    Northern Superchargers Women (109-8, 100 balls), Oval Invincibles Women 22-1, 25 balls)

    After a solid start by the Oval Invincibles openers in Leeds, Alice Capsey is first out, as she holes out just a ball after hitting her first four.

    Only three boundaries so far, and one of them an edge. But, even though in-form Capsey is gone, they still look to be pacing themselves nicely in pursuit of Northern Superchargers' below-par 109-8.

    Sarah Bryce is the new batter in to join Georgia Adams.

    That's a helluva shot from Joe Clarke, as though he knew what was coming from the bowler David Payne.

    Huge from Joe Clarke who goes back in his crease and pulls the ball across the line and into the stands deep on the long boundary square of the wicket.

  5. Originals 18-0published at 11 balls

    Left-armer David Payne darts on in at the hips of Joe Clarke, who clips it away only for Jake Ball to produce a brilliant diving stop at short fine leg to prevent the boundary.

    Phil Salt is key to this chase for Manchester Originals. He's destructive.

  7. Originals 15-0published at 93 balls left

    Jake Ball bowls a no-ball that comes off the inside edge of Phil Salt's bat and whistles down to the boundary for four. A free hit for but Salt is only able to hack it away.

    Two balls later, though, Salt whacks him back down the ground over his head for four.

    There's a bit of hoop from Payne, and he's bowling at a good pace.

  9. Originals 3-0published at 95 balls left

    A little bit of zip and swing from left-arm seamer David Payne first up. Really good start as just three runs taken from it.

    Northern Superchargers Women 109-8 (100 balls) v Oval Invincibles Women

    Alice Capsey is still 11 days short of her 17th birthday, but she has put in a great turn up in Leeds.

    Having her first bowl in the competition, the Oval Invincibles spinner sent down her 20 balls for just nine runs, to help limit Northern Superchargers to just 109-8.

    That is the most economical figures by any bowler completing their full set of 20 so far in The Hundred - men's or women's.

    Northern Superchargers Women 109-8 (100 balls) v Oval Invincibles Women

    Bad finish for the Northern Superchargers as they lose two wickets in three balls from Tash Farrant, both going for the longer of the two boundaries.

    Alice Davidson-Richards top scored with 42, her first dismissal in this competition, caught by Eva Gray.

    Then Kalea Moore followed her, caught by Grace Gibbs for 11.

    It's the lowest Superchargers score so far in three games

    "It's probably 30 runs too light," says BBC summariser Perter Trego.

    110 to win for the Invincibles.

    Originals will be disappointed, they will think Fire got 15 more than they would have liked.
