    I've got some attendance news for you - and I rather like attendance news!

    They've beaten the Oval Invincibles from Wednesday night for the women's match attendance here.

    We had 7,855 earlier here, but that's not a record for a domestic match. That came at Lord's this morning with around 13,500.

    WICKET

    Moeen c Finn b Brathwaite 15 (Originals 58-4)

    CARLOS!

    Moeen completely miscues a shot straight up in the air and Finn is underneath it to take the catch.

    Brathwaite does a little dance to celebrate another big wicket for the Originals.

  5. Phoenix 58-3

    That's superb from Brathwaite. A perfect yorker. Like a giant oak being felled he dives to field the ball too.

  6. Phoenix 56-3

    Big Carlos into the attack! This'll be fun.

    Moeen is definitely being affected here in the way he'd normally play by this apparent back strain.

    He doesn't want to play the shot he would usually against a spinner where he twists his back.

    The last four balls from Harrison he played quite deliberately into the offside.

  8. Phoenix 56-3

    Halfway there. The Originals have absolutely sprinted through those 50 balls.

  9. Phoenix 55-3

    Oh, Moeen nearly chops a all from Harrison on to his own stumps. He is fortunate to get two runs as the ball sneaks past Buttler.

  10. Stephan Shemilt
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    The white card seems to me something that was decided quite late on that they needed something to differentiate between five and 10 balls.

    With every other imaginable hand signal already taken, that was probably all that was left.

    It seems like a solution to a problem nobody thought about until quite late.

  11. Phoenix 53-3

    Moeen 11, Bell-Drummond 11

    Top edge! Brings two runs for Moeen, though. It is all spin at the moment.

  12. Phoenix 51-3

    Bell-Drummond is an opener. Surely his game here is to run it around and give Moeen as much strike as possible.

  13. What was Liam Livingstone attempting here?

  14. Phoenix 47-3

    Oof. That was hit very hard on the sweep from Moeen. Flew to the boundary.

  15. Phoenix 43-3

    Hartley fires through another set of five.

    The Originals have rattled through that 40 and Phoenix will now be feeling the pressure to clear the rope.

  16. Phoenix 42-3

    Runs proving very hard to come by from the spin. Almost a chance for a run out due to some confusion between the batters, but they survive.

  17. Phoenix 39-3

    Phoenix are in innings build mode. Can't afford to lose another wicket soon.

    Harrison spins one viciously past the dangled bat of Bell-Drummond.

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

    Quite enjoying watching Calvin Harrison bowl.

    Nice to see a tall leg-spinner.

  19. Phoenix 37-3

    Moeen nearly chips one straight to the bowler. Just a few inches from Harrison's grasp.

  20. Phoenix 36-3

    The ice creams are doing a good trade in the stands.

    Bet there are some jealous fans down in London watching on.

    Calvin Harrison - more spin - into the attack.
