  1. Umpire reviewpublished at 95 balls

    A busy day for the third umpire. Kirstie Gordon strikes Nicole Harvey on the pads and she sets off for a leg bye.

    There's a Phoenix appeal by Amy Jones for lbw. Is it missing?

    George run out (Jones/Gordon) 1 (Fire 119-8)

    Great work from Amy Jones behind the stumps who throws down to the non-striker's end after Katie George had set off for a ludicrous single. Kirstie Gordon cool as a cucumber to catch the ball and take the bails off.

    Silly run outs can really cost you as a team.

    Cleary run out (Gordon/Elwiss) 3 (Fire 115-6)

    Piepa Cleary nails one to point and sets off. Kirstie Gordon scoops the ball up and delivers it straight into the hands of Georgia Elwiss who breaks the stumps.

    There was never a single there.

    It is an unusual situation with Amy Jones keeping, standing up to the stumps with her partner Piepa Cleary batting.

    Sarah Taylor will appreciate the glovework there from Amy Jones.

    Taylor st A Jones b E Jones 16 (Fire 106-5)

    The answer is no. A brilliant piece of work behind the stumps by Amy Jones as she takes a ball wide of off stump and has the bails off quick as a flash. Sarah Taylor had tried to get her foot back behind the line but she wasdn't as quick as Phoenix counterpart.

  17. Umpire reviewpublished at 15:57 British Summer Time 9 August 2021

    Amy Jones has whipped off the bails as Sarah Taylor goes for a heave into the leg side off Eve Jones. Did she have something behind the line?

    Lovely touch from Sarah Taylor. She looks like she is really good in terms of being cute and finding those gaps.

  19. Fire 104-4published at 77 balls

    Sarah Taylor's fast hands help her slog sweep Eve Jones for four. The Fire wicketkeeper steps across the crease and gives herself room to whip it the boundary. Classy stuff.
