    1.3 Slung fuller and it shapes in at off, arches out and chips it straight into the hands of extra cover; bat turned in her hand and she wasn't fully in control; massive scalp and Rockets know that; loud celebration. 6/1
    18.5 Low full-toss on off, knifes it at cover-point and kept running down the track, single was never on; total chaos out there; fielder hits the bull's eye and Kalis departs 105/6
    2.4 Touch fuller on middle and off, gives herself some room and thwacks it downtown but it sounded awkward and she spoons it straight to mid-off; two wickets down in no time; plenty of smiles out there as Rockets have got off to a superb start. There was a touch of movement as well 9/2
    2.5 Clattered the stumps; tries to improvise and gets too far across off, Sciver-Brunt bowls at a hard length around middle and off; she misses and ends making a mess of her stumps. Brunt celebrates her second breakthrough. She is on a hattrick! 9/3

    18.2 Pace-on zinger at the base of stumps and she can't jam her bat down in time; off-stump uprooted and she has to go. Right into the blockhole and she gets the prized scalp. Smart bowling at death 104/4
    18.3 Two-in-two! Exact same delivery and exact same result! Dreadful death rattle means she has to go back to the pavilion. Remarkable unerring accuracy from Gardner 104/5

    2.3 Drops it a touch short on middle and leg, rocks back and tugs it straight into the hands of deep midwicket, much-needed wicket for Phoenix who can only stay alive by picking wickets at regular intervals; tries to muscle it , swings off her feet but couldn't get the required power and elevation 18/1
    9.1 Over the wicket, snorter of a short ball on middle, she sashayed across her stumps and tried to ramp it up, ends up feathering it to the keeper, rose more than her expectation. Risky shot and she ends up mistiming it. Arlott vivacious after the vital breakthrough 53/3
    3.5 Steps away across her stumps and tries a scoop; miscued it completely and gifts the simplest of the chances to fine leg up in the circle. Wong likes it, arms aloft in celebration, Phoenix right back into the contest. Rockets inviting pressure on themselves, making it tricky. Need a partnership to calm things down 20/2
    14.2 Gets the big fish, didn't want to hold back. Touch fuller and tight at middle and leg, backs away and chips it in the air towards mid-off who takes the easiest of the catches down her throat; a glimmer of hope for Phoenix; agony and elation in one frame. Sciver-Brunt will admonish herself for not being able to finish the game 89/4
    15.2 Botch-up! Follows it up with a full and furious yorker dipping in at middle and leg, props forward to push it down to mid-on and a direct hit at the on-striker's end from Perry sent Gardner packing. Two-in-two! Panic bells ringing, Rockets capitulating even though they only need 20 runs 93/6
    15.1 Over the wicket, pitched short around the line off, hops and tries to swings for the hills, lost her shape and was in no position to lift it over mid-off, ended up miscuing a skier. Pavely takes a cool and calm catch. Absolute joy for Arlott who keeps them alive in the contest; well-directed bumper, steepling bounce 93/5

    17.2 Gone! Stumps askew! Phoenix on the driver's seat now. Dramatic turnaround in a matter of few sets. Back of a length and scudding off the surface, drifts in and beats her ambitious swing towards midwicket, wanted to boom that one, can't fault her choice of shot because they need boundaries, not much batting left now 101/7
