All times stated are UK

  1. Spirit 152-4

    Grace Scrivens is the new batter for Spirit with 10 balls to go in the innings.

    Is 170 doable from here?

  2. WICKET

    Ghosh run out (Devine) 29 (Spirit 151-4)

    Mix-up and Richa Ghosh is run out by a long way.

    Ghosh clubbed the ball leg side, the two looked to be on and Grace Harris certainly got back comfortably enough.

    However, Ghosh seemed to hesitate after realising she was short of her ground attempting to tap and turn for the second.

    She goes back but that costs her, she's barely more than a couple of yards away from Sophie Devine as she collects the throw and sends it down to Amy Jones behind the stumps.

  3. Spirit 150-3

    Harris 72, Ghosh 28

    Richa Ghosh goes this time!

    I'm not sure she got all of this but the ball still sails over long-on for a third six in four balls.

    That's 150 up for the Spirit.

  4. Spirit 143-3

    Harris 72, Ghosh 22

    Six more!

    Full toss from Sophie Devine and Grace Harris launches it over deep mid-wicket.

    That's gone a long way back!

  5. Spirit 137-3

    Harris 66, Ghosh 22

    Big, big hit from Grace Harris!

    Straight back over Erin Burns' head. Effortless power from the Spirit opener.

  6. Spirit 129-3

    Harris 60, Ghosh 21

    Inside-out over extra cover for four!

    Lovely shot from Richa Ghosh to put a bit of pressure on Erin Burns early in the set.

  7. Spirit 123-3

    Richa Ghosh misses out on a leg-stump full toss to end the set.

    Seven from from it. Spirit will be targeting 150-plus from here, they need 27 from the last 20 balls to get there.

    With seven wickets in hand, you'd back them to get there comfortably.

  8. Post update

    Issy Wong was all smiles after taking the catch to dismiss Sophie Luff but it could have been different if her stumble had proven more costly...

  9. Spirit 120-3

    Sophie Devine has been held back and now sees her first ball hammered back over her head by Richa Ghosh!

    Top shot.

  10. Spirit 116-3

    Good set from Emily Arlott but the running between the wickets has been good from Grace Harris and Richa Ghosh, they take singles form every ball.

    25 balls left...

  11. Post update

    Here is the second Spirit wicket to fall. Amelia Kerr caught at mid-on off the bowling of Katie Levick...

  12. Spirit 111-3

    Good ball to finish from Erin Burns. There seemed to be a bit more zip to that delivery and the ball bounces to beat Richa Ghosh's cut shot and is only just over the top of the stumps.

  13. Spirit 109-3

    No spin troubles for Richa Ghosh yet. She moves across her stumps and swivels on the pull shot.

    It races away behind square for four.

  14. Post update

    It will be spin to Richa Ghosh as Erin Burns continues after the timeout.

  15. Use spin to Ghosh

    London Spirit's Richa Ghosh

    Birmingham Phoenix might best be advised to bowl spin to Richa Ghosh, according to the CricViz data.

    In five innings in The Hundred this year, the India wicketkeeper-batter has scored just 40 runs from 51 balls against spin. That's a strike-rate of only 78.

    Not only is Ghosh struggling to score against spin, she's been dismissed by it in all five of those innings for an average of eight.

  16. Spirit 103-3

    Harris 56, Ghosh 0

    Eve Jones takes the strategic timeout. There are 35 balls left in the innings, can Phoenix fight back to restrict Spirit?

    The away side look on for a very big total, especially if Grace Harris stays out there.

  17. WICKET

    Luff c Wong b Burns 3 (Spirit 103-3)

    Top-edged sweep and Issy Wong stumbles but holds onto the catch.

    The ball wasn't quite there for the shot but Sophie Luff took it on and it went high into the leg side.

    Wong was there in plenty of time but almost tripped over her own feet as she took the catch. She allows herself a smile once the ball is safely in her grasp.

    Erin Burns strikes in her first set.

  18. 50 for Grace Harris

    Spirit 99-2

    Wayward from Emily Arlott and Grace Harris nails the sweep shot behind square for four.

    That takes her to her half-century from 31 balls. She has been quick to punish the Phoenix bowlers and has plenty of time to inflict further damage.

  19. Spirit 94-2

    Fantastic fielding by Erin Burns at mid-wicket, diving to make the stop after Sophie Luff had whipped the ball in her direction.

    It was nearly a catch but it reached Burns on the half-volley.

  20. Spirit 92-2

    Drag down from Katie Levick and Grace Harris isn't going to miss out.

    She goes deep in her crease and then crashes the ball away through the covers for her ninth boundary of the innings.

    Sophie Luff is the new batter for Spirit.
