One element that the Rockets could have done better and can still do better is their running between the wickets.
Summary
Originals fall well short of chasing 120 to win at Old Trafford

Rockets 71-4published at 65 balls
Hannah Jones is back on and that's another very tidy set from the spinner.
Freeborn and Brunt have done a decent job of steadying the ship (or Rocket?) but with balls quickly running out, they'll need to up the run-rate before long.
Rockets 68-4published at 60 balls
Smart shot from Freeborn! On the front foot, down on one knee and scooped over her head for four.
A proper Dil-scoop, named after the former Sri Lanka batter Tillakaratne Dilshan, who pretty much perfect the shot!

Former India wicketkeeper on Test Match SpecialThe Originals have a strong bowling attack but if you look at the Rockets as well they have some really good spinners.
If you look at both of these sides, the strongest suit is the bowling.
Rockets 63-4published at 55 balls
Good work from Ami Campbell in the deep. Freeborn slaps the ball out towards her but it spins just before it reaches the fielder.
It looks as though she'd gone too far but no, Campbell sticks out a hand. Straight in. Never in doubt.

Dan: Dottin could be the difference this year. Bowling for Originals looking strong.
Rockets 59-4published at 51 balls
Close! Brunt is down the pitch to Lamb and lofts the ball down the ground.
Ecclestone comes in from the boundary and dives forward for the catch but the ball drops just short of her. Good effort but it's two runs to the Rockets total.

We've reached the halfway stage in the innings and it has been all Originals so far. Emma Lamb makes an excellent stop in the covers, the home side have been excellent in all aspects so far.
Plenty of work for Freeborn and Brunt to do.
Rockets 55-4published at 46 balls
Short from Dottin but Freeborn was ready for it and pulls it away smartly.
Four more, this is a handy knock from Freeborn and the Rockets need her to keep going.

Former India wicketkeeper on Test Match SpecialThat's a sensible shot, a really good cricketing shot.
She's used the angle really well, all she had to do was tap it around the corner which she did.
Rockets 51-4published at 45 balls
Freeborn 10, Brunt 0
Valuable runs for the Rockets! A touch too wide from Ecclestone, that allows Freeborn to free her arms and the ball comes off the outside edge and away for four.
Four more! A lap sweep from Freeborn, using the pace of Ecclestone and getting the ball up and over short fine leg. Clever shot.

Former India wicketkeeper on Test Match SpecialIt's a big, big break for the Originals, getting the batter who was set.
She's paid the price of trying to play Ecclestone on the back foot.

Smith b Ecclestone 16 (Rockets 43-4)
Dragged on!
Bryony Smith had been trying to hold this innings together but with Sophie Ecclestone giving her nothing to work with, she tries to force it.
The result is an inside edge onto her boot and the ball ricochets into her stumps. That's a big wicket.
Rockets 40-3published at 35 balls
The Rockets just can't get going.
Bryony Smith is still there but is not getting as much of the strike as she'd like with the Originals bowlers, Cross in this instance, keeping the other batters tied down.

Du Preez c H Jones b Cross 9 (Rockets 38-3)
Another short ball and it's caught in the deep!
Kate Cross brings herself back on and gets the wicket with her second ball. Mignon du Preez tried to uppercut it but it is straight down the throat of Hannah Jones at deep third.
The Originals are well on top now.

Central Sparks all-rounder on BBC radioI don't think they'll be too happy Trent at the moment. I think they would have wanted more runs on the board.
They've gone out and are looking to strike the ball which is great. Nobody has really blocked the ball.
But I think the girls will look to push on.
