Dot balls are piling up! Hard length ball outside off, turns it down to the extra cover fielder
similar line and length ball on the probing channel, whizzes past the outside edge as Gordon tries to poke it to backward point
Edged and taken! What a turn of events out there! It was a back of a length ball slightly kept low outside off, King hangs back deep inside the crease, deceived by the leg cutter of Schutz, and plays the square cut and outside edges to Jones behind the stumps, who was standing up near the stumps and takes a brilliant grab!
Schutt to bowl the penultimate set, 5 runs needed.
Will: "From a forgone conclusion to a rather tense finish coming up. Can the Rockets find a way home, or will the Phoenix rise?"

Baker to bowl out
full and straight driven with the full face of the bat past Arlott to long on, completes the double. Chance of runout at the non-striker's end, but Em Arlott decides to leave the ball. She was standing in front of the stumps and didn't anticipate the non-striker's movement at all.
slower bouncer pulled away over midwicket
length ball driven through the covers for a single
slower through the air outside off, throws her bat at it early, plays away from the body and inside edges to the on-side, Jones sprints to her left side, collects the ball and has a go at the striker's end, hitting the rib of Alana King, who was hopping back to the crease with a desperate late drive. Then King rattled onto the stumps with her leg as she reached the crease. Ouch!
