    Looking to open herself up now, Dunkley. Two batters who have been for a good period of time should have measure of what the pitch is doing.

    Brave 105-3published at 80 balls

    Grace Potts bowls the next set and keeps the rate down with her first four deliveries.

    But Dunkley releases the pressure last ball, coming down the ground and launching a six over the top.

    Another life there for Dunkley, she seems to have the Luck of the Irish today.

    And another chance for a wicket as Cordelia Griffiths sprints in from the boundary trying to catch a Sophia Dunkley looper but can't quite get her hands to it.

    Brave 92-3

    Not out. Four runs are given. The third umpire has adjudged that Dottin was in touch with the boundary rope before she got rid of the ball. A very tight call.

  7. Umpire reviewpublished at 71 balls

    A run out, but they're checking it.

    Maia Bouchier thinks she's struck a four but does Deandra Dottin save the boundary?

    And there's a mix-up between the batters with Sophia Dunkley well out of her crease. The throw comes in and the bails are taken off with both batters stood at the same end.

    Four or wicket?

    Gives herself a little bit of room here, Dunkley. Kate Cross at mid-off is quite wide there you have to say.

  9. Brave 88-3published at 70 balls

    Well that will release some of the pressure.

    Sophia Dunkley finds the gap between the bowler and mid-off, firing the ball for four runs.

    Dunkley is not looking all that comfortable out there, given that she's coming off a brilliant international summer.

    Hannah Jones will continue with another set of five. Why not hey?

    Two new batters are in.

    That's as plumb as they come. It was cannoning on to middle and leg stump.

    McGrath hardly misses that shot, it's one of her favourite shots.

    McGrath lbw Jones 3 (Brave 81-3)

    Plumb!

    Spinning is winning as Hannah Jones has Tahlia McGrath sweeping a quicker one. She misses and the ball thuds into her pad. Easy decision for the umpire.

    Two new batters for Brave. They may bat deep, but this is a crucial partnership here.

  16. Brave 81-2published at 60 balls

    And Ecclestone nearly has new batter Tahlia McGrath as a spitter whistles past the stumps.

    The Originals are coming back into the fold.

    That's a bit of a nothing shot there. It was a sticky innings from Wyatt.

    Wyatt b Ecclestone 31 (Brave 78-2)

    That's one way to bounce back!

    Sophie Ecclestone goes fuller and spins one on to the top of off-stump.

    Danni Wyatt walks off having struck 31 off 24.

    I think this is a plan to attack Ecclestone!

  20. Brave 78-1published at 56 balls

    Forget about Dunkley, Danni Wyatt has just smashed Ecclestone for yet another four.

    The star bowler can't find her line.
