4:07pm A stop-start innings that was in danger of completely imploding through the middle. But Arlott and Kalis then put together a record seventh-wicket stand to ensure that the Phoenix have something to bowl at. Prior to that, Voll thrilled for a brief patch, as did Kelly, but that was followed by a spell of self-destructive batting.

The Superchargers, given they had the Phoenix reeling at 59-6 at one point, will feel they gave away a few too many towards the end. That said, had you given the Superchargers this score, on a true batting deck before the game, they would have probably taken it. Smith was the best of the lot, with Higham also bagging a couple of wickets, and they will now be fancying their chances of chasing this down. Join us in a bit for the second innings!

Linsey Smith: (On how she is feeling after her performance) Happy. Only half the job done, hopefully the batters can make use of the new ball (and chase it down). There is a lot of stuff at the death I am working on. Today, set the tone quite well. For me, I try and keep the stumps in play as much as possible. Me and Hollie had a chat, and trying to make them sweep. Few of their batters like to access the area over extra. If you can try and make the batters make a mistake, you are doing well. (On the pitch) It is pretty nice. It started off nice with the hard ball, and hopefully are batters can take advantage of that.

Cross to Arlott, 2 runs, another top yorker. Right under the bat on off stump and Arlott can only clink it towards long on. Kalis puts on her stakes and makes it back for the second as the Phoenix finish with 116!

Cross to Kalis, 1 run, speared in well outside leg, having seen Kalis back away. She tucks it off her pads towards deep square leg and has to settle for a single
