Brave the clear favourites now. Phoenix need wickets.
Brave 91-2published at 41 balls left
Wyatt really is a class act. She whips one out to a fielder in the deep on the leg side. Always keep the scoreboard moving.
Brave 88-2published at 44 balls left
Oh, glorious. Wyatt makes room and lofts one from Wong to the off side for six. Brilliant stuff.

Wyatt keeps looking for that slap shot through cover. Phoenix are wise to it and have fielders well-placed.

Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat was a great sweep shot by Taylor, knowing exactly where the fielders were.

Will Wyatt take on the role of aggressor now that Dunkley has gone? Or will she share it out with Taylor?
We're halfway through the innings.

Sweep from Taylor brings four. She is more than capable of getting this chase firmly back on track.

Maqsood continues, spinning away and looking to turn this game back in her team's direction.

Big appeal for LBW as Wyatt reverse sweeps. Nothing doing, though.
Now suddenly there is pressure on the Brave.

WICKETpublished at 57 balls left
Dunkley run out 41 (Brave 67-2)
How unlucky can you get?!
Abtaha Maqsood brings leg spin to the party and has a ball smacked back at her by Wyatt. The bowler drops it but deflects the ball on to the stumps to run out Dunkley, who was out of her ground backing up.
So, so cruel. Huge wicket for the Phoenix, though, who will take that bit of luck.

Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraPhoenix have got to get back to simple cricket. Just bowl at the stumps and mix up your pace.

Phoenix have called for the strategic timeout. No surprise. This game is just starting to creep away from them. They need a wicket. How do they get one?

A diving stop by mid-on saves another ball going for four. It is an all-action contest.
