Phoenix record first 10-wicket win of The Hundred to avoid early elimination
Verma hits 76 off 42 in thrilling run-chase; Eve Jones makes 52 off 35
Fire 127-9: B Smith 38, Gordon 2-30
Welsh Fire's batters had been watchful to Abtaha Maqsood but Bryony Smith releases the pressure. She uses her feet well, advances down the pitch, and biffs it over long-on for a maximum. A lot of bottom hand in that shot.
Here's that drop by Erin Burns earlier. Bryony Smith is still there on 27 off 29 balls.
The Right Prescription was the name of Karl Kennedy's band in Neighbours, I think?
Georgia Redmayne, a qualified medical doctor, is given the right prescription by Phoebe Franklin (apologies) after she gets on top of a slightly wider one and punches it through point for four.

Bryony Smith has got off to some really great starts this summer. The biggest thing for her is to go on and make match-winning scores. That has been the only thing she has lacked this summer.
Erin Burns hustles through a very tidy set indeed with just one run taken from it.

My back is getting there. It is great to be off the sofa.
England fast bowler Olly Stone has just given a brief update on his fitness on commentary. He's been out with a stress fracture of the back. We're unlikely to see him in action again until next year.
A no-ball from Abtaha Maqsood but Georgia Redmayne's attempted reverse sweep on the free hit only brings her a single. A solid start from Welsh Fire with the bat.

Maqsood seems to have a knack of picking up wickets. Spin looks the way to go in this innings. Matthews will be wondering why she didn't smack it into the leg side.

Filthy shot. What a way to go.
Matthews c Arlott b Maqsood 13 (Fire 36-1)
Hayley Matthews almost caught in two minds to a delivery held back by spinner Abtaha Maqsood and she ends up tamely chipping the ball off the toe of the bat into the hands of Emily Arlott at mid-off.
Bryony Smith top edges a sweep off Kirstie Gordon, but the ball thuds into the outfield square of the wicket safely.
A couple of balls later and a goregous couple of shots from Hayley Matthews. First she times the ball brilliantly with a drive off the back foot. A ball later it's all power as she muscles one down the ground.

Hayley Matthews gets herself up and running with a powerful cover drive for four off the penultimate ball of an expensive set from Georgia Elwiss.
Bryony Smith had earlier whacked her straight down the ground off the first ball of that set for a boundary.
Not the best start from Phoenix with the ball.

Emily Arlott sends down a half tracker to Bryony Smith who quickly gets over the top of it and pulls it for four.
A steady start from Hayley Matthews, who has one from five balls.

It was a surprise to see Emily Arlott in the team ahead of Issy Wong, I must admit.
A bit of seam now for Pheonix with Emily Arlott into the attack.

In T20 they say if you lose three wickets in the powerplay, you don't win matches, and it's similar in this format I think.
