There was a lot riding on this game, and you could feel the tension on the field. No team was ready to give up, but Phoenix fell short of a safe score, which hurt them towards the end. Rockets stay alive and will hope that the remaining results go in their favor, while it marks the end of Phoenix's journey in this year's Hundred. Emily Arlott bowled her heart out and gave Rockets a massive scare towards the end; she's a dexterous bowler who reads the game well and often outsmarts batters. Nat Sciver-Brunt, the highest run-scorer in the Women's Hundred, delivered the goods again with a 35-run knock and 2/16 with the ball earlier--a consistent and reliable vital cog in Rockets' camp. She got out at a critical juncture, which allowed Phoenix to turn the screw and they nearly eked out a win. Yes, that no-ball in the penultimate set was one of those decisions that could have gone either way and did deflate Phoenix in this tight game. Earlier, Ellyse Perry got out for five, and Sterre Kalis anchored the innings with a gritty 47. Richa Ghosh prevented a further slide with a 41, but nobody else reached double figures, and they lacked a fiery finish, just as they had lacked a blazing start during the powerplay. Alexa Stonehouse was brilliant with the new ball, Nat Sciver-Brunt did what she does best with the ball (buffet of variations in her spell), and Ashleigh Gardner had a terrific outing, picking two wickets in two balls on 92nd and 93rd. In reply, Bryony Smith and Grace Scrivens got off to a decent start but then threw it away; Natasha Wraith got out for one, but then Gardner and Sciver-Brunt joined hands in the resurrection act and broke the back of the chase. Katie George kept her calm, while Josie Groves delivered the coup de grâce with an outstanding shot in the last set to guide her team to the doorstep of victory

That's all from the commentary on this game but there's more action to come as the men's game starts in about 30 minutes. Feel free to switch over to that tab

Arun: "That was dipping for sure. Controversial call."

lunch: "horrible no-ball call, why didn't they take time to decide? it's awful when such things happen in close games. clearly would have dipped below waist in normal position."

lunch: "Don't know how they made that decision so fast, seems ludicrous as the batter walked like 2 metres out of the crease. I definitely think that would have dipped by the time it reached the crease..."
