- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.2 Quality stuff from Levick, sticking to her guns and trying to spin it, plenty of revs on the ball, slightly shorter and turning away from off, she backs away, trying to slap it over point but it goes straight into the hands of Smale inside the ring 145/73.3 Oh, that's a stunning inswinging yorker right into the blockhole, she somehow manages to squeeze it out to the off side and the ball dies down quickly, excellent pick-up from Amy Jones who removes the stumps at the speed of light. Woman in form departs early in the piece, terrible botch-up, there was no need for that run but she went instinctively for it and fell short, excellent piece of work behind the stumps 25/15.5 One big shot too many, her ebullience lasted 10 deliveries but was an entertaining knock it was, reminds me of Shahid Afridi. Just tried to launch it downtown but found fielder running across from mid-off, didn't get the middle on this occasion, has to go back to the hut, Phoenix will be relieved to see the back of her. 52/211.5 Holes out to long-on! Missed out on a creamy yummy full-toss! She'll be livid with herself, eyes got lit up when she saw that full-toss and she manages to spank it straight into the hands of Perry who pouches it comfortably, what a massive breakthrough, she was looking to tee off and lost the wicket at wrong time! 96/317.2 Slowish back of a length delivery wide of off, inverses her stance to biff it behind square, ends up giving a regulation catch to Jones who hangs onto it brilliantly. Didn't give her the pace she was looking for, an off-cutter 138/417.4 Pace-off fuller one outside off, swung straight into the hands of long-off, Perry charges in, makes fantastic ground and dives forward to take a sprawling catch. Tough catch but she made it look easy, tracked it from the bat, into the air and then in her hands 138/519.1 Tossed up beautifully on a nagging off-stump line, spins away just enough to beat her ambitious lofted cover-drive and Amy Jones does the rest, removes the zingers in a flash 143/619.5 She is a wily customer! Sashayed across her stumps and tugs it away to deep midwicket, scampering back for a brace, Munro is short of her crease and Jones is so quick, removes the zingers in a flash and Phoenix have made a fabulous recovering in the last stage of the innings, lower middle-order couldn't do much in the end but still they'd be happy with the total 147/919.3 Belted into the covers, quick pick-up and hits the bull's eye at non-striker's end, losing wickets in clumps, not the way they'd like to end the innings, rather anticlimactic end 145/8Extras18 (lb 5, nb 2, w 11)TOTAL147/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35 per 6 ball)Did not bat: TG NorrisFall of wickets: 1-25 (Georgia Redmayne, 3.3 ov), 2-52 (Cordelia Griffith, 5.5 ov), 3-96 (Heather Knight, 11.5 ov), 4-138 (Danielle Gibson, 17.2 ov), 5-138 (Erin Burns, 17.4 ov), 6-143 (Sarah Glenn, 19.1 ov), 7-145 (Meg Lanning, 19.2 ov), 8-145 (Eva Gray, 19.3 ov), 9-147 (Charlie Dean, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Premeditates a flick into the leg side with an advance, ball spins into middle and bounces steeply, she balloons it up and might have been short of her crease while trying it scramble in desperation, third ump will check for stumping as well as lbw. Bat has not been grounded. Sharp work from Redmayne, keeping standards have been very high in this competition so far 27/20.4 Clattered her stumps with a magnificent thunderbolt! Beautifully set her up with a big booming inswinger, she tried to loft her over mid-on and left a big gap, ball sneaks through and rattle the stumps, Norris wheels away in jubilation! 3/118.4 Full-toss swatted in the air and it hung for a while, that was purposefully tossed up and she took the bait to go big down the ground, not much elevation and the required distance, falling apart quickly 117/418.1 Skedaddles down the track trying to plonk it over midwicket and gets beaten by the late away movement, keeper whips off the bails in a flash and she has to take the long walk back to the pavillion 116/318.5 Swings big but doesn't control her bat swing at and fielder at long-off takes a brilliant catch, skipped down the track and went hard but did't get all of it, Gray didn't have to move much to gobble it up. 117/5Extras6 (b 2, lb 1, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL127/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Sterre Kalis, 0.4 ov), 2-27 (Suzie Bates, 5.4 ov), 3-116 (Sophie Devine, 18.1 ov), 4-117 (Ellyse Perry, 18.4 ov), 5-117 (Emily Arlott, 18.5 ov)
