Brave 81-1
Big chance!
Emma Lamb so nearly has a wicket first ball as Danni Wyatt tries to clear the ropes.
It's launched out to long on where Kathryn Bryce comes around, gets both hands to it before the ball slips out and trickles into the boundary sponge.

After that 10-ball set from Amanda-Jade Wellington, Manchester Originals call for a strategic timeout.
They need to come up with something special if they are going to win from here.
Brave need to reach 112 to confirm their place in the final and 119 to win the match.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC TwoThis is a serious level of talent from Maia Bouchier.
She is so composed at the crease and it's a beautiful use of the feet.

Danni Wyatt angles the ball down to deep third again but this time Phoebe Graham is able to reel it in before the rope.
She might have a bruise for her troubles, though, after a bit of a bumpy landing as he went for the slide.

This is an impressive start from Maia Bouchier.
She pumps the last ball of Mahika Gaur's set up and over mid-off.
"Go on, plug," whispers Katie George on player mic. It doesn't, it rolls and just nudges into the boundary cushion for four.

Mandhana run out (Wellington) 8 (Brave 15-1)
Direct hit! Brilliant from Amanda-Jade Wellington!
Mistimed pull shot from Smriti Mandhana and initially it looked like it would be a catch to mid-on.
Wellington didn't get it but more than made up for it with a clean pick up and throw to run out the dangerous Mandhana by a distance.
Brave 15-0published at 89 balls left
Target 119
Super shot!
Full and floaty first up from Kathryn Bryce and Smriti Mandhana hammers the ball back down the ground for four.

Kate Cross
England bowler on BBC TwoI just love watching Mahika Gaur. She is bowling at two of the best in the world here and is making it difficult for them.
She has got so much potential and so much to learn still at just 17 years old.
