  • Phoenix 147-4 - Eve Jones 64, Levick 2-23

  1. Phoenix 54-2published at Ball 35

    Great fielding from Laura Kimmince on the boundary, diving full stretch to prevent an Eve Jones boundary.

    They pick up two, and that's a decent start from bowler Katie Levick, her first five balls going for just four runs.

    That's a class shot. She just threaded it through beautifully and the outfield is rapid.

  3. Phoenix 50-2published at Ball 29

    Shot! Four more to the left handed Eve Jones, smashing it past a despairing dive from the fielder at mid-on.

    Maybe Phoenix know this is a good pitch so they will need a big score.

  5. Phoenix 42-2published at Ball 25

    Well that was an eventful powerplay! Phoenix are probably on top, despite the two wickets, because their scoring has been rapid and Eve Jones, their leading run scorer so far, is still there.

  6. Phoenix 42-2published at Ball 23

    Moore gets lucky as she loops a full toss up that is just asking to be hit for six, but Katie Mack only manages a single.

    Kalea Moore is coming back for another bowl.

    That's a really strong shot. Eve Jones just picked her gap through the off side.

  10. Phoenix 39-2published at Ball 18

    Well, Eve Jones had to wait a while to face her first ball but she joins the party with a beautifully timed boundary through the off side.

    Can she pick up where Amy Jones left off?

    A little bit of luck there for Smith. She bowled a couple of decent deliveries which were whacked for four and then it's the full toss which takes the wicket. Amy Jones will be disappointed there.

    A Jones c Wolvaardt b Smith 24 (Phoenix 33-2)

    Well that was fun! Amy Jones tries to repeat the shot before, but ends up whacking it straight to the safe hands of Laura Wolvaardt.

    A rapid start, but those two wickets will have annoyed the Phoenix.

    Amy Jones is on fire at the moment. See ball, hit ball.

  15. Phoenix 33-1published at Ball 14

    Well, they went three balls without hitting a four, so this one was coming.

    Amy Jones dances down the pitch and launches it down the ground.

    Eve Jones is the leading run-scorer for Phoenix in this competition.

  17. Phoenix 30-1published at Ball 11

    Eve Jones faces a ball!!!

    And gets a single, so she's off strike again. The way her namesake Amy is hitting them, that's probably a good tactic.

    If you're the Headingley crowd in a must-win game are you even slightly disappointed to see Shafali Verma go early? Probably not.

    They may have lost a key wicket but what a start this is for Phoenix.

  20. Phoenix 29-1published at Ball 10

    Linsey Smith pulls out a stunning dive to stop another certain four from Amy Jones - but there's no stopping the next one which races away to the boundary for - you guessed it - four more.

    What a start!
