- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 attempted ramp, but bowled behind his legs! Du Plessis shaped to the off side, trying to take advantage of Helm's heavy balls, but that was a fraction too full to get underneath. Phoenix have their opening 37/17.3 bowled him! Lyth swings once too often, just back of a length from Moeen and sliding straight on, pegs back off stump while the batter is staring out towards midwicket after a violent slog-sweep. The end of a fine innings 74/29.2 outside off, cut to Tahir at backward point! A sharp flashing chance, half cut, half drive, and snaffled by the old poser, arm-pit high to his right. Another timely strike 85/310.3 splatters the stumps as Moeen grabs another! Round the wicket again, just hustling through a touch quicker as Willey hauled to the leg side, and missed 92/412.4 heaved straight down the throat of long-off! Tahir looped it up, Simpson got underneath the drive over the covers, a spiralling chance to Benjamin right back on the boundary sponge 99/517.3 wide line again, a low full toss, slashed to deep point! Super take from Hammond, stooping to his left inside the rope to cut off a fast-travelling ball.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 powered at Faf, who takes it before it takes his head off! Looking to smoke another boundary down the ground but Smeed doesn't get the elevation this time. Straight at mid-off, where the Northern Superchargers captain stumbles backwards, such was the ferocity of the shot, but holds on 45/110.3 chipped to long-on, taken on the run! Pace off again, I think, and Hammond falls looking for the big hit. Couldn't get the timing, Brook proves a safe pair of hands coming around 68/55.4 banged in, slogged towards long-on - taken! Stand-and-deliver stuff, he was hitting to the short side of the ground but didn't get enough of it. Willey takes out one of Birmingham's Big Two 53/26.4 plinked to cover, Edgbaston is silenced! Short and wide and Moeen guides it straight into the hands of Willey. Supers plan comes together, though Miles looks a bit embarrassed to celebrate the dismissal 57/38.4 reversed into the gloves, Rashid strikes! Slider outside off and Wade's attempt to manufacture something to the shorter part of the ground brings about his downfall. Just brushed some glove on the way through to Simpson, who held it well. Supers are taking charge here 62/413.2 Raine takes a blinder at mid-off! Full and wide of the stumps, Benjamin was across to take it on, but his drive can't clear the man. Taken at full stretch going to his left. Bravo brings out some (questionable?) dancefloor moves in celebration 91/618.1 pace off and slogged leg side... taken in the deep! Howell had to go for it and swung a fair old hit out towards the long boundary. But Miles was running around from deep midwicket and took it well 114/719.4 bowled 'im! Helm is well across his stumps and Raine fires it full behind the legs, rattles the poles. Picks up a wicket at the end of an expensive outing 131/918.2 off stump flattened! Perfectly pitched slower ball and Brookes misses it completely, the ball spinning through to hit the target. Phoenix eight down, the jig almost up 114/8Extras16 (nb 2, w 14)TOTAL137/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Will Smeed, 4.4 ov), 2-53 (Liam Livingstone, 5.4 ov), 3-57 (Moeen Ali, 6.4 ov), 4-62 (Matthew Wade, 8.4 ov), 5-68 (Miles Hammond, 10.3 ov), 6-91 (Chris Benjamin, 13.2 ov), 7-114 (Benny Howell, 18.1 ov), 8-114 (Henry Brookes, 18.2 ov), 9-131 (Tom Helm, 19.4 ov)
