Jack: If Moeen Ali gets recalled for England based upon his form in the 100 then England have not & never will learn their lesson about picking players based on white ball form. This talk about bringing him back for Lord's, based upon what exactly?
The noise from the crowd has turned down a couple of notches as Liam Livingstone looks to ease himself into the game with a few nudges and nurdles.
Can't be long until he goes after it, surely?

It was brilliant. Welsh Fire were looking lost for words there. It was timely for them but unfortunately you now have Liam Livingstone walking out.

It was brilliant while it lasted.
Moeen c Cockbain b Neesham 59 (Phoenix 109-2)
Moeen Ali goes down the ground again but this time the left-hander cannot quite the distance, dragging the ball across and into the hands of Ian Cockbain at long-on.
Did Jimmy Neesham just take the pace off ever so slightly there? Moeen Ali chips it into the covers but the ball plonks safely into the out field.
No boundaries of that set from Neesham so far.
The last 10 balls have gone for 43 runs! Jimmy Neesham into the Welsh Fire attack in an attempt to stifle this brutal assault.
The Kiwi starts with a wide - well at least that can't be hit for six.

Kumaran Ravendradas: Brian Lara often batted like this to spinners. Moeen is another class.

It has been phenomenal batting. Moeen has picked the gaps and played with the field. I am surprised Fire haven't taken the timeout. Massive momentum with Birmingham Phoenix.

This is the second fastest fifty of The Hundred so far.
A standing ovation for Moeen Ali as he reaches a half-century off just 23 balls
Quite brilliant.

That is the beauty of this tournament. It has made a platform for Will Smeed to make a name for himself.
Will Smeed joins the party with a monster heave over cow corner. Smeed goes deep in his crease and gets under a ball from Matt Milnes and it's gone 89 metres.
Explosive hitting this.
Hello! Another six from Moeen Ali. This is sensationally clean hitting from the England all-rounder. It's back-to-back sixes. First he whacks spinner Graeme White back over his head for a maximum and then he hits the biggest of the evening off the same bowler - 88 metres - over long-on. 26 runs of that set of five.

Moeen is flying. What a hit.
This time it's a glorious piece of timing from Moeen Ali as he advances down the track to Graeme White and the left-hander biffs it for six down the ground.
That six from Moeen Ali was measured at 81 metres.
