1.44 pm: Right, that brings us to the end of the coverage for the first game of today's double double-header day. The Phoenix vs Rockets men's clash will start soon if you want to hop on over to it. Meanwhile, there's also London Spirit vs Southern Brave in the women's section.
Heather Grahams: Just one of those days, today was my day. I'm glad we got the win. I think at the start of the tournament we though chasing was the right way to go, but the way our batting line-up is (batting first works). We bowled pretty well as well. I'm just doing the basics and if you can do that, more often than not, you'll come off. (The crowds) are really nice. Probably a bit more than we see in the WBBL.
1.40pm: Phoenix were never in the chase apart from the initial few balls when the openers began fast, albeit not always in control. The top order was dismantled quickly after the start, and from then on, it was realistically only a question of what the margin of victory would be. Johnson took 3 for 28, Brunt had 2 for 19. Earlier, Heather Graham's 44* off 21 powered the Rockets innings. Graham got a wicket and two catches too.

Johnson to Maqsood, 1 run, swings a slower ball to deep midwicket, gets a single. And that's that. Rockets win by 11 runs.

W
Johnson to Arlott, 1 run, OUT, this time she's run out going for the second. Full ball on leg, flicked off her toes to deep midwicket. Charging back for the second but this time the throw is pin point and Priest flicks off the bails before Arlott has made her crease
EL Arlott run out 8 (21m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 114.28
19.3
2
Johnson to Arlott, 2 runs, down the track, driven to long-off. They are running back for the second. Not a clean collection by Priest I think, though the batter might have made it anyway
19.2
1
Johnson to Gordon, 1 run, length ball wide outside off, slapped to cover
19.1
4
Johnson to Gordon, FOUR, slower ball, loopy full toss, and she swipes it hard. Deep midwicket and deep square leg converge on the ball, but can't stop it.
Last five balls. 21 needed.
END OF OVER:19 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | BP-W: 125/8 (21 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 6.57, RRR: 21.00)

Brunt to Gordon, no run, slower ball, she is way too early into the pull and the ball goes under bat and to the keeper
