3.45pm: Fine work in the field by the home side, employing the spin-heavy policy that serves Lancashire so well at this venue. Between them, Ecclestone, Lamb and Hartley delivered 60 balls at a cost of 51 runs, rounding up five wickets. This pitch was used for the men's T20I last week, so won't be getting any easier to bat on - but Phoenix will have to crank up the pressure in the field to stay in with a chance. It'll be over to Peter Della Penna for the chase shortly

Here's Emma Lamb: "Enjoyed it a lot, very big ground so good for us spinners on a used wicket. [Big boundaries?] Not something we control, but we ticked most boxes today with the ball and in the field. [Pitch] Think it'll stay similar, spun a little so bear that in mind. Lots of twos. Think we're ahead, we'd have been happy chasing that beforehand."

Cross to Gordon, 1 run, fullish cutter to finish, paddled away to short fine leg who makes a solid stop. So Phoenix manage to bat through, but that looks an under-par total, despite a tired surface

Cross to Gordon, 2 runs, pitched up, 66mph and Maqsood swipes it into the covers... Kaur's throw then bobbles past Cross and they'll steal one more!
