Birmingham Phoenix have got over the line.

They always looked in control after they struck the second-highest total in the women's Hundred, finishing on 161-5.

Captain Tammy Beaumont was the lynchpin in the hosts' chase, hitting 39 runs off 35 balls.

But when she and Annabel Sutherland (34 off 21) fell in quick succession in the closing stages, there only seemed to be one winner.

South Africa all-rounder Tristan Stubbs is going to bowl some spin...

Really good from Tom Hartley, who prevents any more boundaries coming as he bowls 10 on the spin.

The Rockets still should win this, incredibly, but Hartley has given the Originals a sniff.

Meanwhile it's disaster for Welsh Fire as Katie George slips running a second and partner Fran Wilson is run out for 20 off 12.

Welsh Fire need 25 runs off five balls. Birmingham Phoenix are all smiles again.

Iain Cockbain is the new batter. Three dots to start.

The crowd are mummering. They just about still believe.

Well hang on. Two fours from Fran Wilson has brought Welsh Fire's chase down to 27 needed off eight.

They still believe.

Given out lbw! Is this the twist?

Tom Kohler-Cadmore reviews.

There are 10 balls left in Cardiff and Welsh Fire need 35 more runs to win. I don't think they're going to do it.

The Rockets only need a run per ball with 30 to go.

Six more to Malan, crunched off the back foot. Manchester Originals look beaten. Could Malan still get his hundred too?

Among the madness Paul Walter has bowled pretty well. He comes back well after that boundary.

The crowd have been quietened. Do they really still believe? It doesn't sound like it.

Jack Rule: I’m really really really beginning to dislike the colour yellow and any form of space travel! And as for the Skips I’ve just brought for my nephew they are going right back to the shop!

(We assume Jack is a Manchester fan and not someone who has just done a U-turn on crisp preferences)

Yep, another four - this time for Tom Kohler-Cadmore who has been doing a very good impression of Alex Hales since Hales fell.

The Rockets are making this look so, so easy. I can assure this is not normal.

Down in Cardiff Welsh Fire need 55 more runs from 25 balls.

Annabel Sutherland is leading the charge for the hosts against Birmingham Phoenix on 24 off 15.

You can listen to all the action from Cardiff right here.

Edged and four.

Manchester Originals must wish they could go and hide behind the digger in the building site. It's just relentless, relentless run-scoring.

Down! It was smashed hard but Andre Russell should have taken this.

Former India wicketkeeper on Test Match Special

These two are making this chase look like a walk in the park.
