    It was a fine showing from the Phoenix's two Joneses in that innings. Evelyn made 33 and Amy 42. Here are their run maps...

    Birmingham Phoenix batter Katie Mack on Sky Sports: "We're backing ourselves with that taget, the pressure is on them to chase it.

    "We'd have loved a few more runs but 141 is definitely a tough chase."

    Cheers Matt.

    Well, it looks a good total. But Brave have the firepower to chase it. We could be looking at a thriller here on the south coast.

    Birmingham have to be big favourites after that effort. Verma, Eve Jones, Amy Jones and Katie Mack all made good contributions.

    Will it be enough? Phil Dawkes will take you through the second innings.

    It is still a very good target. It looks very competitive. The third highest total in the women's Hundred. They have some firepower and a lot of batting. But chasing a total like this you have to at really well.

    Lots of confusion at the end as it looks like Amy Jones may be stumped. I didn't see the finger go up.

    Either way, no run was scored and Southern Brave will require 141 to win.

    Danni Wyatt races across the grass to prevent a second run. One ball remains.

    Can Birmingham get one more big hit away?

    Fi Morris will bowl the final five. Two singles to start...

    There were just four runs and two wickets in those five balls. Brave will take that but this is still a good total for Birmingham.

    Burns lbw Shrubsole 0 (Phoenix 135-4)

    Out first ball! A mini fight-back from Southern Brave at the end. England bowler Shrubsole targets the stumps, Aussie Erin Burns misses and the ball hits her pads right in front of the stumps.

    Off she goes.

    It looked very out. But they had to go back for another. It was a good pick-up and a lovely throw. Another wicket but I think Mack has done her job there.

    Mack run out (Dunkley) 31 (Phoenix 135-3)

    Brilliant throw from Sophia Dunkley. Katie Mack tries to sprint a risky two but the throw from the deep has her run out.

    Shrubsole is back for the end-of-innings fun. Amy Jones plays a reverse pull - completely switching herself around to bat left-handed - but fails to connect fully.
