Middlesex all-rounder on BBC RadioJohn Simpson has got a bit of a thing about going after Benny Howell, I've seen it a few times in county cricket.
So he won't be afraid to target this.

Willey b Moeen 1 (Superchargers 92-4)
Oh Moeen that is a beauty. Willey's off stump is bent back by one that skids through. Zingers flashing in the Edgbaston evening.

Hose 15, Willey 1
The way they started, I definitely assumed this score would be in the hundreds by now. But Phoenix have clawed back some control and the crowd can sense it.
Edgbaston in full voice.

BBC RadioI like to imagine that whenever anything goes well in Imran Tahir's life, he runs down the street and gives it that celebration.
Like if he's overstayed his time on a parking meter and has gotten away with it or something.

Brook c Tahir b Richardson 3 (Superchargers 85-3)
Off goes Imran Tahir. There's the Ronaldo celebration again as he takes the catch. Brook just slashed at that one and Tahir wasn't dropping it.

Middlesex all-rounder on BBC RadioOne of the best things about playing in the UK is the songs that the crowds make up for their players.
We don't get that much in Australia. I just don't think we're that creative!

Hose 13, Brook 3
Hose is just looking to accelerate the run rate again. The brakes had just been put on by the Phoenix after that batting masterclass from Lyth came to an end.

"Super Moeen Ali" reverberates around the Hollies as the orange army find their voice.
The wave has started now.

Middlesex all-rounder on BBC RadioReally smart bowling from Moeen Ali. Adam Lyth had been targeting that shorter boundary all innings so he dragged his length back.
Phoenix can really try and drag back some momentum with that wicket.

Lyth 56 b Ali (Superchargers 74-2)
THE NOISE OF THE CROWD!
That's the end of Lyth. You miss, I hit says Moeen Ali as he bowls Lyth round his legs.
He's just the cool head for a crisis isn't he?

Some sketchy running but the throw from Smeed is wild.
Are we on for a 190 tonight?

Every ball counts, Matthew!

Lyth 49, Hose 2
Image source, Getty ImagesNothing more than a flick from Lyth and it's straight back down the ground for six. Delightful.
And another? Oh go on then. Smashed into the Hollies but disappointingly put down by a man in the crowd.
He'll never hear the end of that from his mates.

BBC RadioThat was an eventful powerplay, but I'd say Superchargers finish it on top.

Lyth 34, Hose 1
That's the end of an eventful Powerplay. That's the Superchargers' best Powerplay so far and a lot of it is thanks to Adam Lyth.
