Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC TwoYou can't comprehend how huge Paul Walter is until you stand next to him. I consider myself quite tall but he's massive!
Phoenix 54-4published at 60 balls left
It is worth remembering that Paul Walter was a late replacement for Jamie Overton. He's been brilliant for Manchester Originals.
He's now got nine wickets, which means he goes joint fifth in the wicket-takers list this year.
The left-armer has done his chances of getting a contract next year and in franchise leagues around the world no harm at all.

Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC TwoAs soon as Smeed hit it he knew. That is a huge wicket in this game. It heaps even more pressure on Matthew Wade.

Smeed c Hartley b Walter 31 (Phoenix 54-4)
Tall Paul gets the big wicket!
Paul Walter bangs the ball in a little bit shorter and Will Smeed looks to take it on, but it gets a little big on him and a top edge is comfortably held by Tom Hartley on the boundary.
He even turns round and gives the Hollies a little fist pump.
The win predictor is now 82-18 in Originals' favour.

Benjamin run out (Madsen) 13 (Phoenix 53-3)
He has! Brilliant direct hit from Wayne Madsen.
Chris Benjamin just looks to drop and run but Madsen gets around quickly, gathers and then very intelligently settles himself for a split second and his throw is deadly accurate and flattens the stumps.
Benjamin knew immediately. He just put his bat under his arm and started to stroll off.
He was a real star of last year's tournament but he's struggled this year and he did today too, with his 13 coming off 15 balls.

Brilliant from Wayne Madsen.
Has Chris Benjamin been run out?

Isa Guha
Former England bowler on BBC TwoThat's a 'help yourself' delivery. That's gone 20 rows back! Brutal hit.

Target 155
Oh no. That is help yourself bowling from Tom Hartley.
A knee-height full toss on the pads of Will Smeed and the 20-year-old opener just whips it away and over the ropes.
It went an absolute mile.
Smeed dropped on 23published at 69 balls left
I feel like a terrible person for calling this a drop, but you know, it has hit Tom Hartley's hand so I've got to, really.
Will Smeed smashes it back towards the left-arm spinner and it travels like an absolute bullet and hits Hartley's hand and then goes into his mouth and chest.
A sore one.

Target 155
Another good set of five from Fredrich Klaasen conceding just five runs.
Win predictor is now 59-41 in Manchester Originals' favour. This could go down to the wire.

Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC TwoYou heard the sound, the crack of the bat like a shotgun going off! This is pretty predictable bowling now.
A good powerplay for the Manchester Originals though, picking up couple of huge wickets from the early gamble.
Phoenix 39-2published at 75 balls left
Target 155
Will Smeed is in the mood, folks.
He crunches away a pull for four, before Tristan Stubbs goes even shorter and Smeed just whacks it away for the first six of the chase.
Smeed, century aside, has had a quiet tournament but he looks on it tonight.

Commentator on BBC TwoBit of shape, that's a terrific yorker. It knocked him out of his feet.
Phoenix 27-2published at 80 balls left
Target 155
Lovely stuff. Left-arm seamer Fredrick Klaassen goes full and there is plenty of movement too, so it ends up flattening Chris Benjamin, who uses his bat as a stick along the pitch to keep him semi upright.
Oh! More movement from Klaassen and Will Smeed has a swipe at fresh air and the ball only just misses leg stump.
Brilliant start from Klaassen, conceding just three runs from his first five balls.

Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC TwoThat was just stand and deliver! It wasn't that short either. This crowd will start getting behind their team too.
Phoenix 24-2published at 85 balls left
Target 155
The last-ball boundary again. It really is a killer.
Josh Little had come back well with just three runs following the first-ball four but he drops a little short and Will Smeed just crunches it away.
He dealt with that with real disdain.

Ravi Bopara
Former England all-rounder on BBC TwoAnother ramp, as I said, youngsters play it so often these days it's almost criminal to have fine leg up.
Phoenix 17-2published at 89 balls left
Something seems to be happening every ball at the moment.
Ireland left-arm seamer Josh Little comes into the attack and Chris Benjamin ramps his first ball away to the boundary.
No need to have a look these days.
