Superchargers chasing 117 after Phoenix's 116-6
Visitors lose 5-15 in the middle
Phoenix win the toss and bat at Headingley
88 runs needed
Megan Schutt finishes the final set of the powerplay and conceded just two runs.
There was an unconvincing shot from Superchargers batter Alice Davidson-Richards during that set - the less said about it, the better!
90 runs needed
A good start from Em Arlott, who gives away just two runs and takes a wicket in her first set of five.
But Phoenix still have plenty of work to do here to avoid a defeat.

Davina Perrin has scored 65% of her runs in this year’s competition through the offside. Of the seven players to have scored over 100 runs in the competition she is the only player to have scored over half of her runs on the offside.

I feel like Davina Perrin didn't go through with it. Perrin almost got a leading edge, and she tried to flick it too square. She has to depart for 14 as Phoebe Litchfield strides out to the middle.
Perrin c Kalis b Arlott 14 (Superchargers 27-1)
Ellyse Perry turns to Em Arlott next and the England pacer strikes!
Davina Perrin looked to be in good nick but splices one and it's a comfortable catch for Sterre Kalis.

The Phoenix are looking flat in the field. A bit of energy could create something.
That was a superb shot by Alice Davidson-Richards. She waited for impact hitting through the line and straight through extra cover.
No chance of stopping that.
92 runs needed
Phoenix captain Ellyse Perry takes the ball now but there's more runs for the Superchargers.
She gets a harsh welcome from Alice Davidson-Richards, who opens her account by slicing one over backward point to the boundary and then drives one through extra cover for the same result.
A rapid start from the Superchargers. Not what the Phoenix would have wanted.

That is a shot of authority from Davina Perrin.
A couple of steps down the track and lobs it over the head of mid-on.
Once bounce, and four. Fantastic by Perrin.
101 runs needed
Megan Schutt's second set, however, is an expensive one!
Her third ball misses everyone and runs away to the rope for four byes.
And then, Davina Perrin dances down the track to dispatch Schutt's final ball through mid-on for the second boundary of the set. That was a brilliant shot.
111 runs needed
Megan Schutt will be disappointed not have made an early breakthrough here for the Phoenix.
But she ends the first set after bowling four dots, with the other being the missed chance off Davina Perrin.

It wasn't down Hannah Baker's throat, but she got herself in a pretty good position.

Hannah Baker was a good five yards in front of the boundary.
Davina Perrin just managed to hook one over her. I feel like Perrin is giving herself room to hit one through the off-side.
111 runs needed
Megan Schutt's third ball of the set is a short one and it's hooked away by Davina Perrin.
Hannah Baker gets under it near the boundary but can only parry it over the rope for the first maximum of the innings.

You have to go with the mindset that you're going to field out of your skin and make each run hard to come by for these batters.
117 runs needed
Megan Schutt opens the bowling for Phoenix.
Her first delivery nips back in a little and is defended towards the offside by Davina Perrin.
Superchargers openers Alice Davidson-Richards and Davina Perrin emerged through the fireworks and are making their way to the middle.
We are moments away from getting this chase under way.
Northern Superchargers' Linsey Smith: "Happy. Obviously, only half the job is done, and hopefully the batters can make use of the new ball and chase it up.
"Obviously, there is a lot of stuff at the death that I am working on. Today I set the tone quite well.
"It is pretty nice [the wicket] and they started off nice with the hard ball and hopefully our batters can take advantage of that."

Flintoff, 17, was signed in the wildcard draft by his dad Andrew’s franchise last month but has not featured in any of the Superchargers’ first three matches.
The Superchargers say he has an injury, although have not given any further details which states how long it will keep him out.

With England's other all-format players rested, all-rounder Bethell, who has had limited playing time this summer, will take on the leadership for three T20s in Dublin.
Monty Bowden was 23 years old and 144 days when he led England in a Test against South Africa in 1889, and to date he remains the youngest man to have captained England in an international.
Prior to the Ireland tour, a full-strength England will play three one-day internationals and three T20s against South Africa, and Hampshire bowler Sonny Baker has been given a first call-up.
But before we turn our focus to the Superchargers' run chase, let's take a look at the big breaking news from the world of cricket.
