- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 Wider of the crease, scythed up in the air... taken by Thompson tracking the ball back from midwicket! 8/17.2 Out as out can be... Fuller, flatter, beating Duckett's sweep and pinning him low down on the back thigh in front of all three. Duckett doesn't bother reviewing 56/28.2 Swung to the short side... but it's not short enough for such a tame strike! Rashid Khan doesn't have to move and Gregory is in the wickets. All told, a poor shot from Livingstone 61/39.3 'Rooooooooot' rings out around Trent Bridge! And he's bagged Moeen Ali, with a slightly shorter length that the Phoenix captain punches aerially to Gregory at cover, who takes an excellent catch low to his right 66/413.1 Gone! Rashid Khan back into the attack and immediately strikes with the wicket of Bethell. Wood took it very low running in from cow corner. The batter takes his word that it was a clean catch, which is always nice to see (because it was) 83/514.5 Chopped on! Cook has not been at his best, but a short ball does the trick, surprisingly Howell, who pulls on instinct and bottom edges into his own stumps 94/6Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL138/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Aneurin Donald, 1.2 ov), 2-56 (Ben Duckett, 7.2 ov), 3-61 (Liam Livingstone, 8.2 ov), 4-66 (Moeen Ali, 9.3 ov), 5-83 (Dan Mousley, 13.1 ov), 6-94 (Benny Howell, 14.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Oh no, Tom Banton what have you done?! He's got the right idea as Milne goes full, attempting a ramp but he gets it too high and Southee is lurking at third to take a simple catch 13/112.2 Yeah, that's reverse! 90mph yorker does for Hales! And it'd do for anyone who opens up their stumps in the way Hales did there. Right into the base of middle stump 89/39.2 Big wicket! The ball isn't that short, but Root gets under it and swings it flat towards square leg... but Mousley does superbly to take a catch on the move, skidding on his knees for the final moments. Howell has probably deserved that and good captaincy from Moeen to keep him going 74/217.4 OH WOW IS THAT OUT?! It is! Gregory works the ball to Milne at third, who collects and throws in an instant, catching Hain fractionally short of his ground! I'd like to revise my earlier statement (two balls ago) - this game is very much on 125/517.3 Short... slashed high.... and stunningly caught by Bethell! He charges in from extra cover on the long side and has to put in a Superman dive to make the rest of the distance. How he's onto that, I'll never know... epic grab 125/418.3 Bowled him! This match... that's one of the best yorkers you'll see from a spinner. Fired in, getting Gregory in a tangle as he tries to hit across the line. Woweeeee 129/619.3 MOUSLEY WITH ANOTHER YORKER! Rashid goes, and Rockets might be crashing back down to earth in spectacular fashion! The speed gun has that at 76mph - surely not?! 132/719.4 Straight up in the air... and Southee takes the catch! Stunning stuff from Mousley, who is now on a hat-trick 132/8Extras11 (lb 7, nb 4)TOTAL132/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6 per 6 ball)Did not bat: SJ CookFall of wickets: 1-13 (Tom Banton, 2.3 ov), 2-74 (Joe Root, 9.2 ov), 3-89 (Alex Hales, 12.2 ov), 4-125 (Rovman Powell, 17.3 ov), 5-125 (Sam Hain, 17.4 ov), 6-129 (Lewis Gregory, 18.3 ov), 7-132 (Rashid Khan, 19.3 ov), 8-132 (Jordan Thompson, 19.4 ov)
