- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 thumped back at the bowler! Excellent flight from Molineux, drawing Smith down the pitch, looking to put power through the lack of pace, but it's a leading edge back into the bowler's breadbasket, and the first wicket falls 18/111.4 hacked out to deep midwicket, and straight to Perry's safe hands! A swing to nothing, no harm in putting the hammer down, but can't connect properly, and the second wicket falls 70/212.5 lollipopped to point! The consecutive errors pay dividends for Phoenix, with Sciver staying on strike for the extra delivery, and scuffing a slower ball straight up in the air! 77/313.2 short again, and a fine diving take! Davies at deep square leg, diving forward to the top-edged pull, that was still travelling with some pace and needed to be judged to perfection. It was... 78/415.2 low full toss, and picks out mid-on! She knew the moment she made contact, but in the end Devine had some work to do, reaching high to claw down the offering. This innings isn't quite crescendo-ing... 87/614.2 pace off, through the shot too soon, a looping chance to mid-off. Rockets are fizzling a touch here 85/515.4 another wipe through the line, and that's a stunner from Devine! Another take at mid-on, but this time running back towards long-on, grabbing it to her right as she tracked back to the rope, and commando-rolling to complete the catch. This innings is in free-fall... 88/717.3 another stunning catch! Slogged hard across the line to deep midwicket, that ball was travelling and dipping as Perry rushed in, judged it well, and slid to gather, making it look simple in the process. Huge wicket, was that Rockets' last chance of a 120 target? 100/818.5 plays all round the full length!

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.3 heaved leg side, Devine drops her head... she knows she's not got hold of it, and Alana King completes the job on the boundary! Pace off from Sciver, I think, and Devine's connection wasn't powerful enough. Big breakthrough for Rockets 22/18.4 nicked off! Eve Jones has not got going, and now she's going off to the dressing rooms. Bit of air outside off and it spins, kisses the under-edge through to Freeborn, who holds a good catch 39/2Extras7 (nb 2, w 5)TOTAL117/2 (18.1 Overs, RR: 6.42 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Sophie Devine, 4.3 ov), 2-39 (Eve Jones, 8.4 ov)
