on the back foot, and belted out to deep cover, at the precise moment as Spain hoist the World Cup aloft down in Sydney. Symmetry of sorts as the two matches conclude simultaneously. It was close to the fielder at short cover, but she couldn't gather

1.41pm So, that's your lot for now. Plenty more Hundred action to come, starting with the men's version of this contest, coming up shortly. But from Miller and Chandan, thanks for joining us, for an unlikely double-header!
Kathyrn Bryce is the Match Hero at Old Trafford. "We had a tough start with rained-off games and close losses, so wanted a good couple of performances to finish the competition. It was holding up in the pitch and getting some turn so those change-ups were important."
1.37pm Well, they made a meal of that, but Originals hobbled over the line with one ball to spare after a fighting finish from Superchargers. Not quite the scenes of triumph and disaster that are on show Down Under right now, but notable in its own right. Not least because Superchargers miss their chance to lose in on top spot and automatic qualification for the final.
Here is the report of the action at Sydney.

Higham to Wellington, OUT
bottom-handed thwack to the on-side, they take on the arm of Litchfield at midwicket and lose! An accurate shy back at the keeper who flicks off the bails with no-one in the frame!

Higham to Ecclestone, 1 run
flicked on the up, over the leg side, and there's chaos as Ecclestone forgets she has a runner! An easy two becomes a shambolic one... shades of Ian Healy and Dean Jones in 1989!
96
W
Higham to Bryce, OUT
pinned lbw! Attempted reverse-sweep as Higham straightens one from round the wicket, and though Bryce is unimpressed that's pretty plumb. Pitched leg, would have hit leg. Life yet for Superchargers!
