    Armitage st Threlkeld b Bryce 46 (Superchargers 104-8)

    Another stumping!

    Hollie Armitage has no choice to go for the big shot but misses the ball and Ellie Threlkeld is once again rapid behind the stumps to collect and take out the bails.

  2. Superchargers 104-7published at 97 balls

    Hollie Armitage hits Kathryn Bryce away for another boundary to move to 46 from 42 balls. Where would this Superchargers innings be without her?

  3. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 94 balls

    Cross st Threlkeld b Wellington 1 (Superchargers 99-7)

    It is all going wrong for Superchargers.

    Kate Cross skips down the track to go for a huge heave but misses the ball and Threlkeld whips off the bails.

    Superchargers have lost three wickets for three runs.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 89 balls

    Wareham c&b Morris 1 (Superchargers 96-6)

    It's another!

    Georgia Wareham goes for a big heave back over the bowler's head but Fi Morris times her jump to perfection to claim a brilliant caught and bowled chance!

  5. Superchargers 93-5published at 85 balls

    Georgia Wareham is the new batter. This Superchargers innings is starting to unravel.

  6. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 85 balls

    Heath run out 0 (Superchargers 93-5)

    It's two in two!

    New batter Bess Heath attempts a single with her first ball after a push into the covers, but Ami Campbell - on for the injured Sophie Ecclestone - fields and throws down the stumps!

    Brilliant fielding.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 84 balls

    Davidson-Richards c George b Bryce 27 (Superchargers 93-4)

    She takes the catch this time though!

    It is an almost identical shot from Alice Davidson-Richards to exactly the same area of the field, but this time Katie George holds onto the ball!

    Huge let off for Superchargers.

    Alice Davidson-Richards heaves the ball towards Katie George on the deep mid-wicket boundary but she spills the catch. George didn't really have to move, that should have been taken.

  9. Superchargers 86-3published at 75 balls

    Here we go. Alice Davidson-Richards smashes Amanda-Jade Wellington over mid-wicket for a welcome boundary for Superchargers.

    Davidson-Richards repeats the trick with the final ball of the set, sweeping powerfully through square leg.

  10. Superchargers 76-3published at 70 balls

    Originals have put the squeeze on, it is 15 balls without a boundary now for Superchargers.

    Hollie Armitage and Alice Davidson-Richards are pretty well set, so now might be the time to put the foot down.

    If you are a left-arm seamer, dismissals do not get much better than this.

  12. Superchargers 72-3published at 65 balls

    With no Sophie Ecclestone on the field, off-spinner Emma Lamb may have to take on some more responsibility and she has risen to the challenge. She is 0-9 from her 10 balls so far.

  13. Superchargers 67-3published at 60 balls

    Not only is it dry at Old Trafford but the sun has come out! Heady days indeed.

    We have seen a shot of some people in the crowd huddled round mobile phones, must be checking out this BBC live text page...

    Anyway, back on the field and Hollie Armitage is looking in good touch. She is 30 from 27 balls.

  14. Superchargers 54-3published at 50 balls

    Hollie Armitage and Alice Davidson-Richards have calmed things down a bit as Superchargers reach 54-3 at the halfway stage.

    We have just seen a shot of a rather glum looking Sophie Ecclestone in the Originals dressing with a compression bandage and some ice on her calf. Not good.

    Ellie Threlkeld has taken over on-field captaincy duties in her absence.

  15. Superchargers 46-3published at 40 balls

    Well then. we have just seen a Hawk-Eye replay of that Jemimah Rodrigues dismissal and it showed the ball was going on to miss the stumps.

    There were also some groans among the crowd at Old Trafford a few moments ago. Bad news from elsewhere it seems...

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 35 balls

    Rodrigues lbw b Wellington 13 (Superchargers 45-3)

    Big wicket!

    Jemimah Rodrigues miss a big sweep off Amanda-Jade Wellington and the ball hits her lower back bang in front.

    Rodrigues has a quick chat with Hollie Armitage about a possible review but decides against it.

  17. Superchargers 42-2published at 30 balls

    Sophie Ecclestone is able to continue to bowl the rest of the set but she does not look comfortable at all and goes off the field for more treatment.

    A big blow for Originals.

  18. Superchargers 39-2published at 27 balls

    Oh dear. Sophie Ecclestone comes into the attack but after bowling two deliveries grimaces and then goes down on her launches in pain. It is possibly a back injury.

    A timeout has been called so the physio can come out and take a look.

  19. Superchargers 30-2published at 25 balls

    Sensational! Hollie Armitage leaps onto an overpitched delivery from Mahika Gaur and plays a textbook drive through the covers.

    She then repeats the trick to end an expansive set from Gaur. Perfect technique from the skipper.

  20. Superchargers 22-2published at 20 balls

    More classy stuff from Jemimah Rodrigues as she clatters Phoebe Graham for two boundaries. She is looking in great touch.
