  1. 6 runs

    Phoenix 76-2published at 51 balls

    Moeen is getting into his own here. Another massive six over deep square leg.

    Was a nothing length from Milnes and it sat up nicely for Moeen.

  3. Phoenix 70-2published at 50 balls

    Hasnain has gotten away with one here. He banged the free hit delivery in short and Livingstone couldn't quite make a good enough connection to clear the fence with his hook.

    Tidy comeback in the end, that could've been a lot worse for Hasnain and the Invincibles.

    The short ball is a weakness for Moeen Ali. But in the shortest version of the game, Moeen Ali attacks the short ball and it almost becomes a strength.

  5. 6 runs

    And Moeen breaks the shackles with a massive heave over deep square leg.

  6. Phoenix 58-2published at 45 balls

    That's another very tight set from Narine, he's conceded just 13 off his 15 deliveries and has also got a wicket against his name.

    Get the feeling the Phoenix batters are just happy to see him off.

    Hasnain runs in for the next set.

    Will Smeed got off to a blistering start, but he fell attempting one big shot too many.

    Sam Curran has just gone with five attempted yorkers. It feels as if he's doing death bowling in the middle overs, trying to break the momentum.

  9. Phoenix 55-2published at 40 balls

    The Invincibles continue to keep the opposition in check.

    Curran was excellent in that set, mostly bowled yorkers at their toes and never allowed them to even think of a boundary.

    Right, Livingstone has faced seven balls, how many more before he goes big?

    After the women's match I spoke to Phoenix captain Sophie Devine who described this pitch as a belter. She put their disappointing score of 106-7 down to batter error rather than the surface.

    Could we be in for a big total here?

  11. Phoenix 49-2published at 35 balls

    The Phoenix recognise that this is an important partnership and they're just taking things easy at the moment.

    They're happy to knock the ball around and rotate the strike.

    You don't need me to tell you though that these two are more than capable of catching up.

    It feels like it has either been four or dot.

    Narine is asked to bowl another set and his captain will be happy.

    The wicket has definitely shifted some of the momentum back in the Invincibles' favour.

    What a perfect batter to be coming out to the middle in this position.

    Liam Livingstone has a foundation to play on.

    Hammond switches his feet very early to play that shot. He'd just smashed a six, I'm not sure there's any need for that.

    Hammond c Rossouw b Narine 17 (Phoenix 41-2)

    That's a good comeback from Narine.

    That wicket was perhaps a result of the previous two deliveries that Narine fired in flatter.

    Hammond, expecting something similar, sets up for a switch-hit and top-edges it to Rossouw at fine leg.

    Hammond is playing his shots. He's taking advantage of the powerplay. That's why he's top of the order.

    There is a problem with the cricket ball now after it has smashed into that concrete wall.

  19. 6 runs

    Phoenix 41-1published at 22 balls

    Hammond isn't slowing down.

    It's in his zone again and he swings hard to clear the deep mid-wicket fence.

  20. Phoenix 35-1published at 20 balls

    The Phoenix are still scoring at a decent clip. Smeed set the tone and Hammond is carrying it through.

    The Invincibles answer by bringing Sunil Narine on.
