Commentator: Alan Gardner

9.35pm: Squeaky bum time, but Birmingham Phoenix prevail! Finally, the men's Hundred gets a close finish, though it was an undistinguished scuffle for much of the 200 balls. Spirit showed spirit to recover from 30 for 5 and then reduce Phoenix to 20 for 4 in their chase, but Dan Mousley and Jacob Bethell rebuilt the innings and Benny Howell was there to get them over the line

Sean Abbott is the Match Hero: "Feedback was it was doing a bit, present the seam and hit the top of off. Got a couple of early wickets. Not going for runs is the most important bit. All the games have the opportunity to get tight at the end. First two games have favoured bowlers. Tonight it moved around a bit and both teams bowled well. Six games to go, I'm sure we'll be challenged. It wasn't the easiest wicket but the two young blokes batted well to get us close to home."

Okay, folks, that's yer lot. We'll be back for more tomorrow, with day three of the Test at Edgbaston and Welsh Fire vs Oval Invincibles as the Hundred heads to Cardiff. See ya!

Dawson to Abbott, no run, flighted, Abbott is across looking to slog-sweep, hit on the pads. Muted appeal for lbw... and after quite some time, Lawrence reviews. Looked to be going well down leg, but let's see. Yep, clearly missing

Dawson to Abbott, no run, zipped down and straightening, just misses leg stump! Pressure mounting
