    Deandra Dottin been absolutely superb. 31 years of age, a T20 hundred to her name and now a half century in The Hundred and she can add this to her alcalde. She's been absolutely exceptional.

    Originals 112-2

    A single and that's a maiden Hundred 50 for Deandra Dottin, coming off just 31 balls.

    A brilliant response to her two-ball duck last game.

  8. Originals 106-2published at 80 balls

    When in doubt, turn to Alex Hartley. The Welsh Fire star finishes her latest set of five by conceding just four runs.

    Hartley has now bowled out, finishing on 1-17 off 20 balls. The Originals have been pegged back once again.

    Two more singles finish the set. Manchester Originals have accelerated well and must be targeting 130 or 140 from here.

    Dottin has picked it up really well. Banging the ball really hard into the leg side. She is doing very well.

    The 100 comes up for Manchester Originals as Deandra Dottin pulls to the boundary. She's now just one shot away from a half-century.

    Ecclestone 1, Dottin 42

    New batter Sophie Ecclestone gets a single off the final ball of Annabel Sutherland's latest set.

    Advantage Welsh Fire again?

    The partnership is broken!

    Emma Lamb never really looked set, falling for 35 off 40.

    She tries to force a big shot, getting a sweep horribly wrong and top-edging the ball straight to Claire Nicholas in the deep.

    The strategic timeout can break momentum for both sides. If you're batting and it's going well, it could really break that.

    At the moment it would work for Welsh Fire because they had the moment to regroup and restrategise.

    We go again.

    Anabel Sutherland continues with pace but Deandra Dottin is in the mood now. She's a 360 batter, flicking the ball behind her through a vacant fine leg to move on to 42 off 24.

  17. Originals 88-1published at 65 balls

    Nobody has managed to pick Alex Hartley so far. Well nobody but Deandra Dottin.

    The West Indies batter gets down low and swipes the ball with power through the leg side for four.

    The Welsh Fire call a strategic timeout. Dottin, on 37 off 22, needs to be stopped.

    The run map shows Deandra Dottin scored 37 with 1 six, 4 fours, 3 two, and 9 singles for Manchester Originals Women

    Suddenly there is a shift in momentum. Manchester Originals will be happy with where they are at the moment and if they can double their score it will be a decent total.

    Katie George returns to the attack but oversteps first ball and hands Deandra Dottin a free hit. She capitalises; four runs over the top.

    And a few balls later she finds the ropes once again, pulling to the boundary.

    The momentum has shifted.

    You can see the desperation from Emma Lamb. She is trying everything but for some reason she doesn't have enough on the shots.

    But things can change very quickly in cricket.
