BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThe problem for Trent Rockets is because of the success of Alex Hales and Dawid Malan so far in this tournament others haven't had to contribute with the bar. But now they have to step up.

Kohler-Cadmore 9, Cockbain 3
It's been turgid from the boys in yellow and it looks like Tahir has finally finished celebrating and is coming back on to bowl. This won't improve their confidence.

Former England bowler on BBC RadioNo real celebration from Tom Helm. If Imran Tahir had taken that he would have run off towards Birmingham.

Munro c & b Helm 11
An outstanding catch off his own bowling. Back of the hand from Helm and he plucks it in his follow through.

Kohler-Cadmore 5, Munro 10
Kohler-Cadmore and Munro are showing intent but they're failing to middle anything. Van der Gugten has only come in today but has bowled tight lines so far.

BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIf that hit it would have been close. Tom Kohler-Cadmore must have had his heart in his mouth.
It was always a risky single straight to the fielder.

Livingstone shies at the stumps and almost takes out Kohler-Cadmore instead!
Rockets 21-2published at 15 balls
Kohler-Cadmore 2, Munro 9
There's a real repair job going on here but there's no time to prod and poke. Fast hands from Munro to find the boundary during that set. There's definitely something in this pitch with the odd ball just holding a bit.
Tight bowling from Helm to finish with a dot.

Lewis Gregroy is nervously stroking his chin stubble in the dugout. I'm not sure this was in anyone's script. And by that I mean both the wickets and the celebrations.

Malan c Brookes b Tahir 9 (Rockets 11-2)
Imran Tahir is off and he's done the Ronaldo SHOOOOOOOOOO!
That's the two BIG names gone early. Malan spooned it up and it was a good grab in the end by the young Brookes.

Former England bowler on BBC RadioGetting rid of Alex Hales, who is a powerful and dangerous batter, is a huge coup for the Birmingham Phoenix
Moeen Ali has vindicated the decision to open the bowling himself.
WICKETpublished at 4 Balls
Hales c Howell b Ali 1 (Rockets 2-1)
HUGE! That's the end of Alex Hales. He tried to hoik Moeen Ali over mid-wicket and just doesn't get enough mustard on it (despite the colour of his shirt). Easily taken by Howell on the boundary.

The smoke is just clearing and the Phoenix have taken the field.
David Malan strides out swinging his bat like Obi-Wan Kenobi swings a light saber.
