting off herself.

    Katie Mack didn't know if she should set off or not and in the end, she couldn't get in in time at the non-striker's end as Sophie Ecclestone took off the bails.

  10. Phoenix 106-7published at 92 balls

    Katie Mack scampers a two successfully at the first time of asking as Issy Wong finds a gap wide of long-on.

    A runner can often actually cause confusion because the batter naturally wants to take off and they shouldn't.

    And she will use one.

    Katie Mack strides out from the dug-out to perform the running duties for Gwen Davies.

    And our esteemed colleague Mr Shemilt also reminds us that you can have a runner in The Hundred if needed.

    It's been taken out of other formats of the game of late, but we could be about to see a first in this tournament...

    Gwen Davies looks to have gone down with a hamstring injury.

  15. ouch!

    Phoenix 104-7published at 91 balls

    Sophie Ecclestone back for her last five balls.

    Gwen Davies takes a single down to long-on but she is hobbling and down on the ground in some pain and discomfort by the looks of things with an injury.

    Nigel Llong is looking forward to the break between innings. No need to mess about.

  17. Phoenix 103-7published at 90 balls

    Emma Lamb's work for the day is complete with the ball.

    She takes 3-16 from her 20 balls.

    Here we got then for the last 10 of this Phoenix innings.

  18. Phoenix 102-7published at 88 balls

    Gwen Davies tries to reverse sweep Emma Lamb.

    Hint that she might have dragged her back foot out of the crease, but just the one look on the replay for Nigel Llong is enough.

    Not out.

  19. Phoenix 101-7published at 85 balls

    Chance of a stumping missed by Ellie Threlkeld as Gwen Davies takes a big swing and miss off Kate Cross.

    Emma Lamb comes back for her last five balls with three wickets to her name already.

    This partnership is giving Phoenix a glimmer of hope.
