Trent Boult: "It hasn't gone to plan so far as a group. A big job on our hands this afternoon, that's for sure. In this format, the number one rule is reading the conditions. Abbreviated format compared to what I'm used to. It's a good wicket, they played very well throughout the innings. I'm sure our batsmen will come out hard to try and chase this down."
7.51pm: 181 to win for the Phoenix. That's the highest total in the Hundred this year - men's or women's - and represents an excellent recovery from the two-time reigning champions after Trent Boult's early wickets. Jordan Cox got things moving, before Donovan Ferreira took over through the second half. 52 scored off the last 20, with Rashid Khan chipping in at the death - with plenty of extras helping the Invincibles' cause. Alan Gardner will be here shortly for the chase.
Rashid Khan c Smeed b Howell 16 (16m 9b 0x4 2x6) SR: 177.77
Superb from Ferreira. 63 off 29. This is an exceptional effort from 12 for 2 after 15 balls.
D Ferreira c Bethell b Howell 63 (36m 29b 4x4 6x6) SR: 217.24
Howell is Phoenix's Plan B at the death.
