  1. Phoenix 2-0published at 5 balls

    A strong start from Trent Rockets' left-arm seamer Alexa Stonehouse - her first five balls go for just two runs.

    Her last ball is a full toss, but Georgia Voll found the fielder on the ropes and could only run a single.

    Right then.

    Time to get going, Birmingham Phoenix openers Emma Lamb and Georgia Voll are out in the middle.

    The 22-year-old Voll is playing her first Hundred match after breaking into the Australian side in the last year.

    She is one of six Aussies playing today - they fill all six overseas slots in this match.
