- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 driven and deflected on to the stumps! Johnson's run out backing up! Just a thrash back at the bowler from Priest and Maqsood went down to field, ended up pinballing into the stumps via her boot - and Johnson was well out of her ground. Finally, Phoenix get the breakthrough 46/18.1 slogged straight up, and Arlott steadies herself for the grab! Full length, not sure if it was a cutter or just a miscue from Priest, she was looking to heave the ball leg side, ended up presenting a straightforward return catch. Priest unable to get going this time 55/213.3 is that a missed stumping? No, Jones recovers to beat Sciver's attempt to get back...! Nearly another life for the Rockets captain, as she advanced down to be beaten on the inside. Amy Jones, so reliable behind the stumps, missed it down the leg side but reacted quickly enough to grab the ball and break the stumps with her second go 82/316.4 Brunt's struggle is over, slogged to extra cover! Tried to come down and hit over the top but the bat sliced across it and sent a tame effort to the edge of the ring, simple catch for Gordon 109/418.1 full, straight and given! Wong spears in the leg-stump yorker, and umpire Naeem is happy to raise the finger. No review from Glenn, though it looked a touch leg side. What does Hawk-Eye say? Just clipping! 118/5Extras6 (nb 4, w 2)TOTAL145/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Sammy-Jo Johnson, 6.2 ov), 2-55 (Rachel Priest, 8.1 ov), 3-82 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 13.3 ov), 4-109 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 16.4 ov), 5-118 (Sarah Glenn, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 she's picked out mid-on. Great catch by Sciver. Was coming down the track to biff this, doesn't time it that well, and it's dying on Sciver but she dives forward and grabs it inches off the ground. 29/13.2 castled by the slower ball. Shafali has not looked comfortable against Brunt, backing away every ball, and Brunt sees that and bowls a full yorker out of the back of the hand. Shafali beaten completely and the stumps are rattled. 34/24.3 caught at midwicket. Full ball, she was looking to give herself some room to have a free swing of the arms into the legside, mis-times it completely for a tame catch at midwicket. 36/314.5 goes through her. Looking to step out and whip the ball, and it sneaks under the bat, and rattles stumps. 86/67.2 mid-off takes it above her head. They needed to accelerate, so Burns was looking to go over the top, giving herself room. Wanted to lift it over the in-field but a rather tame shot, and Johnson took it smartly 45/49.3 holes out at long-on. Full on the stumps, she stepped out and looked to loft it over mid-on. Got a bit of height on it but not the distance, and an easy catch at the boundary 58/516.1 full ball, goes for a big swipe, gets it lower on the bat than ideal, gets good elevation but it's staight down the throat of long-on 92/719.4 this time she's run out going for the second. Full ball on leg, flicked off her toes to deep midwicket. Charging back for the second but this time the throw is pin point and Priest flicks off the bails before Arlott has made her crease 133/918.4 Brunt's run to midwicket to grab a caught and bowled. Wong has another almighty swipe at it, gets it off the toe-end and the ball swirls up. Brunt hares after it and takes a very good running catch. 124/8Extras13 (b 2, lb 2, w 9)TOTAL134/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Eve Jones, 2.4 ov), 2-34 (Shafali Verma, 3.2 ov), 3-36 (Amy Jones, 4.3 ov), 4-45 (Erin Burns, 7.2 ov), 5-58 (Gwenan Davies, 9.3 ov), 6-86 (Katie Mack, 14.5 ov), 7-92 (Georgia Elwiss, 16.1 ov), 8-124 (Issy Wong, 18.4 ov), 9-133 (Emily Arlott, 19.4 ov)
