  1. Rockets 112-6

    Rockets edge closer with another single.

    12 runs needed.

  2. Rockets 111-6

    13 runs needed from 17 balls

    This is a good test for Em Arlott, given what is to come for her at a World Cup in India.

  3. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That looked like it caught Alana King in the right kidney. Amy Jones looks slightly sheepish but she has no reason to.

  4. Rockets 110-6

    Another dot ball.

    Alana King has been taken out by the throw from Amy Jones too. Jones looks sheepish.

  5. Rockets 110-6

    Need 14 runs from 19 balls

    You can see the increased purpose among the Birmingham Phoenix fielders.

    Their race looked run but now Ellyse Perry is waving her arms to move around fielders.

  6. Rockets 110-6

    Just a single for Alana King, despite being served another full toss and one well wide of off stump. Phoebe Brett finishes with 3-19.

    14 from 20 needed...

  7. Thea Brookes
    Former Birmingham Phoenix all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    An excellent comeback from Phoebe Brett. This is game on now, there's a slip in place.

    This has turned into an excitable game.

  8. 15 runs are still needed as Alana King strides out.

  9. Nikesh Rughani
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Trent Rockets are getting a bit dizzy in this chase.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Threlkeld lbw b Brett 2 (Rockets 109-6)

    Out! It was high-ish but hitting the top of middle and leg.

    Two in the set for Phoebe Brett. Rockets have lost four in 16 balls.

  11. This is a bit high, I reckon. Threlkeld was playing a sweep.

  12. Phoenix review

    Ellie Threlkeld isn't out as well, is she?

    We're going upstairs for an lbw shout.

  13. Thea Brookes
    Former Birmingham Phoenix all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A dirty full toss from Phoebe Brett.

    A safe pair of hands from Ailsa Lister. She went to the ground early but everything is sticking.

  14. Nikesh Rughani
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There may well be a little twist at the end of this game.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Graham c Lister b Brett 3 (Rockets 107-5)

    Caught in the deep! It won't be Heather Graham who finishes this off for the Rockets. She has slapped a full toss from Phoebe Brett straight to deep mid-wicket.

    Batters scoring 1000 T20 runs in women's T20s in a calendar year while averaging 40+ and striking at 140+:

    • Nat Sciver-Brunt, 2023
    • Nat Sciver-Brunt, 2025

  17. Rockets 106-4

    Need 18 runs to win

    So it is over to Heather Graham and Jodi Grewcock to finish the job for Rockets. Grencock is one of those rare commodities - a left-handed batter in the women's game.

    A two to Graham gets the runs required into the teens.

  18. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A sensational knock from Nat Sciver-Brunt. She kept the game moving forward and served some great match-ups against Ellyse Perry.

    She has done well to send positivity to the rest of her camp.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Sciver-Brunt c Schutt b Baker 52 (Rockets 102-4)

    Six and out!

    Nat Sciver-Brunt slaps Hannah Baker straight to the fielder at cover.

    It won't matter, will it? 22 runs are needed.

  20. 6 runs

    50 for Nat Sciver-Brunt

    Over long-off. A fifty from 28 balls for the England skipper.
