    0.2 pitched up, slashed to backward point! Howell pouches a flying catch and Phoenix are flying from the outset. Davies drives on the up but isn't in control as the ball nips away. He might still have got away with it, but for Howell swooping to his left to grab the chance with two hands 0/1
    14.4 fuller, floatier... and flubbed to deep midwicket! Howell strikes back and sends the Brave captain on his way. Knuckle ball, I think, just 62mph and Vince can't time the slog into the leg side. Simple take in the deep, Phoenix maintaining control 90/3
    12.4 goes for the scoop, sends it straight to the keeper! Milner's legcutter does the job and Phoenix break a doughty stand between du Plooy and Vince. No pace for him to work with, the ball jammed into the glove and looped tamely through to Smith 76/2
    17.1 banged in, slogged to long-on! Hard length from Milne and Evans fails in his attempt to go toe-to-toe. Got hold of it but without the power required and it's a straightforward take for the man back 104/5
    16.1 short with pace off, swung to deep midwicket! Pollard goes for the big baseball slug but it's only a home run in the sense that he has to mooch back to the dressing room. Brave still struggling for lift-off here 95/4

    19.1 short and helped off his hip... snaffled brilliantly on the rope! Bethell is the airborne Phoenix and it's another blinder to add to his collection. Coles shuffled across and flicked the ball high and handsome, almost certainly for six - until the point that Bethell dived full length and intercepted at deep backward square, managing to come down and avoid touching the boundary cushion as he did so 111/6

    2.3 holes out to wide long-on! Duckett aims a launch over the leg-side, out of the full length, he was deep in the crease but couldn't get under the stroke. Pollard tracked back from the edge of the ring and took it coolly over his shoulder. Duckett's first single-figure score of the competition 9/1
    9.5 stunner from Evans on the midwicket rope! Akeal gets his reward, as he serves up a tempter, tighter to the stumps, and luring Moeen into the slog-sweep. But Evans is right back on the boundary, and times his leap as the ball arrives flat and fast! 45/3
    5.3 Smith holes out to deep midwicket! That is the quality of this attack telling! Smith was looking good, but there are too many balls with the batters' names on them out there. Overton and Pollard are circling in the deep, Overton makes the call. Brave tighten their grip! 26/2
    19.2 holes out, another stinger to Evans! Flat length, following Livingstone as he makes room to leg, an absolute howitzer to square leg 124/7
    14.5 slower ball, Bethell doesn't get enough of it! He wound through the stroke, seizing on the full length, but lost all his timing. Pollard steadied himself well at long-off. A priceless wicket to end a very important partnership 93/4
    16.5 goes for the ramp, Archer has the breakthrough! It's a poor choice of shot from the last ball of his set. Falling across to the off-side like a left-handed Jos Buttler, flubbing his connection like a left-handed Alzarri Joseph 102/5
    18.2 pace off, Howell has a massive swing, and doesn't get enough of it! It was so nearly perfect, but it's the longest boundary out there, and Evans steadied himself well, timing his leap to claw it down, three yards from the rope 111/6
