A perfect reverse sweep from Hammond. It rockets away for four.

I do like them putting the win predictor up on screen at this point in a game. How on earth do you know?
Dawson is back and is immediately cut for a single.

Phoenix just on simmer. Waiting for the ball in the slot.

Everything Livingstone does is designed to cause maximum damage. He nearly spins out of his boots trying to put Garton into the crowd from a no ball (for height).
Phoenix 64-3published at Ball 56
While Livingstone is there a very big score is still possible.
George Garton is back to try and prevent that.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraVery smart batting. The ball was turning into Livingstone. He chose the right option. Phoenix needed that six. They are still a bit behind.

BOOM!
Livingstone has been eyeing this up for about 20 balls. He smashes one between mid-on and midwicket, high and into the stand.

The intent is there from Hammond and Livingstone, but Lintott is to smart and skilful.

Liam Dawson. More spin. Hammond pushes the first ball for a single.

Job done from Jake Lintott. Lovely stuff.
Ten deliveries, three runs for two wickets.
Phoenix 48-3published at Ball 39
Lintott gets away with one as he chucks one down leg and is hit by Hammond but straight to the fielder at short fine leg.
