    That is a huge wicket.

    Alice Capsey was looking dangerous and looked set to be taking the Invincibles to a very big score.

    But she has got them into a comfortable position to go big from here.

    Capsey st Threlkeld b Morris 50 (Invincibles 101-3)

    It's 50 and out for Alice Capsey!

    She skips down to Fi Morris, misses with a big swing and Ellie Threlkeld does the rest behind the stumps.

    Key wicket for the Originals.

    The England all-rounder brings up her half-century from 40 balls. An excellent knock from the teenager.

    It has got a bit sloppy. You can see some fielders with hands on hips, quite a few runs have been leaked.

    The fielding errors are just starting to creep in for the Originals.

  6. Invincibles 99-2published at 80 balls

    More suspect fielding from the Originals. Dane van Niekerk hits over the top but the ball really should be stopped.

    Instead, Amanda-Jade Wellington is unable to flick the ball back and it bobbles over the rope for four.

    Capsey and Ecclestone are best mates. Both of them will be desperate to get the better of the other!

    Alice Capsey isn't afraid to use her feet against Sophie Ecclestone and has got a huge piece of that.

  9. 6 runs

    Invincibles 93-2published at 76 balls

    Brilliant from Alice Capsey! She smashed Sophie Ecclestone back over her head for a big, big six!

  10. Invincibles 87-2published at 75 balls

    Another misfield at backward point allows Alice Capsey's firm reverse sweep to get through for four.

    It ruins a decent five from Fi Morris that had cost only three up to that point.

    Dane van Niekerk's 22 off 12 has been very impressive so far. She is yet to play a false shot.

    Here is Sophie Ecclestone's wicket of Suzie Bates - bowled on the sweep.

    We're going to have more spin now with Fi Morris coming on to bowl the next five...

  13. Root takes second wicket for Rocketspublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 9 August 2023

    Joe Root has a second wicket of the day for Trent Rockets.

    He has had Saif Zaib caught at short fine leg for 21, breaking the Northern Superchargers' rebuilding partnership.

    Root finishes his 20 balls with a handy 2-25 and the Superchargers are 79-5 after 70 balls in need of a big finish.

  14. Invincibles 80-2published at 70 balls

    It took a while but the Invincibles are finally starting to gain a bit of momentum in this innings.

    So wisely, the Originals take a strategic timeout to plot their moves for the last 30 balls.

  15. Invincibles 77-2published at 68 balls

    Fi Morris took 5-7 in the Orginals last match but she is still waiting for a bowl today.

    Amanda-Jade Wellington continues and a misfield at backward point allows Dane van Niekerk's reverse sweep to get through for four.

    The spin has tied Alice Capsey down - she loves attacking pace.

    Luckily for Sophie Ecclestone, she's got plenty of spinners to work with!

  17. Invincibles 72-2published at 65 balls

    Capsey 36, Van Niekerk 15

    Four more! Crunched through the covers by Alice Capsey to end an expensive set of five from Katie George.

    Dane van Niekerk has come in and given the innings some real impetus.

  19. Invincibles 67-2published at 61 balls

    A costly no-ball from Katie George as Dane van Niekerk swings the ball away behind square on the leg side... and it's another no-ball.

    Another free hit and Van Niekerk swats this one through the same region for four more. The batter was backing away, George tried to follow her but got it all wrong.

  20. Zaib and Carse fighting for Superchargerspublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 9 August 2023

    This partnership from Northants' Saif Zaib and Durham's Brydon Carse has stretched to 37.

    It has got Northern Superchargers to 68-4 after 60 balls following Luke Wood's explosive opening spell for Trent Rockets.

    Carse has just clubbed one six. The Superchargers need plenty more.

    Can they get up to 140?
