Welsh Fire spinner Alex Hartley to Sky Sports: "I loved it. I like the challenge. To go out there and try and perform against my old team was good fun.

"I just tried to mix it up because it felt like a good surface so it was just about being consistently inconsistent. We just need to build partnerships - D Dot [Deandra Dottin] and Emma Lamb just built the partnership and we thought it was tough going with the bat at that point."

Has the game got away from Welsh Fire with that late flurry from Deandra Dottin and Sophie Ecclestone?

This Deandra Dottin ramp early on set the tone for the Originals' innings.

Dottin's 67 came off 37 balls with eight fours and two sixes.

Thanks, Josef.

Well, that innings warmed up after a slow start, didn't it?

A superb 67 from Deandra Dottin provided the backbone of it.

Right, I'm ready for a lie down. Michael Beardmore is across Welsh Fire's chase.

I thought Sophie Ecclestone was outstanding and her role is so important and you can hear it with the fans.

Unbelievable cameo from Sophie Ecclestone, an outstanding recovery after a slight light sluggish start from the Manchester Originals.

A brilliant finish from Deandra Dottin (67*) and Sophie Ecclestone (36*) gives the Manchester Originals a mammoth first-innings total of 156-2.

At the halfway stage the hosts were on 60-1. What an acceleration.

A huge six from Sophie Ecclestone. What a hit! It came down the track casual as you like and just hit it right in front of the hospitality stand. And still two balls to go.

Next up a well-timed two.

Originals 150-2published at 98 balls

98 balls

What a hit. Sophie Ecclestone smashes Hayley Matthews for a huge six. She moves on to 30 off 16.

The 150 comes up.

Another one. Three balls remain.

A single from Ecclestone. Deandra Dottin is back on strike.

A rare, precious dot for Welsh Fire.

Five balls remain. Will the Originals reach 150? 160 even?

The hits keep coming for the Manchester Originals. Deandra Dottin is on one… as the kids say.

A wide and then another monster four from Dottin, this one over backward-point.

She moves on to 65 from 35.

Everything is going the Manchester Originals way.

Another four, Deandra Dottin doesn't get all of the ball as she scoops Annabel Sutherland but she gets enough. Four more runs.

A monster hit from Deandra Dottin. Straight into the crowd. She got down on one knee and pounded it.
