  1. Phoenix 29-1published at 83 balls left

    Aaaaand another wide.

  2. Phoenix 28-1published at 83 balls left

    Mohammad Amir returns to the attack, these two batters will be able to take the game away from London Spirit in just a few overs.

    Amir is drilled through the leg side by Allen. The fast bowler then bowls a short delivery which is well over the head of Liam Livingstone and it's signalled a no-ball by the umpire.

    And then another extra as Amir bowls a wide.

    He needs to just settle down a bit here.

    This is a valuable experience for young Blake Cullen, but to be bowling at these two in your first Hundred game - good luck!

    Edged and over the slips for four to Allen. Went like a rocket!

    Huge. Massive. Gigantic.

    Blake Cullen, aged just 19, is punished down the ground by Liam Livingstone.

    He really can whack the ball a long way!

    Finn Allen at one end and Liam Livingstone at the other. That is quite mouth-watering.

    What a start to Chris Wood's Hundred career.

    Edged and gone! It's the faintest of nicks off Miles Hammond's bat and Inglis takes the catch behind the stumps.

    If he'd connected with that, that's six!

    Chris Wood bowls and New Zealand's Finn Allen takes a huge swing - one which would have served him well at Royal St George's for last week's Open Championship.

    Just joining us? Where have you been?

    Allow us to whet your appetite for this run chase with a clip of Zak Crawley reaching his 50 with a 6.

    You're welcome.

    An entertaining five balls! Brilliant bowling, great cricket shots and a couple of play and misses. This game is set up perfectly.

  17. Phoenix 6-0published at 98 balls left

    Crunch! Hammond plays a textbook drive through the off side for four.

    I know we talk about the players' kit all the time but I love the umpires' pink shirt sleeves! It's a lot easier to see what they're signalling.

    Oof! A beautiful inswinging delivery from Amir - one we've seen him and many Pakistan great produce in years gone by.

    Allen managed to get some bat on it and scrambles a single.

    These Hundred pictures crack me up. Miles Hammond is really going for it.
