Howell c Buttler b Brathwaite 0 (Phoenix 80-7)
ANOTHER!
Brathwaite slams a slower ball into the pitch, which Howell swings early at and sends a catch behind off the back of his bat to Buttler.
The home fans are loving this.
Phoenix need something special now.

What a catch!
Benjamin lofts one down the ground and Salt takes it on the edge, throws the ball up so he can take one step over the line and then gathers the ball again.
Almost makes it look routine, but that is a tough skill.

Steven Finn's like a magnet.
The ball keeps on following him in the outfield.

Chris Cooke addresses the ball like a veteran.
He plays with this incredibly wide stance that he's developed over a 17-year career.
Cracking set from Hartley. His 20 have gone for just 22.
They really are huge boundaries. The fielders are always in with a shout of cutting off ground hits.

Chris Benjamin's story is incredible when you think just 10 days ago, he hadn't played a senior cricket match in any format.
Another set of five rocket by.
Parkinson and the originals are leading the Phoenix a merry dance now.
Needs some serious batting from the Phoenix bottom half to get to a competitive score now. First target is at least three figures.

This pitch is awkward and it's going to be a 120-130 wicket.
They've lost all their top-order batters now Phoenix, so what have they got left?
Bell-Drummond c & b Harrison 12 (Phoenix 67-5)
Oh, nightmare for Bell-Drummond! He tries to turn one round the corner and gets a leading edge straight back to bowler Harrison.
There are 153 days to go until Christmas.
Phoenix have a gift here courtesy of a no ball. They can't take advantage, though. Just a single.

Ese: I find the "50 balls to go" graphic rather festive...

It was about 15 balls ago that we had our last boundary before that one from Chris Benjamin.
Like the women's match earlier, runs have been hard to come by.
Benjamin isn't messing about. Straight away he pummels one over mid-wicket for four.
