- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 in the slot, Benjamin has a wild heave towards the leg side but doesn't pick the slower ball and skies it hiiiiiigh into the evening sky... and QdK settles underneath it, running forward and round to his right 31/17.1 chopped on! Back of a length, angling across the left-hander, Moeen looks to glide it away through the off side behind square but inside-edges onto the bottom of off stump. Cutter, which Moeen didn't seem to pick 57/215.5 full googly, Livingstone shuffles across and looks to hammer him over the leg side... but gets a leading edge to Vince at cover! 137/319.1 on a length, mistimed straight to mid-off Looking to go over mid-on but got a leading edge 169/4Extras9 (nb 2, w 7)TOTAL176/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Chris Benjamin, 3.3 ov), 2-57 (Moeen Ali, 7.1 ov), 3-137 (Liam Livingstone, 15.5 ov), 4-169 (Matthew Wade, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 on a length, skids through Vince! Huge wicket for Phoenix given Vince's form. On a length, not much pace in the pitch, and Vince gets a thick inside edge which deflects the ball onto leg stump 18/15.2 banged in short, only 84mph but it's too quick for de Kock, rushing him on the pull which he plinks straight up, and Brookes gobbles it up in his follow-through! Huge wicket 45/32.3 blinding catch at short fine leg! Slower ball on a length, Stoinis looks to pull it away off the hip with no timing. Brookes on the 45 leaps to his left and holds onto a great catch! 21/212.3 cleaned up by a dipping slow full toss! Davies jumps across to scoop and is deceived by the back-of-the-hand slower ball. It's a full-bunger which crashes into the top of leg stump and Brookes races off in celebration after dismissing his county team-mate 93/58.5 great catch at deep midwicket from Howell! On the right hip, pulled out into the deep. Very flat, but Howell ran around to his left and took a sharp low catch. David fails to make an impact and Brave are in serious trouble 71/414.2 full outside off, slog-swept out to Brookes at deep backward square! 105/812.5 skidding into the pad, loud appeal for lbw as it deflects into the off side. Moeen reviews. Looked like it was going down... but it's crashing into the top of leg stump! Brookes has four, Phoenix have six! 93/613.2 yorker, pins him in front of off stump and Nick Cook raises the finger! Brookes has FIVE! Shuffled across looking to whip through leg, hits him on the shin... looked like it was missing off stump to me, but Garton decides against the review 97/716.3 through him with an inch-perfect yorker! 123/916.5 knocks out his leg stump! Another brilliant yorker, Richardson has a third and Brave are bowled out 123/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL123 all out (17 Overs, RR: 7.23 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (James Vince, 1.1 ov), 2-21 (Marcus Stoinis, 2.3 ov), 3-45 (Quinton de Kock, 5.2 ov), 4-71 (Tim David, 8.5 ov), 5-93 (Alex Davies, 12.3 ov), 6-93 (James Fuller, 12.5 ov), 7-97 (George Garton, 13.2 ov), 8-105 (Ross Whiteley, 14.2 ov), 9-123 (Chris Jordan, 16.3 ov), 10-123 (Tymal Mills, 16.5 ov)
