    Katherine Brunt with a rare fumble on the boundary as Issy Wong picks up a rare four. Brunt raises an apologetic hand to bowler Sammy-Jo Johnson.

    Phoenix are really crumbling now.

    WICKET

    Elwiss c Graham b Johnson 16

    Curtains for the Phoenix. Georgia Elwiss was the last batter capable of pulling this off chase but she skies Sammy-Jo Johnson into the hands of Heather Graham down at long-on.

  5. Phoenix 92-6

    The players sat in the Phoenix dugout look all look resigned to defeat. Emily Arlott joins Georgia Elwiss at the crease but with 54 needed off 20 balls the chase looks a forlorn one.

    Any little hope that Phoenix still had, goes with Mack.

    WICKET

    Mack b Glenn 24

    Intelligent bowling by Sarah Glenn. She hangs the ball back and Katie Mack plays all around it and the ball clatters into the stumps.

  10. Phoenix 86-5

    Sarah Glenn is dangling her leg-breaks on an awkward line and at a difficult pace. She drops on short fourth ball, and Georgia Elwiss swings across the line. The ball hangs in the air, but the fielders are unable to get round.

  11. Phoenix 82-5

    The Rockets are well on top here. Phoenix require 64 from 30 balls after that set from Kathryn Bryce with the field back. Katie Mack and Georgia Elwiss are swinging the bat and manage to get 10 runs from Bryce's five balls, but they have been unable to find the boundary.

    Strategic timeout called by the Rockets to discuss plans for the coup de grace.

  12. Here's that "COME ON" roar from Katherine Brunt after claiming the wicket of Shafali Verma earlier.

  13. Trent Rockets look like they've got this one in the bag.

    The worm shows Birmingham Phoenix Women are three runs behind Trent Rockets Women. Birmingham Phoenix Women are 67 for 5 after 60 balls. At the same stage Trent Rockets Women were 70 for 2.

  14. Phoenix 67-5

    Fine bowling from Sarah Glenn, who probably deserves a wicket. Katie Mack gets an edge on a delivery from Glenn as she attempts to guide one down to third man, but wicketkeeper Rachel Priest is unable to get a glove on it. A good chance that.

    Glenn is quite tall and does get a lot of bounce. The Rockets may have been deceived by how far down Elwiss was down the pitch.

  16. Not out, and Georgia Elwiss survives. There was no bat involved but the technology determined the ball was bouncing over the stumps.

  17. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra commentator

    Nat Sciver wants to have a look at this because if Rockets get one more wicket than that should be game over.

  18. Umpire review

    Sarah Glenn teases her leg-breaks on a trick length to Georgia Elwiss. The ball strikes Elwiss on the pad. It's given not out and the Rockets call for DRS to take a look at it.
