  1. Phoenix 90-1

    Big appeal for LBW against Allen. Turned down.

    We are heading for another mighty total here. Say it quietly, but 200 is again not out of the question.

    IT IS OUT OF THE GROUND. That's going to knock on someone's front door.

  3. Phoenix 89-1

    THIS. IS. HUGE. Allen absolute obliterates one out of the ground. Slog sweep over midwicket. What a hit.

  4. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That could be a huge moment. Matt Carter looks like someone has told him Christmas has been cancelled.

    Phoenix 77-1

    Another one down. D'Arcy Short spills one near the edge and it trickles for four.

    That was a brilliant catch by the man in the crowd. Take a bow, as well you might, sir.

  7. Phoenix 76-1

    Is Matt Carter the man to break this partnership. He's bowled well so far and taken the only wicket.

    Livingstone does not care as he drops to one knee and smacks a six into the stand. Oh, it's a great catch in the crowd. Well done that man.

  8. Phoenix 72-1

    Halfway through. The Phoenix looking ominous.

  9. Phoenix 72-1

    There is a lot of clean hitting going on. So Samit goes a bit wider and beats the bat of Allen.

  10. Phoenix 70-1

    Samit is back. The Rockets need a wicket.

    As his elbows hit the floor it popped out. It was an unbelievable effort.

  12. dropped catch

    Allen dropped on 20

    Oh Steven Mullaney! The crowd think he has taken a great catch off the bowling of Matt Carter, diving at long on. But he's spilt it as he lands. Finn Allen survives.

  13. Phoenix 65-1

    Replays show that De Lange had a cheeky little word with Livingstone after that short ball. "You didn't see that one did you mate?"

  14. Alex Hartley
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    When you swing that hard, it flies away. It was maybe a bit lucky given there were fielders behind square in play otherwise.

  15. Phoenix 63-1

    It's blood and thunder stuff now.

  16. Phoenix 62-1

    And now a top-edge for six from a firey short ball. Swing hard lad.

  17. Phoenix 56-1

    Marchant de Lange charges in to sling down some missiles. He clocks Livingstone on the arm with his first ball.

    You felt something had to give in this set of five from Rashid and Livingstone has muscled it for six.

  19. Phoenix 56-1

    This Phoenix pair treat Rashid with the ultimate respect. We'll take some poor scoring just to survive.

    But Livingstone is Livingstone and he can't keep himself in check for long. He drops to one knee and hammers the game's first six over backward point. He follows it with a pulled four.

    Fascinating contest.

  20. Phoenix 44-1

    Rashid continues from the other end. Of course he does.

    Allen gets him away for one. All yours skipper.
