- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 rapped on the back thigh pad as Wolvaardt looks to hit over midwicket she's given out lbw! She reviews in hope but replays show it hitting off stump clearly 58/111.3 on off stump, she steps down and looks to clear the ropes down the ground, Shabnim Ismail takes a few steps to her left to swallow the catch just inside the boundary at long-off! Ismail made that look easy she was so calm 62/311.1 and result! Just outside off, her eyes lit up as she charges down the pitch, a big swing and a miss as Sarah Bryce whips off the bails 61/216.5 skids through from outside off and sister dismisses sister! Sarah Bryce with a good catch behind the stumps as Kathryn fences at it and gets and edge 86/612.4 uppish and she goes send it straight to mid-off where Hayley Matthews takes the simplest of catches 72/414.5 drops to one knee, a swipe across the line and she's bang on target as the ball crashes into middle stump! Originals falling in a heap 78/519.5 and Matthews with the catch at long-off!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 big old wind up on the reverse - gone this time! She had to wait and wait, and this time a fat top edge looped straight to short third running in. Taken reverse-cup by Emma Lamb. Originals have the breakthrough at last 65/112.1 slides into the front pad, not given! But Ecclestone reviews off her own bowling. Was this going down leg? Jasmine Naeem certainly thought so... but ball-tracking says it was clattering into leg stump! Up goes the finger second time around and Matthews is gone! Originals chip out two big wickets and the pressure shoots up 66/214.4 walks past one, stumped by a mile! Sarah Bryce realised she needed to hit out or get out, and it's the latter route as Fire stumble further. Morris perhaps saw her coming and looped this up wide of the stumps. Big air shot from Bryce and she didn't bother to turn as Threlkeld did the rest 73/3Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL117/3 (19.1 Overs, RR: 6.09 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (Tammy Beaumont, 10.5 ov), 2-66 (Hayley Matthews, 12.1 ov), 3-73 (Sarah Bryce, 14.4 ov)
