Somerset all-rounder on BBC radioSarah Bryce is very deep in her crease so this may be drifting down leg.

Early shout.
Has Linsey Smith got Sarah Bryce lbw off the third ball?
Umpire says no. This looks close and Superchargers review.

A bit of turn first ball.

Somerset all-rounder on BBC radioI was chatting to Alex Hartley yesterday and she said Welsh Fire were wary of Alyssa Healy at the top of the Northern Superchargers' order. Alice Davidson-Richards did really well when she made her debut for England earlier this summer so I'm looking forward to seeing her in action too.
For Fire Tammy Beaumont will shoulder a lot of responsibility opening the batting. Annabel Sutherland is also important coming in at four.

Northern Superchargers captain Holly Armitage: "We were going to have a bowl actually. A few overhead clouds, we just want to keep them to a low total.
"We'll get to have a look at how the pitch plays as well.
"Every game from now is a must-win game for us in order to make the eliminator. We're ready to go."
Today's match-up: Carey v Davidson-Richardspublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 26 August 2022
We've gone for a battle of the bowlers for today's key match-up.
Australian Nicola Carey has played just two games for the Fire in this year's Hundred taking 1-18 and 0-24, slowing down run rates and building up pressure for her side.
She's also contributed useful runs, striking 28 off 21 last time out.
Alice Davidson-Richards has grabbed five wickets across her five appearances for the Superchargers in this year's edition.
She took a brilliant 3-30 against the Birmingham Phoenix last week, getting the key wickets of internationals Amy Jones and Sophie Devine.
Who will shine today?

Welsh Fire captain Tammy Beaumont: "We are going to have a bat. I don't think the conditions will change and hopefully we can apply a bit of scoreboard pressure if we get a good score.
"There is just on change. Rachael Haynes is back and Maddy Green comes out."
On how to motivate the team despite being eliminated: "I told them to remember why they play the game. Remember that young girl who first picked up a bat or a ball and play for them. And play for this crowd too and hopefully inspire other young girls to play the game."

Here is how the table looks as we approach the business end of the women's competition.
Laura Wolvaardt guided Northern Superchargers to the highest chase in the women's Hundred against Manchester Originals on Sunday to secure their second win from four matches so far.
It means they still have a chance of reaching the semi-finals and can move level on points with second-placed Oval Invincibles with victory here.
Welsh Fire, in contrast, have just pride to play for. It has been a miserable competition for them so far as they prop up the table with four defeats from four.

It's crunch time at this late stage of the competition. Realistically, only a victory for the Northern Superchargers will keep their hopes of reaching the knockouts alive.
They visit winless Welsh Fire who are playing for pride with the pressure off.
The Fire have won the toss and will have a bat first.
Let's do this!
