    Oh how the Phoenix needed this.

    Benny Howell reverse-sweeps Adil Rashid for four.

  4. Phoenix 70-5

    Target 170

    He's covered a lot of ground to get there and it's a great grab.

  6. Post update

    You get the feeling that this match could be over very quickly.

  7. WICKET

    Hammond c Brook b Wiese 31 (Phoenix 68-5)

    From bad to worse.

    Miles Hammond has to go for it but he can't get enough on a looper down the ground.

    Harry Brook runs round to catch it in the deep.

    You sense now that it's too much to do.

    Ones are only going to do so much for the Phoenix. They need boundaries and they need them quickly.

    50 balls to go
  12. Phoenix 68-4

    Target 170

    Brilliant from Rashid, his 10 balls go for just eight runs and bring the key wicket of Matthew Wade.

    It's always key for a spinner at this stage to get through their overs quickly and put pressure on the opposition.

  14. Phoenix 63-4

    Target 170

    Chris Benjamin, who has opened before for the Phoenix, is next in.

    Rashid will bowl another set of five. Why not?

    Rashid

    Wade goes. Is that the game?

  16. WICKET

    Wade c Simpson b Rashid 3 (Phoenix 62-4)

    Where do the Phoenix go from here?

    Matthew Wade attempts to reverse-sweep Adil Rashid but only gets a feather on the ball and is caught behind.

    He goes for just three runs.

    It's going to be tough to get boundaries off a class bowler like Rashid.

  18. Phoenix 62-3
