    Steve Mullaney, what a brilliant catch. He took one hand off the ball as he started to land over the rope, threw it up in time and took it safely two-handed.

    It's one of the most wonderful catch you'll see. It's absolutely outrageous. Seeing is believing with that - it was hit so hard and you have to have the presence of mind to know exactly when to throw it back up in the air.

    Livingstone c Mullaney b Patel 50 (Phoenix 102-3)

    OH YES! AWESOME CATCH!

    Livingstone hits to long off, where Mullaney takes it, lobs it up while he steps over the rope and then reclaims the ball.

    Just wonderful.

    Brillliant fielding by Sam Cook. The crowd love that.

  10. Phoenix 102-2published at Ball 65

    Brilliant fielding. A dive from Sam Cook at mid-wicket stops the concession of another four. The Phoenix move to three figures.

  11. Phoenix 99-2published at Ball 64

    Madness. Phoenix go for a quick single that Rashid charges to field off his own bowling and throw at the sticks. He misses and it leads to an overthrow.

  12. Phoenix 97-2published at Ball 63

    Hammond is away with a little pulled punch of a shot to leg.

  13. Phoenix 95-2published at Ball 61

    Rashid Khan returns. He drops short but Livingstone misses out.

  14. Phoenix 95-2published at Ball 60

    Excellent from De Lange. He has checked the Phoenix progress here with a magnificent set.

    Bowled! Full, straight and vicious from Marchant de Lange.

    Allen b De Lange 29 (Phoenix 95-2)

    THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO!

    That was quick. It was also full and directed right at leg stump. Too good for Allen.

  18. Phoenix 94-1published at Ball 56

    Marchant de Lange returns to fight fire with fire.

    Livingstone somehow whips a four off his toes. What can you do as a bowler?

    Evidence so far that this is going to be a big score and the Phoenix aren't missing Moeen Ali too much, so far.

    The Rockets take a much-needed tactical timeout. Chance to regroup after that onslaught.
