    This will be the over where Liam Livingstone thinks, 'Let's try and get 20 runs'.

    Jacob Bethell will try and get Liam Livingstone on strike for some of these deliveries.

    You can sense that something is brewing with Liam Livingstone.

  3. Phoenix 52-3published at 65 balls left

    142 runs needed

    Eight runs from Mitch Santner's set and Liam Livingstone keeping his shots in check, at least for now.

  4. Phoenix 49-3published at 68 balls left

    145 runs needed

    Jacob Bethell gets his first boundary, scooping new baller Mitch Santner over the wicket-keeper's head and the ball runs away to the boundary very fine.

    Bethell is yet to score a double-digit score in The Hundred this season.

  5. Phoenix 44-3published at 70 balls left

    150 runs needed

    Harry Brook turns to Adil Rashid's spin, with the fielding restrictions now lifted.

    The veteran keeps things tight giving away just three runs.

    However, Jacob Bethell, who is set become England's youngest men's captain after the T20 squad for Ireland was announced earlier today, gets off the mark with single.

    That is the powerplay done and dusted. The Superchargers have picked up three wickets, but it's not over until you get rid of Liam Livingstone.

    Livingstone is going to be ultra attacking.

    Jacob Duffy brings his set to an end and that's also the end of the powerplay.

    What a shot that was!

    Liam Livingstone picking up length and going full throttle through the ball.

    Livingstone is one of the best in the world with fast hands.

    Phoenix 40-3published at 76 balls left

    154 runs needed

    We know Liam Livingstone can play some big shots, and he's played not one but two of them off Jacob Duffy over the rope.

    The second one is massive one, ending up on the roof at Headingley.

    They will need a new ball here!

    Joe Clarke forcing a hit. There is now scoreboard pressure and it's going to be hard work for the Phoenix!

    No reprieve for Joe Clarke this time though!

    More misplaced aggression from the Phoenix batter and he top-edges it straight into the hands of Jacob Duffy to leave his side in some trouble.

    Joe Clarke can be destructive if he gets going. He's one of the best ball strikers we have in England.

  13. Phoenix 21-2published at 85 balls left

    173 runs needed

    Joe Clarke, who is joined by Phoenix captain Liam Livingstone in the middle, once again takes the aerial route and this time his shot lands between two Superchargers fielders.

    A fantastic effort from David Miller who dives low to his right but just can't hold onto a catch presented to him by Joe Clarke.

    Unfortunate dismissal for Ben Duckett.

    Duckett will feel hard done by, he will feel the batter should get the benefit of the doubt.

    Ben Duckett has to go!

    Ball tracking shows Matthew Pott's delivery would have gone on to hit the leg stump and it's umpire's call.

    Duckett's poor start to The Hundred season continues - his best score of the season so far has been 20 that came on Sunday against Southern Brave.

    It looks straight, but I have not been good on the calls today!

  18. Phoenix reviewpublished at 90 balls left

    Phoenix 13-1

    This is a big shout from Matthew Potts for an lbw against Ben Duckett and the it's given out on the field.

    But the Phoenix opener is going upstairs with it.

    Nice pace from Matthew Potts, but just a nice tickle from Ben Duckett. He doesn't hit it, he deflects it for four.

  20. Phoenix 13-1published at 91 balls left

    181 runs needed

    Matthew Potts, after taking that brilliant catch, is into the attack.

    But Ben Duckett sends him to the boundary not once, but twice in four balls.
