    I don't think Mohammad Amir is enjoying his night. A chant of "you're getting sacked in the morning" is currently being sung in his direction.

    Livingstone carves through the off side for four. It's just looks effortless.

    As a captain, it's really hard to know what to say to a bowler in this situation. Most of the time, they don't want to talk to you at all.

    Mohammad Amir just hasn't got his radar right. He's bowled six wides so far.

  6. Phoenix 52-2published at 68 balls left

    Moeen Ali clips Amir off the hips and there's an athletic diving stop by Blake Cullen to stop the boundary.

    And then Amir sends down another wide delivery. The crowd love it but coach Shane Warne doesn't.

    Birmingham are marginally in front here, but they have a very top-heavy batting order. There's not as much power in the middle.

    I'm with you on that, William.

    Spinner Mohammad Nabi almost has captain Moeen Ali out first ball! Joe Denly dives and stretches out a hand but can't hold on. It was a tough chance but a chance nonetheless.

    We're getting the Icelandic thunder clap from the crowd now. The kids look like they're enjoying it.

    What an intriguing bit of play - it was a slower ball yorker and Finn Allen skipped down the track. He knew he'd been bowled, he'd been snookered, as the ball went past him.

    This could be an unintended set of 10 balls from Amir.

    It's a copy and paste job from my last entry - another wide and the crowd are on Amir's back with a sarcastic "ooooooh" as the bowler runs in.
