This is where it gets tricky.
Every time we've seen a player get close to 100, they get a bit bogged down at the non-striker's end, just the way this format works with sets of 10 balls.
But Smeed does well, taking two and a single to make his way to 83 and on strike for the remaining 10.
Can he?

So much for giving Will Smeed the strike.
Matthew Wade smashes six of his own!
Read the room, we want the century!

Will Smeed likes hitting sixes.
Pass it on.

Smeed 79, Wade 2
Matthew Wade is the new batter and he has one job. Get Will Smeed on strike.
He does so, the pair just rotating a few singles off Tymal Mills.

Four more to Smeed, pumped down the ground!
He's on to 77 from 38 balls. This is mad.

Livingstone c Vince b Lintott 21 (Phoenix 137-3)
It's not very often that you take the wicket of Liam Livingstone... and it's not the one you wanted!
He couldn't quite get going, but in all fairness, he was stood watching Will Smeed smash it into the stands for most of his innings.
He tries to keep attacking but miscues the ball up in the air and into the hands of James Vince.

I can't keep up with this. Will Smeed is absolutely on one.

Sean Perry: Will Smeed is such a good cricketer.
Callum Franks: Smeed is on a mission here.
Warren Tarling: Will Smeed is going to play a lot for England. For me he is ahead of Phil Salt. How long before England take note?
Phoenix 130-2published at 75 balls
Again! He's still going!
It looks like he hasn't even got hold of it properly, the ball travelling high, high in the air but safely over Chris Jordan, who is unable to take the catch.
Very harsh to call it a drop, as the ball was pretty much behind him already.
