4:11pm And so, the Originals huff and puff their way to 95. They got off to an inauspicious start, losing Bryce very early. Mooney followed soon after, with Dottin also not able to make much headway. Kerr looked promising but a string of wickets thrust Smale into the deep end. She did her best, compiling an unbeaten 40, but at the half-way stage, it does feel that the Originals are a few runs short.

The Brave, meanwhile, will be pleased with that effort. They never let the batters get away, with all of their bowlers chipping in. Corteen-Coleman was the pick of the bowlers, although Villiers and Bell were more successful in terms of wickets. The visitors, at this stage, are favourites, but crazier things have happened in this sport. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Bell to Smale, 2 runs, shortish on middle and off. Smale gives herself ample room and slugs it towards deep mid wicket. Bouchier shuttles around to her left and keeps it to two!

Bell to Gregory, 1 run, dropped - oh dear! Hard length outside off and this seems to stick in the surface. Gregory reaches out for it well in front of her body and shanks it towards long on. Villiers runs in, settles under the high ball but makes a complete hash of it

Bell to Smale, 1 run, slower ball on a length outside off. Smale advances and drives it towards sweeper cover. She wanted two initially but then opted against it at the last moment. Could and should she have taken that risk to get back on strike?

Bell to Smale, FOUR, dispatched! Banged in again but this offers the batter just the width she wants. Smale opens up her front hip, picks it up from around her waist and slams it over mid on!

Bell to Smale, no run, on-pace and dug into the track on middle and leg. Smale backs away, trying to dab it behind point but cannot come to grips with Bell's pace and bounce

Bell to bowl the last set of this innings. Can the Originals somehow get up to 100?

Devine to Gregory, 1 leg bye, right into the blockhole on leg stump. Gregory plays all over it and the ball seems to deflect off her back leg behind point. Might have been going down leg
