  2. Phoenix 131-2published at Ball 90

    Shot! This might be my favourite of the day from Amy Jones. The England international squats low and scoops a ball from Lauren Bell away to the boundary. Great stuff.

  3. Phoenix 125-2published at Ball 85

    We're back under way with two strokes of luck for Birmingham Phoenix. Jones and then Mack chip the ball into the air. Fortunately for the batters it lands safely on both occasions.

    Amanda-Jade Wellington has bowled very nicely. She's done for the day.

    The first one was difficult chance. But if you get your hand to it you expect to catch it. At this point in time, the Brave could do with a wicket as these two are just running away with it at the moment.

  5. Strategic timeout - Phoenix 120-2published at Ball 82

    Now a stumping chance goes by for Southern Brave. It was another tricky one.

    The hosts want a moment to think things through. They're taking their strategic timeout.

  6. dropped catch

    Amy Jones dropped on 29published at 15:55 British Summer Time 30 July 2021

    That's a tough one for Amanda-Jade Wellington. Amy Jones whacks the ball back at the bowler but she can't hold on.

  7. Phoenix 118-2published at Ball 80

    Phoenix will probably be disappointed if they don't pass the 140 mark now. 20 balls remain in this innings.

  8. Phoenix 115-2published at Ball 76

    This is a hitting contest at the moment. Amy Jones had five balls watching Katie Mack but now facing some of the limelight. Even the speedy Danni Wyatt can't stop this on the boundary.

    There are still 25 balls to go and the way these two are going they can get to that 150 mark. Anything over 140 in this form of cricket is a very good score.

  10. Phoenix 111-2published at Ball 75

    Trent Rockets hit the highest total of the women's tournament yesterday - 151-4.

    After a slow start are we starting to see the batters take control of this new format? Mack plays two perfect shots for four in the air, getting some young fans out of their seats.

    Lovely batting, this.

    What has been most impressive about these two is how well they run between the wickets. They turn ones into twos and that is exactly what you need in the shorter forms of cricket. They have managed to come back well. They are rotating strike.

  12. Phoenix 98-2published at Ball 70

    Anya Shrubsole uses all of her experience to quieten proceedings after that all-action previous over. What can the Phoenix get from here? 135? Maybe even 140?

  13. Phoenix 93-2published at Ball 65

    Ah! Mack is bowled but, given it's a free hit, it does not matter. Still another good over for the Phoenix.

  14. Phoenix 93-2published at Ball 64

    Hello! Stafanie Taylor bowls one at shoulder height and Katie Mack smashes it for four.

    It's a no-ball so the next ball is a free hit...

  15. Phoenix 83-2published at Ball 61

    Katie Mack joins the charge. Four more back down towards the pavilion.

  16. Phoenix 79-2published at Ball 60

    Amy Jones thumps a much needed boundary for the Phoenix. After all of my early complaints about the weather the sun is now out in Southampton.

    Bowler Fi Morris drops short again... Four more! Phoenix are back on the charge.

  17. Phoenix 67-2published at Ball 55

    So from 58-0 after 40 balls Phoenix have been pegged back. Aussie Katie Mack and England international Amy Jones are in the middle.

    20-year-old seamer Lauren Bell returns and after 15 balls has only conceded nine runs.

    Very, very, very well bowled. Trial by spin. Got the ball up and enticed the batters to hit down the ground. It can be a two-paced pitch at times. Did her hook, line and sinker.

    E Jones b Wellington 33 (Phoenix 63-2)

    Bowled! The Jones double act doesn't last long as Eve is bowled by Amanda-Jade Wellington. Jones comes charging down the wicket, misses and is bowled.

    Excellent bowling from the spinner.
