7:50pm Big ask for Birmingham Phoenix, who will need their home-grown batting line-up to do the business here. The pitch is a belter and Headingley does love a bit of drama. Can they topple the highest total of the last two seasons? Alan Gardner will be with you soon to find out

Boult to Brook, 2 runs, Yorker nailed, 78mph, dug out by Brook down to long on for a couple. The 200 dream dies but in part because of an excellent comeback from Boult after an expensive first 15. Quality death bowling. Still, 194 is a tough target...

Boult to Brook, 2 runs, Tight to the stumps... slapped to extra cover...but Southee has put it down! Tumbling forward, the ball ends up through Southee and does allow Brook to return for the strike with a ball to go

Boult to Lawrence, OUT, Taken at deep point! Some strike from Lawrence, getting a wide delivery off a length and stunning it flat... but plucked out of the air by Smeed, who was right on the sponge

Boult to Brook, 1 run, Low full toss, Brook goes after it but mistimes to deep extra cover

So here we go. Last 5... is 200 on the cards? Trent Boult with his last 5 - 0 for 36 from 15 so far - has the honour of closing out the innings...
