5.40 pm Well if that's not a demolition, I don't know what is. The Shafali Verma-Eve Jones juggernaut absolutely obliterates the Welsh Fire bowling unit. An unbeaten 131-run partnership between them clinches the match with 24 balls to spare.

Match Hero today is Shafali Verma: "That was so nice, so good for me. I was not doing good for the team but I backed myself and played my game. I was slowing down because of [Eve Jones'] fifty. I enjoy the team. They are so nice. I'm still learning in every match."

Fingers crossed the skies are able to stay dry, if not clear, to allow the full doubleheader to be completed. That's it from the Women's Hundred coverage today. Flip over to the men's match scorecard feed for coverage of that game starting shortly.

Matthews to Shafali Verma, FOUR, Verma puts an exclamation point on her innings! Full on off stump, whips this flat over wide midwicket, one bounce over the rope. Phoenix steamroll the Fire!

Hennessy to E Jones, FOUR, full on sixth stump, enough width for Jones to flay this high over extra cover. 50 up for Jones off 32 balls. She's been no slouch in this partnership despite Verma blazing to her 50 first.
