    Eve Jones hasn't even faced a ball yet.

  2. Phoenix 24-1

    Well, Jones is winning it at the moment. She takes two more fours and Phoenix are quite literally dealing in boundaries.

  3. Phoenix 16-1

    And another four to Amy Jones, this time whipped through the leg side from Beth Langston's first ball.

    These two are best friends, so it'll be interesting to see who gets the bragging rights.

  4. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    She got the crucial wicket but that's not a great end to the set of five, too much width offered.

  5. Phoenix 12-1

    What a shot from Amy Jones first up - crashed through the off side for four.

    That first five balls had everything - three boundaries and a wicket.

  6. New batter: Amy Jones

    It's a massive wicket - Verma is so destructive and can clear the ropes. It was a bit of a nothing delivery. An absolute bonus wicket to get the big one out early.

  8. Alison Mitchell
    Commentator on BBC Two

    That's a huge wicket. A boundary, a boundary and then the catch.

    WICKET

    Verma c Davidson-Richards b Moore 8 (Phoenix 8-1)

    Maybe not. Verma wanted three fours in a row, but Alice Davidson-Richards has other ideas. That's a very good catch, diving away to her right.

  10. Phoenix 8-0

    And the second ball goes for four too, this one played with much more conviction - whipped through the leg side. Shafali Verma looks in the mood.

  11. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Two

    Shafali Verma started pretty slowly coming into the tournament but she's now found some form. The best thing about her, apart from her age, is that she's absolutely fearless. She's happy to take on any bowler and looks to clear the rope.

  12. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    It's now or never. Don't leave it in the nets - you need to give it all on the pitch to reach the final.

  13. Phoenix 4-0

    Kalea Moore, the young spin bowler, starts things off for the Superchargers.

    And it's a wild swing from Shafali Verma first ball that flies off the edge for four!

  14. Opening batters: Shafali Verma and Eve Jones

  15. Here we go then. Winner takes all ...

  16. Sam Billings' Oval Invincibles crashed out of the men's Hundred last night, and he has been on Twitter this morning saying how much he has enjoyed the tournament.

    Jemimah Rodrigues has just lit this tournament up. She's a small player but she hits the ball a long way.

  18. There are some key players in action today in terms of the tournament's Most Valuable player (MVP) rankings. Superchargers' Jemimah Rodrigues is currently still topping the run-scoring tables in the women's competition, while Phoenix's Kirstie Gordon is the fourth-highest wicket-taker.

  19. The teams

    Northern Superchargers: Lauren Winfield-Hill (capt, wk), Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Wolvaardt, Laura Kimmince, Hollie Armitage, Alice Davidson-Richards, Beth Langston, Linsey Smith, Kalea Moore, Liz Russell, Katie Levick.

    Birmingham Phoenix: Shafali Verma, Evelyn Jones, Amy Jones (capt, wk), Katie Mack, Erin Burns, Gwen Davies, Emily Arlott, Issy Wong, Phoebe Franklin, Kirstie Gordon, Abtaha Maqsood.

  20. Northern Superchargers win the toss and choose to bowl

    It's looking rather grey and cloudy in Leeds today which probably influenced this decision from Lauren Winfield-Hill - overcast conditions could make the ball move in the air a bit more, and if it rains, could make it harder for batters to refocus if they have to come on and off the pitch.
