Phoenix might have tightened the screws towards the end of their bowling innings. But their batters have a tall ask in front of them. Back soon with the chase.

4:17pm Fire would be very happy with what they have got but Phoenix would be satisfied to have kept them below 140. Things were really looking good for Fire when Matthews and Beaumont added 72 for the opening wicket with the latter scoring her maiden half-century in the Hundred. They had a solid platform with about 30 balls left. But Phoenix kept the pressure on to deny them the tall score at the end.

Hayley Matthews: "After seeing how the surface played in the first half, we felt a score about 130 should be good. It is a bit slow. All of us have really come together. We spoke about how the first two seasons went and about turning things around. The first two games went differently, hoping to carry around. Ismail likes to run in and bowl fast. My first sunny day in England."

Levick to Davies, OUT, That sounded good off the bat but it is not easy to clear Burns! Tossed up full on middle and leg, Davies slogs it high towards deep midwicket. Burns times her jump perfectly to take it over her head. Fire finish on 137 for 7

FR Davies c Burns b Levick 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Levick to Elwiss, OUT, A slight mix-up between the fielders but Eve Jones hangs on. She had the mid-off fielder in her eyeline as she ran sideways from cover. Elwiss looks to smack the tossed up ball inside out but gets it in the air off the outer half

GA Elwiss c E Jones b Levick 10 (17m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 111.11

An extra fielder in the ring at the start of this set for Phoenix due to an over-rate default
