Former England bowler on BBC TwoIt's already been 31 dot balls for the Phoenix, more than what the Originals had at this stage.
Phoenix 66-7published at 35 balls left
Matt Parkinson keeps it really tight, conceding just three runs from his second set of five balls.
It feels like the Originals are on their way to a big win.

Former England all-rounder on BBC TwoI've played with Phil Salt at Sussex, he's a great guy. Quite fiery, once he steps on to the pitch.

Put your hand up if you'd heard of Paul Walter before this tournament?
I can't imagine there was that many of you.
He has been exceptional throughout. He currently has figures of 1-1 from 10 balls.
One run conceded from 10 balls? Ridiculous.

Hmmmm. Phil Salt cannot believe this.
There was definitely a noise at some stage, but the technology shows there's no edge.
Umpire Alex Wharf has a little laugh.

Former England bowler on BBC TwoHe believes there's something on that, Phil Salt. He's gone to review that one straightaway this time, no hesitation.

Has Benny Howell been caught behind?
Manchester Originals seem convinced.
Phil Salt, who took too long to review earlier, wasted no time in making the T sign.

Dwarshuis b Hartley 0 (Phoenix 63-7)
Tom Hartley has four!
The left-arm spinner has bowled brilliantly. He's used the wicket to his advantage and skids another through an ugly heave by Ben Dwarshuis.
He finishes with 4-22 from his 20 balls. It is looking like a match-winning contribution.

D'Oliveira c Walter b Hartley 2 (Phoenix 63-6)
Say it quietly but Manchester Originals look a very, very good side all of a sudden.
It was a lose-lose situation for Brett D'Oliveira really. He had to go big, but he doesn't time his attempted sweep properly and it is an another easy catch on the boundary.
Manchester have been faultless in the field.

Former England bowler on BBC TwoWickets are always the order of the day. If you get a decent score, get enough wickets early on and keep chipping away, you continue to build pressure. I am surprised they don't have a slip here if I am being completely honest.

Target 155
Brilliant start from Matt Parkinson, conceding just two runs, alongside that wicket, from his first set of five.
"We haven't played some great shots," says legendary England player and Birmingham Phoenix coach Ian Bell.
You're not kidding, Ian.

Former England bowler on BBC TwoWe know how much damage he can do, Matthew Wade. It was the match-up we were talking about, the leg spinner to the left hander.

Wade c Evans b Parkinson 7 (Phoenix 63-5)
Is this the game?
Slow and loopy from Matt Parkinson and Matthew Wade just chips up a simple catch to Laurie Evans.
The Originals have been brilliant in the field so far.

This was a ridiculous shot from Tom Lammonby.
It is looking like his 12-ball 26 could end up being very important.

Former England bowler on BBC TwoStand and admire that one. Not a slog whatsoever, he just hit through the line of the ball. What a lovely shot, he made that look easy.

Target 155
Oh, that is glorious.
Matthew Wade just leans on one and perfectly finds the gap to pick up his first boundary.
Phoenix will need him to bat for the majority of this innings if they are going to get close you'd think.
