  1. The media team at Edgbaston have just released the following: "We appreciate all your messages regarding the injured spectator in the Hollies Stand. Medical staff responded within minutes and he’s now in the safest hands. We’ll update as soon as we know more."

  2. Phoenix 58-3

    Hammond 28, Wade 1

    Miles Hammond is struggling to get off strike as David Wiese varies his length. The Phoenix need to go big and they need to go big now.

    Matthew Wade is a serious competitor. He's happy to wear balls on his body. He doesn't mind the battle and will go towards the fire rather than away from it. Superchargers will want rid of him quickly.

  4. Phoenix 58-3

    Target 170

    Matthew Wade is the next batter in, starting with a single to the offside boundary.

    The batting just keeps on coming for the Phoenix.

    I would say it's very much advantage in the Superchargers' column.

    WICKET

    Ali c Willey b Miles 1 (Phoenix 57-3)

    They've got him!

    The Superchargers are on top as Moeen Ali chases another wide Craig Miles delivery and slaps it straight to David Willey in the covers.

  7. Phoenix 57-2

    Target 170

    Super, super Mo...

    Edgbaston is in fine voice tonight. When's it not to be honest?

    Craig Miles starts with two wides to Moeen Ali.

  8. Henry Moeran
    BBC Radio

    This game is finely poised and the wicket of Livingstone really feels like a momentum shift.

  9. Phoenix 55-2

    Target 170

    Super Moeen Ali is in at four. He starts with a single to the leg side.

    The worm shows Birmingham Phoenix Men are nine runs behind Northern Superchargers Men. Birmingham Phoenix Men are 54 for 2 after 30 balls. At the same stage Northern Superchargers Men were 63 for 1.

    You know Livingstone is never going to turn down the challenge and you've got to back yourself as a bowler. He's not going to make it every time.

    WICKET

    Livingstone c Brook b Willey 5 (Phoenix 54-2)

    Not this time. Liam Livingstone goes large again but once more he comes up short. It's an easy catch at long-on.

    How big a moment could that prove to be?

  13. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio

    That is not an easy catch. They're never straightforward when you're running backwards like that and it went so high.

    But he is such a safe pair of hands, you would back him to take it.

    Livingstone dropped on 1

    Phoenix 53-1

    Liam Livingstone goes big but he doesn't have enough on it. Can Dwayne Bravo take the catch running backwards...

    No! Dropped and the ball rolls to the ropes for four.

    How costly will that drop be?

  15. David Willey is going to bowl 10 in a row as he prepares for another set of five.

    Target 170

    And Livingstone starts with a single off a thick inside edge.

  18. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio

    Will Smeed hadn't faced a delivery for a while, so you just sensed he was getting a bit frustrated.

    But here comes the best slogger in world cricket, and I do not mean that in a derogatory way. Liam Livingstone is so destructive.

  19. Liam Livingstone is in at number three.

  20. Aatif Nawaz

    Will Smeed can't believe he's just thrown that away.
