It feels as though this game deserved to go down to a final five because at so many stages it has just been neck and neck.
It's fantastic entertainment and this is often what the eliminators can do. Both teams don't want to let go of their hopes and dreams of this final.

I'm a touch speechless actually... Hosein has redeemed himself a bit here though...
I need a moment to breathe after all that.
The no-ball, the six, the wicket! The last five balls from Akeal Hosein had it all.
So now, teams will nominate two batters to face five balls, and must score as many runs as possible for their opponents to chase from their five.
Would you believe it?!
The men's eliminator is tied.
We've got a Super Five!

This is stressful. I was a bit sleepy earlier - I'm not anymore! The adrenaline is pumping.
1 ball.
Two runs to win.
One for a tie.
Akeal Hosein is bowling to Sean Abbott.
Dot ball!
Three needed from two.
Akeal Hosein has responded brilliantly after that first no-ball six.

It is remarkable, isn't it? Can you blame Livingstone there for trying to hit that for six?
A sensible person might have just hit that along the ground...
Livingstone c Evans b Hosein 55 (Phoenix 124-7)
What is going on?!
Livingstone misses out on the free hit, but then tries to finish the game in style and he picks out Laurie Evans on the mid-wicket boundary.
A cracking innings of 55 from 34 balls, but the job isn't done yet.
Phoenix need three runs to win from three balls.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
That's eight runs from that one delivery! And it is a free hit!
Livingstone has had a brilliant innings here.
No!
Criminal from the spinner.
It's a no-ball. Two extras, and it's now three runs needed from five.
Hello!
Liam Livingstone launches it into the stands.
Is that the game? Five needed from four.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Livingstone has nailed that! He is timing the ball so nicely this evening. He has stepped towards the ball and hammered it through the off-side in front of the groundsman's hut. It just skips across the turf for another four.
That's why!
Livingstone heaves four more down the ground.
11 runs needed from the final five balls.
It's the spinner Akeal Hosein who is going to bowl them.
He turns down the single.
Bold.
Need 15 from 7 balls
Abbott scampers through for a bye.
Over to you, Liam Livingstone.
It shifts once more!

And Benny Howell departs!
He picks out Laurie Evans at long-on.
The new batter, Sean Abbott, will be on strike with 16 runs needed from eight balls!
Need 16 from 9 balls
Just a single to Livingstone.
Benny Howell is on strike.

That's absolutely nailed again by Livingstone! He seems to be swinging with momentum on every single delivery.
