A bit of swagger about those shots, a bit of a strut. Oh, the youth of today.
Tonight's battle: Power v Deceptionpublished at 18:58 British Summer Time 10 August 2022
Liam Livingstone hit 27 sixes in last year's Hundred and holds the record for the highest score (92) in the men's competition.
Chris Jordan is England's leading wicket-taker in international Twenty20 cricket and can bowl with a real mix of pace and movement to bewilder opposition batters.
It's set to be a fascinating battle between two of the very best in their respective disciplines.
Jordan specialises in bowling at the end of an innings, when teams are defending.
But it doesn't matter when Livingstone bats - he just wants to hit sixes. Game on!

And just listen to that roar as Liam Livingstone comes to the crease! This could be fun...

Moeen b Fuller 17 (Phoenix 57-2)
Big breakthrough! James Fuller is into the attack for the first time and it's a rather unconvincing prod from Moeen Ali, the ball ricocheting off the edge and onto the stumps!
The fielders' celebrations tell you all you need to know about how important a wicket that is.

Trent Rockets & former England all-rounder on BBC RadioFantastic player of spin, Moeen. He always tries to hit sixes, but you always get a feeling with him.
Phoenix 57-1published at 35 balls
The fielders are having a tough time out there trying to pick out the ball in the bright sunshine.
Chris Jordan in particular is sporting a rather fancy pair of circular shades.

Phoenix 53-1published at 30 balls
Will Smeed hasn't quite fired yet but he's had enough of waiting.
He launches one back over the bowler's head for a one-bounce four.
Southern Brave have a brutal batting line-up so Phoenix will know they need to get a lot of runs on the board.

Phoenix 46-1published at 25 balls
And a classical drive to the boundary to finish a rather nasty set of five for George Garton, but a very successful one for Moeen Ali.
He is just an absolute joy to watch when he gets going.

Stop it, Moeen! That is huge.
He flicks one off his pads and up, up and away for the first six of the evening.
More of that, please.
Phoenix 36-1published at 22 balls
Crunched!
Moeen Ali smashes George Garton for four, doesn't bother to run and admires his handiwork.

Phoenix 31-1published at 20 balls
Edgbaston cheers as Moeen Ali, England all-rounder and Phoenix captain, makes his way to the middle.
He doesn't score off his first two balls and Brave's energy has increased all of a sudden.

Benjamin c De Kock b Stoinis 17 (Phoenix 31-1)
Stoinis makes the extra ball count, though!
Benjamin takes another hefty swing at a straighter ball that pings up in the air off the edge, safely taken by the wicketkeeper.
An entertaining but brief innings from the Phoenix opener.
