3.40pm: A spluttering Phoenix innings, and you'd think this will take a monumental effort to defend - even if the pace is going out of the pitch. Joe Clarke top-scored with 36 off 27 but there was little else going for them, as Michael Bracewell's offspin accounted for three wickets and Jofra Archer impressed at both ends of the innings. Back shortly to see if Phoenix can quiten the home crowd...

Here's Chris Jordan with the Brave perspective at halfway: "Feels good, nice to contribute. Thought it was a real good effort from the boys, a really good wicket and probably under par. [Duckett out cheaply] Planning was good today. You have to execute and I was lucky to get the rewards. Ducky is a quality player so to keep him quiet in the powerplay and then get his wicket was great. [Surface?] Think it's a good pitch. Our attack has good variety so they had to reset. That contributed to us restricting them."

Jordan to Howell, 2 runs, full toss, heaved down the ground without timing and they push for two. Brave finish happy with their work. Not much more than a hill of beans to chase
