- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 half-volley, leading edge spoons up to cover and the catch is taken! Phoenix break the opening stand. 36/115.4 gives her the charge, and Levick's legbreak is too good! Tossed up, Smith dances down and is beaten by the turn as she looks to swing down the ground. Good take by Jones, who then whips off the bails before Smith has realised what's happened 114/49.2 knocks her over! NSB looks to give herself room by stepping outside leg stump but the slower ball skids through lowish and crashes into middle and off stump 80/211.2 angling in, struck in front while sweeping but turned down... Phoenix take a review. There's no bat involved and it struck Harman on top of the front pad... crashing into the top of leg stump! Harmanpreet's poor form in the Hundred continues as Rockets are wobbling here 87/318.2 bowled on the reverse! Full and straight, skidding into middle stump 127/519.4 brilliant one-handed take by Jones! Full outside off, throws her hands at it and gets a thick outside edge. Flies through to Jones behind the stumps, who falls to her right and plucks it with her right hand 132/6Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL134/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Lizelle Lee, 4.1 ov), 2-80 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 9.2 ov), 3-87 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 11.2 ov), 4-114 (Bryony Smith, 15.4 ov), 5-127 (Fran Wilson, 18.2 ov), 6-132 (Joanne Gardner, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 inquisitive appeal... given! Drifts in, spin away, and Devine gets a thin outside edge through to Lee! It thumps the keeper in the helmet, but she clings onto the ball as it rebounds off the grille. 51/28.2 missed stumping... but is there a run-out at the bowler's end? Yep, Jones is hardly in the shot! She was beaten in the flight by a legbreak that was sliding down the leg side, and Lee fumbled a difficult stumping chance, seeing the ball late. But Stonehouse charged in to field from short fine leg, threw down the stumps at the non-striker's end and Jones was well short of her ground! Just about sums up the Phoenix's season. 47/116.1 juicy full bunger, hoicked down deep midwicket's throat... but surely that's a no-ball? Nope, Burns had come out of her crease and it was dipping just enough to satisfy the third umpire! The loopy full toss does the trick! 94/317.2 full on leg stump, worked to short fine leg. Smith throws at the bowler's end but Gordon fumbles it! Now they run on the overthrow, and Arlott falls this time! Katherine Sciver-Brunt scampered in from mid-off, threw underarm from close range and hit! Absolute carnage at Trent Bridge which ends in Arlott trudging off 106/4Extras5 (b 2, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL131/4 (20 Overs, RR: 6.55 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Eve Jones, 8.2 ov), 2-51 (Sophie Devine, 9.2 ov), 3-94 (Erin Burns, 16.1 ov), 4-106 (Emily Arlott, 17.2 ov)
