7.45pm: 139 to win for the Fire. It's a score on the board for the Phoenix, but not a great one by any means. The Fire's fingerspinners bowled tightly on a dry surface but the Phoenix left a few out there, with Smeed, Clarke and Livingstone all getting starts but falling before they reached 25. Bethell's 38 was the only real score of note. Back shortly for the chase.

Green to Boult, OUT, you miss, I hit. Green finishes with three wickets, going fast, full and flat. Boult has a big heave and is knocked over

Green to Boult, SIX, drag-down, swung over Smith's head at long-on! Horrible from Green. Attempted legcutter gone wrong, sits up from a good length, and Boult toe-ends him back over his head

W
Green to Bethell, OUT, picks out long-on! Green doesn't opt for the yorker, spearing this in on a good length, and Bethell looks to swing hard into the gap between long-on and midwicket. But he goes a little too straight, and Kellaway is in the action yet again, taking a straightforward chance just off the rope
JG Bethell c Kellaway b Green 38 (40m 28b 2x4 3x6) SR: 135.71
It will be Green. Nice call from Abell, not tempted to go back to seam for the sake of it. Around the wicket
