    Better set from the Phoenix as Kirtstie Gordon starts with three tidy delivery.

    Georgia Elwiss looks very frustrated with that!

  4. Superchargers 40-0published at 75 balls to go

    Healy 25, Lewis 9

    Healy's got into her rhythm now, lofting another boundary down the ground before carving one over the top to make it three fours on the bounce.

    Target 154

    Georgia Elwiss takes over with some seam.

    But Alyssa Healy isn't hanging about now, lofting the new bowler over the top for four.

    The pace on the ball from Issy Wong looks a lot easier to score from.

    Healy 12, Lewis 8

    And Alyssa Healy gets in on the action, carving a short one for four. A much better set for the Superchargers.

    A lot of the time in short-format cricket, it's more about damage limitation, isn't it?

  10. 6 runs

    Superchargers 19-0published at 83 balls to go

    Target 154

    This is big. Gaby Lewis picks a short ball from Issy Wong and launches one over the shorter, legside boundary.

    Lewis remember is a last-minute sub for Jemimah Rodrigues.

  11. Superchargers 12-0published at 85 balls to go

    Target 154

    10 dots in a row from Molineux. Nobody can score off her.

    This time Gaby Lewis blocks a set of five out.

    The worm shows Northern Superchargers Women are six runs behind Birmingham Phoenix Women. Northern Superchargers Women are 12 for 0 after 15 balls. At the same stage Birmingham Phoenix Women were 18 for 0.

    This is remarkable! Such a fine spell of bowling from Sophie Molineux.

  13. Superchargers 12-0published at 87 balls to go

    Target 154

    Sophie Molineux continues. Three more dots. That's eight balls bowled and no runs conceded.

    Healy 8, Lewis 1

    This will go down as runs for Healy, she flicks one of her pads for four.

    Good start from the Superchargers.

    I'm not convinced Issy Wong meant to dye her hair that colour.

    Our first runs on the board as Alyssa Healy flicks one off her legs fine for three.

    Harsh on Healy though, it's given as byes.

    Izzy Wong by the way has bleached her hair this kind of greeny, yellowy colour. I'm a fan. Not a single one of my colleagues agrees with me though.

    A very good start from Sophie Molineux. She's got a clear plan, kept the stumps in play and restricted Alyssa Healy very well.

    Target 154

    Brilliant start from Sophie Molineux. Her first five balls go for no runs.

    Pacer Issy Wong is up next.

    Alyssa Healy can certainly provide [a quick start]. She loves playing on the big stage and while this may not exactly be a World Cup final, there is pressure on her.

    We start with spin as Sophie Molineux bowls a dot to Alyssa Healy first ball.
