Live Reporting

Sam Drury and Ffion Wynne

  1. 6 runs

    Phoenix 98-5

    He's had enough of dabbing the singles.

    Liam Livingstone smashes Rehan Ahmed down the ground for six valuable runs.

  2. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Liam Livingstone holds the key for Birmingham Phoenix.

  3. Phoenix 90-5

    How much damage can Liam Livingstone do in 20 balls, then?

  4. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    You'd expect him to take that. How costly will that be?

  5. dropped catch

    Livingstone dropped on 9

    Phoenix 89-5

    Oh, tough one.

    Colin Ackermann runs in from deep square, but it's very low to the ground and the ball just drops in front of him as he dives forward.

  6. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Benny Howell can hit a long ball. He saw that straight from the hand and really got hold of it.

    Clean hitting.

  7. 6 runs

    Phoenix 88-5

    Where did that come from?!

    Benny Howell clubs it over mid-wicket like a baseball swing for six!

    A few more of those would be welcomed.

  8. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    There is just no timing out there for the Phoenix. Even someone as good and strikes the ball as well as Liam Livingstone is finding it hard.

  9. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Tymal Mills has got such a good slower ball, it's so deceiving when he can bowl 90mph as well.

    You just don't want to become predictable.

  10. Phoenix 79-5

    The perfect conditions for Tymal Mills.

    He mixes up his pace expertly, and Liam Livingstone can't find any timing.

    Mills has 1-8 from 10 balls so far.

  11. Phoenix 76-5

    There is a lot of work for Liam Livingstone to do now if Phoenix are going to get to a defendable total.

    He's still there with eight from 11 balls.

  12. Jofra Archer
    England fast bowler on BBC Two

    Devon Conway made that take look a lot easier that it was. It went a long way down leg.

  13. Heather Knight
    England captain on BBC Two

    Plenty of turn and Rehan Ahmed is making the most of it.

    I reckon he saw Dan Mousley coming and just fired it down the leg side.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Mousley st Conway b Ahmed 11 (Phoenix 73-5)

    Gone! Rehan Ahmed has three!

    It's drifting down the leg side, signalled wide, but Mousley takes a stride and tries to whip it off his legs.

    He misses, tries to scramble back but Devon Conway finishes the job.

  15. Heather Knight
    England captain on BBC Two

    I think that's out.

  16. Umpire review

    It's a wide down the leg side, but has Dan Mousley been stumped?

  17. Heather Knight
    England captain on BBC Two

    Birmingham Phoenix can go from eighth to second if they win this game. It's great for the supporters.

  18. Phoenix 71-4

    A rare boundary!

    A bit of innovation from Dan Mousley, reverse-sweeping Colin Ackermann for four.

    But it's a solid spell from the spinner, finishing with 1-19 from his 20 balls.

  19. Jofra Archer
    England fast bowler on BBC Two

    James Vince is doing really well shuffling his bowlers around, everyone is chipping in.

  20. Phoenix 65-4

    Tick, tick, tick.

    Liam Livingstone is gradually getting his way in, but it feels like something's going to give soon.
