9.21 pm The Phoenix break a major gridlock on the table to move two points clear of much of the field - including Oval Invincibles - and now sit on eight points, tied for second place with London Spirit. They trail only the Trent Rockets who are in first place with 10 points.
Kane Richardson is the Match Hero taking 3 for 22: "It's always nice to win. That's a tough ground to defend on. The feedback at the halfway point was there was plenty of pace and bounce in the wicket. Tom Helm did a very nice job in the middle and there and getting both Curran brothers, he should probably be standing here to be honest. They're a team that just keeps coming so to get a win at this stage is massive. I think we know we're going to be a pretty hard team to beat at home so to get this win is big. Destiny is in our hands."
That's it for our coverage tonight. Come back tomorrow for another doubleheader featuring the London Spirit and Welsh Fire. On behalf of Andrew Miller, I'm Peter Della Penna. See you all tomorrow!
Three sixes and a four are needed from here. You never know... Here's Hasnain arriving at the crease.
ME Milnes c Richardson b Howell 4 (6m 2b 1x4 0x6) SR: 200.00
Howell to bowl the final set with an extra fielder forced into the ring.
So 22 needed off the final set of five balls. The cutoff time has passed. An extra fielder has to come into the ring now for the final five balls. So still some hope for the Invincibles.
