    0.2 nailed to mid-off! Wry smile from Jacks. Fullish inswinger, Jacks charges down to turn it into a half-volley. He absolutely drills this straight at Livingstone, who can barely believe his luck as he clings onto a stinger 0/1
    2.5 timber! Feet stuck in the crease. Angling in on a good length and makes a mess of Muyeye's stumps. Nothing shot to a good ball 12/2
    14.3 superb from Bethell in the deep! Angled across the right-hander from around the wicket, and Cox looks to swing it over the Hollies Stand. Hangs in the air for a long, long time as Bethell runs around to his left from deep midwicket, and he tumbles over to complete the catch. Top work in the deep 114/5
    5.4 edged behind! Clarke takes the catch at the second attempt. Curran confers with Cox and opts against the review. Short ball, pace and bounce off the pitch. Curran swats at it cross-batted, and it skews through off the top edge. Clarke initially fumbled, but gathered his composure 34/3
    10.3 full on the pads, top-edged sweep lobs up to Bethell at deep midwicket! No timing, lobs up harmlessly and Bethell runs 10 yards in off the rope to gobble up the chance. Livingstone wins the battle 77/4
    19.2 back of a length, looks to swing him over midwicket with another vicious jab. But this one flies away off the top edge, and Bethell races in off the rope to make this catch look extremely simple 177/7
    16.2 nicks him off! 89mph, effort ball on a good length. Curran has a flash and edges through to Clarke. Punches the air and roars "come on!" in celebration 129/6
    19.5 sits up from a good length, good catch by Smeed running in off the square leg boundary! Swung away leg-side, and gets his hands underneath it 180/8

    10.4 runs through him! Fires in the slider and Smeed is cramped on the back foot, deflects off the pads and hits leg stump. Sowter roars in celebration, an important wicket for Invincibles 91/3
    2.3 yorks him! Full, fast and scudding into the base off stump! Duckett throws back his head, it's been a competition to forget for him so far. Mahmood right on the money and gets the breakthrough for Invincibles 10/1
    8.5 slapped into the deep, does Rashid get fingers under the ball? Yes, he certainly does! Running in from the cover boundary, he's not there but throws himself forward and manages to hold an extraordinary sliding catch to see off Clarke. Length ball, skewed on the drive. Doesn't get away with it 73/2

    13.2 Bethell goes big, goes home! Tries to hammer a length ball over long-off but mishits the ball high into the Birmingham sky. Simple catch for the fielder running in off the rope. Invincibles tightening their grip 111/4
    19.1 low full toss, pinned! Up goes the finger, but Mousley reviews. Did he hit it? No, says UltraEdge. Struck on the back leg in line with off stump... Umpire's call on the base of off, so Mousley will walk off! Invincibles fighting to the end 178/5
    19.2 yorks him first ball! Beautifully bowled, Kimber's feet are stuck in treacle as the ball thunders into the base of off stump! Mahmood takes out two in two and Phoenix fans might just be getting nervous here 178/6
