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

    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.

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

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

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

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