- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 full and a bit of late inswing as he plays across it bang on target! Pitched on middle and raps the front pad, he's out lbw and he accepts the decision. Oh, HawkEye had it missing leg by a fraction! Should have reviewed 6/13.5 and there's his undoing. Pitched just outside off, he goes to hit down the ground but is cramped for room and edges to Tim Southee at short third! 16/24.1 back of a length, he shapes to drive and hits straight to backward point! Sean Abbott takes a comfortable catch and Rockets are three down already 16/319.1 on a length and outside off, he goes down the ground again but doesn't get enough on it and the fielder just inside the rope - Mousley - collects 115/75.5 length ball, raps the front pad in front and Phoenix appeal given out lbw! Powell walks. A question whether it pitched outside leg, but replays show it didn't and would have gone on to clip the top of off 22/417.1 pace on, pitched on middle and leg, struck back towards the bowler... Imad Wasim is retired and in comes Chris Green! Big call... 99/518.3 shorter ball, on off stump, Green is cramped up and slaps it to mid-off where Sean Abbott steps to his right to take a comfortable catch! 108/619.2 on middle, not a good connection as that sails high into the air and into the waiting hands of Jacob Bethell at midwicket! Tim Southee has four wickets! 117/819.3 pitching on middle and bam! Leg stump is ripped out of the ground as the ball slides through the gate and into the woodwork! 117/919.5 worked to the leg side, the ball is fired in by Ben Duckett to Smith and it's a run out! Rockets are bowled out for 118! 118/10Extras13 (nb 2, w 11)TOTAL118 all out (20 Overs, RR: 5.9 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tom Banton, 1.3 ov), 2-16 (Alex Hales, 3.5 ov), 3-16 (Joe Root, 4.1 ov), 4-22 (Rovman Powell, 5.5 ov), 5-99 (Imad Wasim, 17.1 ov), 6-108 (Chris Green, 18.3 ov), 7-115 (Tom Alsop, 19.1 ov), 8-117 (Lewis Gregory, 19.2 ov), 9-117 (Sam Cook, 19.3 ov), 10-118 (John Turner, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 big appeal for both lbw and caught behind... Duckett reviews but there must be a good chance that one of the two modes of dismissal is successful! Length ball, nips back and is near the inside-edge as Duckett looks to work leg-side, but there's no inside edge. Hit him high on the back pad, around the flap. Umpire's call on impact and clipping off stump, so the decision stands! 33/17.3 dragged across the line, Green settles underneath it! The missed run-out doesn't prove costly. Banged in halfway down, Moeen swings hard looking to slog into the Hollies, but miscues it via the splice as Green runs around from mid-on to take the catch 52/33.3 poked to slip, Rockets have lift-off! Angling across the right-hander, back of a length, Smith shapes to back-cut but just ends up poking tentatively at it and steers it to Root 33/27.4 and his quiet Hundred continues! Squared up and nicked to slip! 86mph, angling across him, Mousley looks to defend off the back foot into the leg side but only manages a leading edge which flies to Root, who makes no mistake tumbling to his left. Turner jumps in celebration then wheels away 52/4Extras9 (lb 3, nb 4, w 2)TOTAL120/4 (18.3 Overs, RR: 6.45 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Ben Duckett, 3.2 ov), 2-33 (Jamie Smith, 3.3 ov), 3-52 (Moeen Ali, 7.3 ov), 4-52 (Dan Mousley, 7.4 ov)
