- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 middle stump out of the ground, and Cross has two! Fullish on middle and leg, and this seems to nip in just a smidgen. Mooney wants to flick this away through mid wicket but the late movement does for her. Swishes at thin air and sees her middle stump in a mess soon after. The Originals in a spot of bother early! 22/22.1 nicked and gone! Length ball in the fifth stump channel and this seems to leave the batter late. Bryce goes feeling for it tentatively away from her body and only manages to feather it through to the keeper. Perfect start for Cross, and the Superchargers have something to show for their early pressure! 8/111.3 straight to extra cover, and Kerr has to go! This is a proper tempter. Tossed up, full and wide. Kerr throws the plumbing at it, looking to go over extra cover, but does not get under it enough. Slaps it flat and she could not have picked out Armitage better. Kerr is disappointed as she walks off; the Superchargers, anything but! 51/312.4 goes straight up, and Sutherland is never going to drop that! Seems like a change-up, on a back of a length on middle and leg. Smale swings her blade like an axe but does not get the timing she is after. A bit of a shank towards long on and Sutherland, running in, makes no mistake whatsoever! 58/416.3 holes out to deep mid wicket, and Sutherland is on the board! Change-up bowled into the track, and Ecclestone's eyes light up. She swings at it with all her might and gets a good connection too. Not a good enough connection, however, and Litchfield, stood right on the fence, takes a smart overhead catch. Ecclestone is fuming as she storms off, and that is a vital wicket at this stage! 86/5Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL117/5 (20 Overs, RR: 5.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Kathryn Bryce, 2.1 ov), 2-22 (Beth Mooney, 4.4 ov), 3-51 (Amelia Kerr, 11.3 ov), 4-58 (Seren Smale, 12.4 ov), 5-86 (Sophie Ecclestone, 16.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 soft, soft dismissal, and the pressure tells on Perrin! This is pushed in fuller on leg stump, and seems to curve back in slightly. Perrin, looking to go downtown, miscues it completely, with the bat face also closing upon impact. Ecclestone settles under it at mid on and does the rest! 11/114.2 deceived in flight, and stumped by a mile! Hangs this up on a length, and the ball seems to drop on ADR late. She skips down but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Has a hack at it anyway, and misses, with Mooney moving to the leg side and doing the rest. The Originals still in this! 85/312.1 oh, what a catch that is! Fi Morris plucks this out of the air, and Litchfield has to depart! Shortish and slanting into the hips. Litchfield creates room for herself and swings it away powerfully towards deep backward square leg. Morris, running to her right, seems to over-run it initially but then somehow, while jumping, she gets her hands in the right place near her shoulder to take it reverse-cupped. Not sure she will be able to manage it again even if she tried, but that is a massive breakthrough for the hosts! 75/215.2 oh dear - almost a very bad collision, but Morris emerges from it with the ball in her hands! Fizzed in full on the stumps. Sutherland has a swipe across the line and skies it. Morris runs in from deep mid wicket, and she does so as Monaghan (from mid wicket) runs back from inside the ring. Both collide a little but Morris, somehow, keeps the ball under her grasp. That could have been very nasty, but in the end, the Originals have another big wicket! 90/416.1 does her all ends up, and Armitage is outta here! Googly tossed up on a length wide outside off. The ball drops devilishly and Armitage is a mile away from the pitch of the ball. Swings like a rusty gate irrespective and misses the ball by a fair margin, with her stumps being rattled soon after. The Originals are right in this now! 92/518.3 is that a plane, is that a bird? No, it is Deandra Dottin flying through the air! Slanted in full on middle and leg. Heath looks for the reverse-swat over the off-side ring but cloths it a little. That brings Dottin into play at extra cover and she tracks the ball all the way before flying to her left. Almost horizontal to the ground when she takes it with both hands, and that moment of fielding genius could win the Originals this contest! 106/619.3 in the air, and taken by Bryce! Filer takes out Cross, and this is another body blow for the Superchargers! Hard length, tailing back into middle and leg. Skips off the surface too and that rushes Cross on her attempted lofted stroke. Cloths it badly and Bryce, running back from mid on, gobbles up the chance! 110/7Extras11 (b 1, lb 4, w 6)TOTAL112/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Davina Perrin, 2.4 ov), 2-75 (Phoebe Litchfield, 12.1 ov), 3-85 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 14.2 ov), 4-90 (Annabel Sutherland, 15.2 ov), 5-92 (Hollie Armitage, 16.1 ov), 6-106 (Bess Heath, 18.3 ov), 7-110 (Kate Cross, 19.3 ov)
