12.12pm: Rockets were 71 for 1 after 40 balls but have only managed 63 for 5 off the last 60. Smith got them off to a brilliant start with the bat but Phoenix's bowlers - Em Arlott in particular - dragged things back well. Rockets desperately need a win but Phoenix have nothing to lose, having already been eliminated... back shortly for the chase.

Arlott is speaking to Sky: "Bry got them off to an absolute flyer. It looked like it was going to be 180-200! A key thing for this year is I've tried not to bowl the same ball twice and keep them guessing. I've tried to take the leg side out of it and gain some sort of control. Nat is just a freak, unbelievable. First ball, I got picked up over fine leg. It's one of those things, I was very lucky I got her out! It was more the pitch than the ball. The last few games haven't gone our way, but I'd like to think we should get to this target..."

Arlott to Gardner, OUT, brilliant one-handed take by Jones! Full outside off, throws her hands at it and gets a thick outside edge. Flies through to Jones behind the stumps, who falls to her right and plucks it with her right hand

Vinod Rajpal: "At one stage ...Rockets were looking to fly at a speed and post a total around 165, now it's difficult to set the target of 140!"
