8.46pm: Thanks for your company tonight and throughout a weekend of double-double-headers. We'll be back tomorrow with Fire vs Rockets from Cardiff. Until then, we're signing off.
Jamie Smith is the Match Hero. Moeen Ali is speaking to Sky: "We gave him the opportunity to bat No. 3 and he's stepped up. He was brilliant tonight. We got a score on the board. We thought we were a little bit light but Woakesy and Milney up front were brilliant. You get a win and it gives you confidence. We've had a bad start and have to win every game but we have the team and the bowlers to do that."
8.42pm: Phoenix seal their first win of the season with a statement performance, one which makes you wonder how they were bottom of the table at the halfway stage of the tournament. The last unbeaten record in the men's Hundred comes to an end as Invincibles suffer their first defeat, and that nasty injury to Cox will be a concern for them as well. Narine signs off for the season, replaced by Zampa, while Shadab Khan missed what was due to be his last game through illness - Tanveer Sangha is due to replace him.
Hari: "Always felt Phoenix was a strong T20 side and was surprised to see them at the bottom. They have proper T20 hitters like Ali, Liam and excellent pace battery. Happy to see them win today."
