    Six more!

    A little flatter this time from Will Smeed and it nearly takes out an unwitting cameraman who happens to be walking past at the wrong time.

  2. 6 runs

    Phoenix 55-2

    118 runs needed

    Oh, hello!

    Will Smeed leans back and absolutely tonks Sunil Narine into the stands for another large one.

    I think there is definitely FOMO (fear of missing out) among players. I've spoke to a few that have missed out and they are gutted.

    Those that aren't involved this year have to put their hand up in the T20 Blast and the 50-over competition for next year.

  4. Phoenix 48-2

    125 runs needed

    Moeen Ali is off the mark straight away, but that's a good set of five from Shamsi.

    That is the big wicket.

  7. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It is a big start from Tabraiz Shamsi. Liam Livingstone just didn't quite time it properly. The crowd are disappointed.

    WICKET

    Livingstone c Evans b Shamsi 7 (Phoenix 45-2)

    Tabraiz Shamsi strikes with his first delivery!

    The number one T20 bowler sees the back of Liam Livingstone, who tries to repeat his huge six and ends up sending it into the hands of the man in the deep.

    128 runs needed

    Liam Livingstone has got hold of that one though, and sent it about five rows back into the Hollies!

    Oval Invincibles do need to get rid of Liam Livingstone because if we see 20 or 25 balls of him then he will probably have broke the back of this chase.

  12. Phoenix 39-1

    Liam Livingstone tries to whack Reece Topley into the centre of Birmingham and misses by a mile.

    The Hundred is 10 years overdue. I think it is amazing.

    I am sad that I won't get a chance to play in it, but it is played in the height of the summer, and it pays good money so you can attract big players like Rashid Khan, Andre Russell and David Warner.

    It is fantastic.

  14. Phoenix 38-1

    135 runs needed

    Reece Topley returns for Invincibles, and is instantly driven to the boundary by Will Smeed. Ouch.

    This is looking more and more like a batters' paradise. It is skidding on and just rolling away on the outfield. It is like a billiards table out there.

  16. Phoenix 34-1

    139 runs needed

    Birthday boy Liam Livingstone comes out to join Will Smeed, who sends a nice-looking cut shot away for four.

    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    This won't be how Sam Billings expected to break up the partnership when he threw the ball to Sunil Narine.

  18. Alison Mitchell
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That is out of nowhere!

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Allen hit wicket 23 (Phoenix 28-1)

    Well, no-one expected that!

    Finn Allen goes deep into his crease and treads on the stumps with his back foot! That is a horror way to get out.

  20. Here's Sunil Narine.
