4.01pm Well, that was a curious innings. 65 for 1 from 65 balls... and more than doubled in the last 35. Ellyse Perry was magnificent, but Stere Kalis's 48 not out from 42 was perhaps a touch more of an anchor-role than Phoenix needed with wickets in hand. We'll soon see!
In other news, Jason Roy is out of the Men's Hundred, after injuring himself in the field during the MLC. That's a pity. "Rehab already started and will be back ASAP," he says in an Instagram post.
Kalis: "Started off a bit slow, fought back well to a good total. Good to watch Perry from the other end, seeing her smash it, it was an amazing innings. The boundaries are quite big so targeted the smaller one. Good to bat first and have runs on the board. We don't like losing, hopefully we can get on the board."
