  1. So then, what can we say? It was a brutal batting display by Liam Livingstone as the Birmingham Phoenix captain secured his team's place in the men's Hundred final on Saturday.

    You can read Matt Henry's report from this evening's game here.

    We'll be back tomorrow with live text, radio commentary and in-play clips of the final group stage games as Welsh Fire and London Spirit clash in both the men's and women's tournament.

    Livingstone will, rightly so, receive all the plaudits, but I'm going to leave you to enjoy the clip of the legendary ball catching, beer downing, falling down fan...

  2. Those who were there tonight will never forget that Livingstone innings.

  3. 92 runs.

    40 balls.

    3 fours.

    10 (yes, TEN) sixes.

    'That is massive!' - Livingstone hits fastest 50 of The Hundred

  4. Birmingham Phoenix captain Liam Livingstone: "I actually felt under a bit more pressure with Moeen Ali going. He's left a big hole in our batting line up so it feels good to get an innings like that.

    "It was nice to get a few wickets too. I was really reluctant to bowl myself!

    "But Adam Milne as well, if I was a franchise coach he'd be my first pick in every team.

    "I feel good, I'm hitting them well. I hope this form lasts to be honest!

    "You play these tournaments to get that final experience. We deserve to be there and we're playing good cricket, but we're just going to go out there and enjoy it.

    "I'm not bothered about who we face. We'll take on anyone!"

  5. Let's see what the man of the moment had to say...

  6. I almost completely forgot Livingstone also took 3-25, to go with his unbeaten 92 from 40 balls.

  7. It's fair to say Liam Livingstone's leg-side game is in fine fettle.

  8. Birmingham Phoenix bowler Adam Milne: "We were really under the pump at the start. It was a good wicket, but the spinners did so well to pull it back in the middle.

    "I think their score was under-par so it was a really good effort.

    "It's always good to have yorkers and slower balls available bowling at the end. I just tried to mix it up as best as I could and it worked out well.

    "That's a decent all-round performance from Liam Livingstone, isn't it? I didn't think we were going to cruise to a win but that was incredible.

    "It's a great feeling to go straight to Lord's and not have to play the eliminator. It's exciting, we're just going to rest up now and get ready for that final."

    Jonny: Absolutely ridiculous display by Liam Livingstone at Headingley. 92 not out off 40 - incredible hitting, perfect for the free to air audience. Played with a smile too. Phoenix in to the final - hope they let Moeen play.

    Daniel Hirst: Liam Livingstone take a bow!!! That is some incredible hitting. No doubt he is in England’s World Cup side now!!!
