    Ailsa Lister went for the big thwack but instead it was a gentle little arc to the fielder. You see so many of those catches in women's cricket.

    Lister c Stonehouse b Gordon 12 (Phoenix 114-6)

    Kirstie Gordon strikes back.

    Having been reverse-swept for four the previous ball, she gets her revenge on Ailsa Lister, who slogs the ball up in the air for Alexa Stonehouse to take a simple catch at point.

    Marie Kelly's run out is the sixth instance of a Birmingham Phoenix batter being run out in this year's women's competition, only Manchester Originals (nine run outs) have had more. All six other women's sides have had three or fewer run outs.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Emma Lambpublished at 92 balls

    Phoenix 109-5

    The next ball goes for four and brings up Emma Lamb's half-century from 40 balls.

    It's been a lone effort in this struggling Phoenix innings but she's held it together.

    Lamb dropped on 47published at 91 balls

    Phoenix 105-5

    Another life for Emma Lamb!

    It's high in the air, Kirstie Gordon backtracks in her follow-through but can't cling on.

    They scamper two to keep Lamb on strike.

  6. Phoenix 103-5published at 90 balls

    Oh, what a shot!

    Crunched straight out of the middle of the bat of Ailsa Lister, clubbing a short ball from Heather Graham for four which also brings up Phoenix's 100.

    Ash Gardner is a crafty bowler. She seems regulation but then always seems to make something happen.

    Great work from Ash Gardner. Marie Kelly was doing the right thing trying to get back but the direct hit sends her on her way.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 83 balls

    Kelly run out (Gardner) 14 (Phoenix 93-5)

    Gone!

    It's an innocuous dismissal as Kelly wanders out of her crease after dabbing the ball back to Gardner and seeing if she can steal a single, but she's slow to turn back and the Rockets skipper is off-balance as she throws, but still doesn't miss.

    But has she been run out next ball?

    Brilliant piece for athleticism from Ash Gardner, who fields in her follow-through and pulls off a direct hit.

    A beautifully executed sweep from Marie Kelly. It had to be timed and placed perfectly and it was both of those things.

    Alana King really got her skates on there but to ill effect.

    Another much-needed boundary.

    Marie Kelly gets into position early and sweeps Ash Gardner to the ropes.

    Emma Lamb has great technique. She is able to get her head out of the way and weight forward to get herself through her shots.

  14. Phoenix 88-4published at 80 balls

    A boundary!!

    Lovely shot from Emma Lamb, reverse-sweeping Kirstie Gordon for four.

    Gordon then gets away with a filthy full toss, as Lamb looks fuming that she's only able to thump it down the ground for a single.

    20 balls to go and the Phoenix have got to get a move on.

  15. Phoenix 82-4published at 75 balls

    Alana King almost has her second as Lamb skies the last ball of her spell but it plugs safely in the outfield.

    King ends with 1-21.

  16. Not outpublished at 71 balls

    Lamb survives!

    Her foot did lift off the ground for a second but just gets back down in time. Nifty work from the keeper, though.

  17. Umpire reviewpublished at 71 balls

    This looks close.

    Ellie Threlkeld whips off the bails as she thinks she has Emma Lamb stumped.

  18. Phoenix 79-4published at 70 balls

    It's hard to see where the boundaries are going to come from at this stage, as Heather Graham scuttles through for another miserly five balls.

    The Rockets call for their strategic timeout.

    Marie Kelly has been happy to take the singles so far but can she pull out the big shot soon?

  20. Phoenix 74-4published at 65 balls

    Lamb and Kelly are content with just rotating the strike for now.

    Watching Rockets' spinners bowl like this makes you wonder how on earth they haven't progressed further this year.
