9.07pm: Phoenix need 42 off 30 to reach the eliminator... actually, a tie will do, so they need 41 to progress. Just three fours and a six in the Originals' innings... looks like it should be a straightforward chase, but who knows, maybe Farooqi will run through them with the new ball... back shortly for the second innings.
Tom Hartley is the Originals' No. 7 tonight.

Chris Wood, not Sean Abbott, will bowl the final five balls of the innings. Over the wicket, bigger leg-side boundary for the right-handers

Craig: "30 ball game means Originals can't damage their net run rate enough to finish bottom... it's the little wins for us Originals fans!"
Bethell has topped up his peroxide-blonde hair dye since the Phoenix's last game...
Sikandar Raza walks out with seven balls to play with.
