7.15pm: Some defiant blows at the end from Chris Jordan, after James Vince and Leus du Plooy painstakingly laid the platform. Will that be enough to test a somewhat flaky Phoenix batting order? You would think Moeen Ali's side will be the happier walking off, but Vince has a handy attack of his own to call on and will know this ain't over until it's over. Join Miller shortly for the chase

Here's a word with Adam Milne, who took 3 for 18: "Little bit of a tricky wicket, some swing early and indifferent bounce. Good to restrict them, hopefully we can knock them off. [Kookaburra ball] Bit of a thicker seam and it seems to be moving around at bit. Nice to have something on the bowlers' side. [Variations] Just trying to get a rhythm and decide when the best moment to pull them out."

Abbott to Coles, OUT, short and helped off his hip... snaffled brilliantly on the rope! Bethell is the airborne Phoenix and it's another blinder to add to his collection. Coles shuffled across and flicked the ball high and handsome, almost certainly for six - until the point that Bethell dived full length and intercepted at deep backward square, managing to come down and avoid touching the boundary cushion as he did so

JM Coles c Bethell b Abbott 4 (7m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Abbott will close out

Milne to Evans, OUT, banged in, slogged to long-on! Hard length from Milne and Evans fails in his attempt to go toe-to-toe. Got hold of it but without the power required and it's a straightforward take for the man back

LJ Evans c Livingstone b Milne 14 (18m 10b 1x4 1x6) SR: 140.00

Milne to bowl out

Wood to Pollard, OUT, short with pace off, swung to deep midwicket! Pollard goes for the big baseball slug but it's only a home run in the sense that he has to mooch back to the dressing room. Brave still struggling for lift-off here

KA Pollard c Mousley b Wood 2 (5m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

Wood for his last set
