  1. Umpire review

    Georgia Elwiss looks plumb leg before here to Emma Lamb, but we're going upstairs....

  2. Phoenix 68-5

    Georgia Elwiss off the mark with a single into the legside.

    Big innings now you feel for Amy Jones to try and play from here if her side are going to post a competitive total.

  3. Daniel Norcross
    Cricket commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It's a curious decision to put Eve Jones down at six, when she's more of an anchor. It forces her to play funky shots like that and I don't think she's comfortable doing that.

    E Jones b Lamb 7 (Phoenix 67-5)

    And the pressure tells for Phoenix.

    Eve Jones tries to reverse sweep Emma Lamb but gets that wrong and is bowled.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    Cricket commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That was a nice little move to bring Hartley on there. She only conceded four runs off five balls and it has checked Phoenix's momentum.

  7. Phoenix 67-4

    Not a lot of time to catch your breath here.

    Originals don't hang around in the field and get through it fairly quickly.

    More singles off Emma Lamb for the Jones pair.

  8. Phoenix 65-4

    Alex Hartley back on for her third set of five balls.

    Eve and Amy Jones keep on rotating the strike with singles.

  9. Phoenix 61-4

    Halfway stage of this Phoenix innings.

    Momentum with them after that last set of five balls but before then, it was all about the Originals bowlers.

    Big partnership this though with the Jones'.

    I'm feeling annoyed for Laura Jackson, considering how well she bowled in her first 10 balls.

  11. Phoenix 59-4

    Four more for Amy Jones as again she cuts it to the boundary.

    Crucial gear change this for Phoenix.

  12. Stephan Shemilt
    Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That is a big hit! And some much-needed impetus for Phoenix.

  13. 6 runs

    Phoenix 55-4

    Laura Jackson sends down a full toss above waist height and gives away a no ball and a free hit.

    Amy Jones takes full advantage and pulls it away for the first six of the match into the Party Stand at Old Trafford.

    That delivery cost 10 runs in all.

  14. Stephan Shemilt
    Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    If Phoenix are going to make a score that's anywhere near competitive, you feel Amy Jones will have to do the bulk of the work.

  15. Phoenix 45-4

    Much needed boundary for Phoenix from Amy Jones.

    Cuts Laura Jackson behind square to the rope for four.

  16. Phoenix 41-4

    Kate Cross opts to just bowl another set of five balls from the James Anderson End.

    Runs continuing to be hard to find for Phoenix who are going at less than a run a ball.

  17. Phoenix 40-4

    Eve Jones off the mark with a lofted drive off Kate Cross.

    Like a six iron, it just plugs in the ground on the outfield and hasn't got enough on it to go for four!

    Harsh.

  18. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Technically that is a drop but that is so, so hard to take.

  19. dropped catch

    Dropped catch by Ecclestone

    Phoenix 38-4

    It's almost five wickets down for Phoenix as Sophie Ecclestone gets fingertips to a loose shot from Eve Jones.

    Would've been a terrific grab too.

  20. Stephan Shemilt
    Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I think it was a good decision not to review and that that was going to miss the stumps.
