- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 And Matthews is the second batter to fall. What an incredible catch out at cow corner. Was an okay-ish delivery angling into the pads. Matthews' eyes lit up as she looked to hoik this, but she finds the fielder. She dives right into this catch and gobbles this up at a steep trajectory 29/22.4 Big appeal from Filer, it's been given. The batter has been trying to be innovative from the moment she's come to the crease. She looks for a reverse scoop here, but the trajectory of the ball misses her bat once more and thuds right into her pads. It's plumb 15/119.5 And this time the shot does carry and Capsey picks up the catch. Armitage falls for 32 with MI London having dragged themselves to 120 120/65.1 Melie Kerr falls straight away! She dashes down the track, looking to bunt a cover over mid-off. However, she could not get the elevation she needed because the delivery was fired in at a flatter trajectory than she expected. She has to walk away first ball. What a wicket. We are taking some time with the TV review here. Were her fingers grounded under the ball throughout? Looks like they were 29/38.4 And Monaghan's been castled by a peach of a delivery! Was flighted in the air, and deceived Monaghan completely as she went down on one knee, looking to slog this over cow corner. It rushes past her bat and sends her bails flying 47/418.1 Tossed up full on leg, Henry looks to back away and hit it down the ground but lofts it straight down long-off's throat. A bit of a leading edge there and that's the end of Henry's cameo. Good rescue act, though, after the batting lineup struggled for the most part today 103/5Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL120/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Kira Chathli, 2.4 ov), 2-29 (Hayley Matthews, 4.5 ov), 3-29 (Melie Kerr, 5.1 ov), 4-47 (Alice Monaghan, 8.4 ov), 5-103 (Chinelle Henry, 18.1 ov), 6-120 (Hollie Armitage, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Oh, leading edge and Perrin is a goner! Gordon strikes first ball! This is full around leg and Perrin looks to skip out of the ground and flick it leg side. gets a leading edge and it pops up to cover 16/20.3 Norris strikes in her first over! Spence shuffles across to try and scoop this full ball and she misses it altogether as it swings back in and crashes into off stump 3/15.2 Chipped to mid-off! This is full outside off and Capsey skips out and looks to drive it over mid-off, but can't get under it and ends up spooning a simple chance to the substitute fielder Francesca Sweet 45/36.5 Phoenix lose their fourth! Lamb looks for the reverse sweep to this legbreak on middle that straightens off the pitch and ends up gloving it. The ball balloons up and it's the simplest of catches for Kira Chathli 48/417.2 Is there a twist in this tale? Sana, as she has done so often this evening, bounces down the track, but she cannot middle this lofted drive as deep extra cover, running in, completes the catch. Phoenix do need just seven off 13, but you never know with them five wickets down. Luckily, they have Perry at the other end still. 114/5Extras10 (b 1, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL121/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 6.43 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Jemima Spence, 0.3 ov), 2-16 (Davina Perrin, 2.1 ov), 3-45 (Alice Capsey, 5.2 ov), 4-48 (Emma Lamb, 6.5 ov), 5-114 (Fatima Sana, 17.2 ov)
