    Lee c Windsor b Gray 64 (Originals 101-6)

    Lizelle Lee finally goes! She had to keep going for the big shots but on this occasion can only hole out to Emily Windsor on the mid-wicket boundary.

    Lee goes and with it you'd also think the Originals' chances of victory.

    Alice Capsey is cursing herself as she drops the ball in too short and Lizelle Lee, who must be seeing it like a beach ball at the moment, sweeps away for another four.

    She repeats the trick next ball! Lee is keeping the Originals' hopes of a win alive here.

    A single off the final delivery brings up their 100 with 25 balls left.

    Shabnim Ismail looks a fearsome competitor. Collar up, she orders her team-mates into position in the field before coming steaming in.

    Ami Campbell has fortune on her side as she scampers through for a risky second run without sliding her bat in to her crease, with replays showing she would have been run out with a direct hit.

    Lizelle Lee sweeps Eva Gray around the corner for her seventh four of the innings to bring up her fifty.

    A wonderful knock in difficult circumstances. And the determined look on Lee's face suggests she is in the mood for more.

    Our match at Headingley is very much in the balance at the halfway stage.

    Ross Whitely is the latest Northern Superchargers batter to go, toe-ending a fuller Adil Rashid delivery straight to David Willey on the off side.

    The Southern Brave need 75 runs from 50 balls with five wickets in hand.

    Rehan Ahmed will be the key wicket. He looks set on 22 off 18.

    Lizelle Lee is going down fighting.

    She has swept a full toss from Alice Capsey away over mid-wicket for another huge six!

    It's pretty much impossible now. But they will still want to leave a mark.

    Mullan run out (Capsey) 9 (Originals 63-5)

    Comedy run out klaxon!

    Disaster for Manchester Originals as new bowler Alice Capsey fields off her own bowling and looks up to see both batters hesitating in the middle of the pitch.

    The throw goes in to the wicketkeeper Lauren Winfield-Hill with Daisy Mullan absolutely miles out of her crease and she has the simple task of removing the bails.

    Soft in the extreme.

    Oval Invincibles' Emily Windsor on the player mic: "Smale looks dangerous and she has been all competition.

    "It's a good atmosphere and it has been all tournament. We've been really lucky.

    "We've got a good mixture of internationals and the variety in the group is great. We've got left arm spinners, traditional off-spinners. It's a team that knows how to win. Everyone has set the standards really high.

    "People are playing for places and that adds to any competition. Each overseas player brings something different."

    Daisy Mullan is playing the support role nicely. She is on a run-a-ball eight as Originals trundle up to 62-4 at the halfway stage.

    They needed to reach their victory target in 73 balls to have a chance of qualifying, which is out of the window. Doing so in the full 100 is also looking tough at this stage.

    And another boundary! It's an attempted pull from Lizelle Lee but it flies off the top edge and over fine leg.

    The standard of fielding has really massively improved throughout this tournament since last year.

    Invincibles have fielded so well and that's what has got them over the line in some crunch matches.

  16. Originals 56-4published at 55 balls

    This is a superb innings in difficult circumstances from Lizelle Lee as she sweeps Sophia Smale around the corner for four. Brilliant shot.

    Lee has moved on to 36 from just 24 balls.

    And with good reason. Ultra edge reveals a thin inside edge off Lizelle Lee's bat.

    Lee is such a strong sweeper of the ball. It went like a bullet.
