    The Superchargers need another wicket...

  2. Originals 89-4published at 15 balls left

    Pressure. Linsey Smith starts her latest spell with a wide.

  3. Originals 88-4published at 15 balls left

    Need 25 runs from 15 balls

    Helped for four more by Sophie Ecclestone!

    That's a poor ball down the leg side by Alice Davidson-Richards. Are the Originals favourites now?

  4. 6 runs

    Originals 83-4published at 17 balls left

    Six!

    Emma Lamb slaps her England team-mate Alice Davidson-Richards over the rope.

    She has 45 now and the Originals need 30 from 17.

  5. Originals 77-4published at 18 balls left

    And now Lamb punishes the mistake by cutting for four.

    Lamb dropped on 33published at 19 balls left

    Down! That could have been the game.

    Lucy Higham comes charging in after a skier from Emma Lamb. Once she got there she'll think she should have taken it.

  7. Originals 71-4published at 20 balls left

    Need 42 to win from 20 balls

    Better from Ballinger. She finishes her five-ball set with a wide yorker that results in a dot.

  8. Originals 68-4published at 24 balls left

    Is this the point Originals have to chance their arm?

    It's too full from left-armer Ballinger and Lamb lofts the ball away for four.

  9. Originals 63-4published at 25 balls left

    Lamb 26, Ecclestone 1

    Georgia Wareham comes back well after that edgy four.

    21-year-old Grace Ballinger returns to the attack...

  10. Originals 61-4published at 29 balls left

    Edged for four!

    They all count.

  11. Originals 57-4published at 30 balls left

    Need 56 runs to win

    Sophie Ecclestone joins her England team-mate Emma Lamb in the middle. Ecclestone can certainly hit them and she needs to do just that.

    Unfortunately for her she begins by twice hitting the in-field.

    A tough ask from here...

    Katie George cuts Linsey Smith's spin straight into the hands of Jemimah Rodrigues at backward point.

    Over to you, Emma Lamb. Your team needs you.

    She sweeps Linsey Smith for four.

    Dottin c Wareham b Davidson-Richards 27 (Originals 51-3)

    Superb catch!

    A big, big moment as Georgia Wareham snaffles Deandra Dottin on the boundary.

    The Australia international had to sprint round from deep mid-wicket and tip toe by the boundary edge to both take the ball and stop it going for six.

    Things have certainly improved for the visitors since this horror run out...

  17. Postpublished at 13:33 British Summer Time 13 August 2023

    Hollie Armitage has called her team together for a chat during the time out.

    Suddenly the Originals are 53% favourites according to the boffins.

  18. Originals 50-2published at 40 balls left

    Need 63 runs from 40 balls

    The Headingley crowd applauds as Grace Ballinger gets down well at short fine leg to stop Dottin gaining more runs. There are 10,828 inside Headingley this afternoon - a record there for a women's fixture.

    Dottin goes again a ball later and this time finds the gap.

    Game on!

  19. Originals 46-2published at 43 balls left

    And again! Dottin is taking on Georgia Wareham.

  20. Originals 42-2published at 44 balls left

    Four more to Deandra Dottin! Lovely shot.
