Jimmy: "Phoenix 102 for 3 with 15 balls to go. 120-125 was looking to be a certainty. Gonna have to scratch for 110. What a stunning collapse"
Manic batting towards the end means Rockets will be the happier side to keep them down to an untaxing total. They stuttered in the powerplay and had to rebuild afterward but they compromised on the scoring rate. The wheels started to come off towards the end as Gardner bowled a brilliant spell and almost claimed a hat-trick, bowling with a lot of vigor and superb accuracy. Early wickets could make it a gripping contest. Grab yourself a drink and we'll be back in a few minutes

Graham to Wong, 2 runs, Fuller and angling across the right-hander, intentionally kept it away from her long levers, she manages to get some bat on it and scythes it away to deep backward point, returns for the second and Phoenix finish on 112 which looks a bit subpar but it's a still a fighting total and it's a high stakes game so expect Phoenix to come out all guns blazing

Graham to Wong, 2 runs, Steams in and lands it on a length at leg, she was stepping away from leg, smears it almost into the hands of King at long-off, saved a boundary
