Originals 78-3
Need 10 from 35 balls
Buttler pads up. Not sure he offered a shot. Big shouts on the pitch but no finger. The Phoenix have used their review too.
Originals 78-3
Need 10 from 38 balls
No point Moeen walking away with balls left to bowl.
Ten to win.
Originals 76-3
Need 12 from 40 balls
Singles win this at a canter now.
Walk in the park.
Originals 73-3
Need 15 from 43 balls
Tahir is given a chance to make amends for his little error in the field a moment ago.
Nothing stupid from the home side. Just working it around for easy runs.
Originals 70-3
Need 18 from 45 balls
Lammonby gets in on the fine flick action. It beats Tahir, who is fine, and runs away for another four.
It is surely beyond the Phoenix now.

It's one of those funny evenings where you wonder if the crowd will feel short-changed, but they'll probably be quite pleased with seeing one of their own, Matt Parkinson, do so well.
Originals 65-3
Need 23 from 48 balls
Livingstone returns. Buttler goes fine again. Beautiful shot. Four.
Originals 60-3
Need 28 from 50 balls
Moeen does a fine job. But he needs some serious backup.
The Originals are in no rush. No need for anything mad.

Originals 58-3
Need 30 from 52 balls
Moeen draws a leading edge that just falls short of him. Lammonby is then delighted to get off strike.
Originals 57-3
Need 31 from 54 balls
Moeen continues past the initial five. Of course he does.
Next batter: Tom Lammonby

Originals 57-3
Need 31 from 56 balls
Slip is in. Phoenix on the attack. The ball is ripping off this pitch.
WICKET
Munro st Cooke b Moeen 7 (Originals 57-3)
Oh hello!
Munro leaves his ground, swings and misses, giving Cooke a simple stumping off Moeen.
Poor shot. Phoenix need another four or five of those and quickly!
Originals 57-2
Need 31 from 59 balls
The win predictor currently has Phoenix at 2%.
Originals 57-2
Need 31 from 60 balls
The Originals are cruising.
Phoenix need a miracle.
Here comes Moeen...

Originals 56-2
Need 32 from 61 balls
Howell carries on from his initial five. Why not? He can't make further inroads, though, as the Originals keep the scoreboard ticking.
Originals 52-2
Need 36 from 66 balls
Munro isn't hanging about. First ball goes for four, pulled straight off the back foot.
No messing.

He's a seamer but he got that delivery to grip and turn like the off-break.
