4.40pm So, Brave pile on 136 for 5 off their 100 balls. I must say, I feel that's a bit under-par given the start they had. Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt added 63 runs off the first 42 balls with the former going great guns. But once she fell for a 25-ball 43, things slowed down a touch. Sophie Ecclestone removed Wyatt while Hannah Jones trapped Tahlia McGrath. Sophia Dunkley and Maia Bouchier did put in a good partnership but the bowlers, spinners in particular, were tight with their lines. A 137-run target is till tricky and Originals will have to bat very well to hunt it down. Back in a bit, with Deivarayan Muthu in the driver's seat when we return.
Vaneez Saraswat: "I would have to say this I am just loving this new approach from Mandhana where she is putting team before self and going hard from ball one . We saw this in cwg and now here again . She is certainly a legend in the making."
Here's Dunkley: We started off brilliantly. It slowed up a little bit in the middle. We have the runs on the board and I think we can defend that. [Openers] They take a bit of pressure away from us. [The run out that wasn't]. The unwritten rule is that when Dottin's got the ball, don't run. But happy with what happened.
