Phoenix fall short despite Lister's late cameo (33 off 18) - report
Wellington takes two wickets and executes brilliant run-out
Invincibles hit third-highest score in Women's Hundred history
Capsey's brilliant 52 off 29 balls the standout
Lanning (36) & Winfield-Hill (33) lay great platform
61 runs needed
Handy shot from Amy Jones, setting herself early to Tash Farrant's final delivery, standing tall and reverse hitting the ball to the point boundary.
Regardless, the required run-rate is now above three a ball.

Manchester Originals scored 69 off the last 25 balls to register the highest successful run chase in the Women's Hundred back in 2022...
69 runs needed
Only one more single off the remaining two balls of the set.
We're closing on a required run-rate of three runs a ball.

The two Birmingham Phoenix batters will just be telling each other to keep going hard and see what happens after the next five to 10 balls.
They will be wanting to see if can get themselves another 25 runs from the next 10 balls, that's 2.5 per delivery which isn't easy.
Phoenix 105-4
Just short of the fielder at mid-off.
Ailsa Lister cracks Ryana MacDonald-Gay out there, replays show the ball dying just short of the fingertips.

Interestingly spinners have averaged 2.8° of turn on today's pitch, the highest for a Women's Hundred game here.

That was a huge shot into the crowd from Ailsa Lister!
It was just back of the length from Sophia Smale, who actually spoke her captain for a long period of time before that ball and decided to go into the pitch to try and get hit square. Lister gets underneath it though and lofts it into mid-wicket for six.
Phoenix have been restricted to scoring their runs down the ground today, which shows how disciplined the Invincibles' bowlers have been.

73 runs needed
Six now for Ailsa Lister!
She cracks Sophia Smale's third ball over the ropes at mid-wicket to bring up the Phoenix hundred.
They'll need a fair few more of them.

I'm very suspicious about this win predictor because I would say it is 99% Oval Invincibles' win at this stage, to be completely honest, not 96%.
82 runs needed
Ailsa Lister picks up her first four, lashing Tash Farrant through the covers.
The Scotland international has scores of 21* and 1 in the last two matches.
91 runs needed
Ailsa Lister comes to the crease but won't face the last ball of Wellington's set.
Amy Jones tips a single to mid-on to retain the strike as we change ends.

Look at that work from Amanda-Jade Wellington. It wasn't a good throw from the deep but she put the work in to pick it up and hit the stumps.
Great work from her - she will be well chuffed with that! There might've been a little bit of luck, but it came from exceptional work as well.
Lamb run out (Wellington) 2 (Phoenix 83-4)
Tipped onto the stumps!
Amy Jones knocks Amanda Jade-Wellington out to mid-wicket, takes the first run and heads off for a second as the throw comes in.
It's a bad one and Wellington has to drop back a fair way from the stumps to collect, but she relays impressively to beat Emma Lamb's return to the non-striker's end.
A difficult innings comes to an end from the opener, she scored 25 from 19 when Phoenix needed some big hitting up top.

There was just a little bit of turn in the wicket there as well from Amanda-Jade Wellington. She has used the pitch really nicely there.
She was slightly too full with the ball before that was hit down the ground for six, but she managed to drag her length back.
Ellyse Perry was just starting to get going, so it's not looking great for Birmingham Phoenix.
95 runs needed
England's Amy Jones walks to the crease with a lot to do.
She can't score off Wellington's last two deliveries - she might get another go as the spinner will take five more balls.
Perry c Winfield-Hill b Wellington 29 (Phoenix 80-2)

Ellyse Perry lifts Amanda-Jade Wellington over long-off for the first boundary clearance of the innings, but goes from the following delivery.
A bit of a feather to Lauren Winfield-Hill standing up behind the stumps and up goes the umpire's finger in a rather slow, dramatic fashion.
Captain catches captain.
Image source, Cricviz103 runs needed
Birmingham Phoenix desperately need boundaries but can't pick up any off Marizanne Kapp's final set.
The best they can do is an Ellyse Perry shot out to the point boundary, with the ball cut-off on the ropes.
More than two runs a ball required, meanwhile Kapp finishes with figures of 1-22.
