  1. WICKET

    Ecclestone c Mandhana b Wellington 1 (Originals 112-4)

    Is it starting to unravel for the Originals?

    Sophie Eccelstone sends one skywards off Amanda-Jade Wellington. So high it might have struck any low-flying aircraft on their way to Southampton airport. Smriti Mandhana gobbles up the catch.

  2. Fifty for Lamb

    Emma Lamb gets herself to a half-century, rocking back and pulling it through the leg side for four off spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington

    I reckon the next couple of sets are very important. If Southern Brave can get a wicket or notch up some dots, it'll really create the pressure on the Originals.

  4. Originals 105-3

    Well, Sophie Ecclestone can hit a 'big ball' as they say in the trade.

    Brave are turning the screw now. Emma Lamb has been there since the start. She has to grab the game by the scruff of the neck.

    Three runs and wicket from those five balls from Lauren Bell.

    I'd love to see Ecclestone just come out now and strong-arm it, maybe six-seven balls of aggression.

    That will just swing the dial in favour of Southern Brave, you feel.

  7. WICKET

    Campbell c Wyatt b Bell 9 (Originals 102-3)

    Ami Campbell attempts to force the issue, hitting Lauren Bell down the ground, but is caught by Danni Wyatt.

    Sophie Ecclestone the new batter.

    West Indies all-rounder on BBC radio

    It's important for Manchester Originals to not feel they're very ahead of this chase. I think they need one set of five balls where they produce 10-12 runs to make it comfortable.

  9. Originals 101-2

    So, 36 off 25 balls for the Originals to win this then.

    England bowler Lauren Bell is back into the bowling attack for the Brave.

    Brave were 92-3 at this stage. The Originals are slightly ahead, but it comes down to these two in the middle.

  12. Not out

    Emma Lamb's foot is behind the line. She is safe.

    Pretty confident this is not out as her foot never left her crease.

  14. Umpire review

    An appeal for a stumping after wicketkeeper Carla Rudd takes the bails off. Georgia Adams the bowler. Did Emma Lamb's foot lift off the floor?

    The square-leg umpire sends it upstairs...

  15. Originals 95-2

    Anya Shrubsole finishes with four runs of her set of five. Her final ball just flashes past the stumps of Emma Lamb, and the Brave skipper has her head in her hands

    BBC Radio

    Emma Lamb is playing the anchor's role. She just needs to find a way to ensure the required run rate doesn't rise too much.

  17. Originals 94-2

    Anya Shrubsole has two sets of five left, and she gambles now is the time to exert some pressure. Three singles off her first three balls. To plan, so far.

  18. Strategic time out

    Brave quickly chew the fat to assess how they can themselves back on this game.

    Campbell identified that slower ball from Kemp. It has not quite come off for her yet, turned out to be more of a hit-me delivery.

    McGrath was interested in a catch for a moment, it just dropped short.
