- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 comes down the track and pays the price. Plays down the wrong line against the turn and the keeper whipped the bails off with her stranded in a different postcode. A difficult innings comes to an end, and the Originals have their first wicket 39/110.1 picks it up and tried to deposit it over the long boundary at square leg. But she's got a leading edge, and the fielder in the deep takes a catch she barely had to move for. Ecclestone has another and Devine departs 52/211.1 tried to sweep but misses, and she's very adjacent! The umpire thinks so too, and the finger goes up. She has not reviewed and the Originals slide further 57/410.3 the keeper's sure Burns has edged this, but Ecclestone's not sure. They will review. And there is an edge! Ecclestone has two in three balls. And three wickets in 8 balls for one run. What a spell! 52/315.3 spins back in sharply and raps her on the back, and the umpire raises his finger. Looked like it could possible have been spinning too much, but she has to go 75/712.5 driven over the top, but she's holed out to long-on. Doesn't nearly have the power to clear the fielder stationed there, and Phoenix lose their fifth 62/514.5 gets a wicket off the final ball. Squared her up and the ball kept slightly low, hitting the pad right in front of middle stump. As plumb as you can get, and Ecclestone continues to clean up 74/617.2 holes out to cow corner! This was crisply struck, but that's a long boundary and she doesn't get enough power on it. Straightforward catch as the Originals tighten their grip on the game 81/819.1 gets a five-fer! Through the gate and knocks back her middle stump! Sensational innings from the Originals, and what a debut this is from Fi Morris. Gets a hug from her captain and leads her side off the field. The Originals need 88 to win 87/1017.5 skids through and knocks back leg stump! Just got nowhere near that shot. Tried to whip it towards the onside but doesn't come close to connecting 83/9Extras4 (b 1, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL87 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 4.53 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Eve Jones, 7.3 ov), 2-52 (Sophie Devine, 10.1 ov), 3-52 (Erin Burns, 10.3 ov), 4-57 (Amy Jones, 11.1 ov), 5-62 (Tess Flintoff, 12.5 ov), 6-74 (Emily Arlott, 14.5 ov), 7-75 (Abigail Freeborn, 15.3 ov), 8-81 (Issy Wong, 17.2 ov), 9-83 (Hannah Baker, 17.5 ov), 10-87 (Charis Pavely, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 and gets a wicket first ball! Squeezed down legside. She gets a tickle off the glove down to the keeper, who takes a sensational catch. She's gone for a golden duck 0/113.1 tried to heave over midwicket but she's trapped in front. Wolvaardt reviews, but unless the spin saves her, she'll be on her way, It's hitting off stump, so that's the end of the South African after a match-winning partnership 69/214.5 the pressure tells, and Campbell holes out to midwicket! Tried to deposit it over that fielder, but can't get the elevation, and Freeborn takes a sharp catch to keep Phoenix just about alive 75/317.5 Dottin's turgid, miserable innings comes to an end. Ecclestone slapped it down the ground, and the bowler got a finger to it. Dottin was hovering outside her crease when the ball hit the stumps, and another wicket falls. 85/515.2 comes down the wicket, steps back and is rapped on the pads. The umpire raises the finger, and because Wolvaardt burned a review, she can't review this! It might have been going down, but that won't save her now 75/4Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL91/5 (19.4 Overs, RR: 4.59 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Emma Lamb, 0.1 ov), 2-69 (Laura Wolvaardt, 13.1 ov), 3-75 (Ami Campbell, 14.5 ov), 4-75 (Fi Morris, 15.2 ov), 5-85 (Deandra Dottin, 17.5 ov)
