    Superchargers can peg Phoenix back now by grabbing a few more wickets.

    I don't think that's missing much, apart from the middle of middle stump.

    Mack lbw b Levick 14 (Phoenix 90-3)

    Yes they can! Mack goes for a sweep shot, misses and is hit on the pad. There's a quick discussion between the batters about a review but they choose not to and rightly so, that looked so out.

    And now Katie Mack joins the party, whacking Katie Levick to the ropes. Carnage.

    Can the Superchargers get some control back?

    Jones has decided everything must go now. She's looking to hit everything for a boundary.

    And she follows it up with four more. It looks like she's decided this is the time to go for it.

    She cleared that front leg and still managed to hit straight back over the bowler's head. Great power.

    First of the day! What a strike from Eve Jones. She is going for it now.

    I just got a glimpse of Issy Wong in the dugout and, well, wait until you see her hair.

    It looks like she's gone for the Phil Foden.

    Liz Russell is on to bowl for the Superchargers after their timeout.

    Shafali Verma hit her first two balls for four before she was out - and the Superchargers would've been very pleased to see her go.

  13. Phoenix 74-2published at Ball 50

    At the halfway stage, Phoenix are in a very strong position. This could be a pretty big score if Mack and Jones can stay in.

    And on that note, Superchargers call for their strategic timeout.

    That is high class. Jones crashed it away and this partnership is looking very strong now.

  15. Phoenix 72-2published at Ball 46

    Well that's a more convincing boundary - Eve Jones pounces on a short delivery from Kalea Moore and thumps it to the ropes.

  16. Phoenix 68-2published at Ball 45

    Ooh, what's that come off?! Eve Jones gets in an almighty tangle trying to hit Alice Davidson-Richards into the leg-side, but it somehow goes through her legs and past the keeper for four.

  17. Phoenix 64-2published at Ball 44

    Eve Jones and Katie Mack are just ticking things over for the Phoenix at the moment, not taking any risks and just settling in.

    Thanks to Amy Jones' good start though, there's no pressure.

    I think it's level pegging at the moment.

    E Jones 20, Mack 6

    This has been a good spell of bowling for the Superchargers, just restricting the Phoenix from scoring boundaries after their blistering start.

    More things like that in the field can make the difference.
