3b to JL Smith, Boult hits the mark, another first-over wicket for him in T20s! Big in-ducker on middle stump and Smith yorks himself trying to come down! Aiming for an expansive drive but is instead bowled for a two-ball duck. No repeat of his lynchpin knock at the top in Spirit's last game. 3/1 96b to AJ Turner, yorks him, leg stump! Turner doesn't have time for niceties like defence at this stage. Swings hard across the line and turns to see that the ball has slipped under his bat to disturb the bails. Superb from Boult. Spirit just can't get away. 122/6 | ||||||||||

30b to DA Warner, floated up... and dollied to mid-off! Both openers gone cheaply. Warner hadn't found his rhythm and falls looking to force a shot over the infield. Celebrated with a leaping fist pump by Phoenix's captain. Seems to be some beef between Warner and Livingstone there, though not sure what's behind it. 39/2 63b to OJ Pope, sweeps, but the top edge sails to short fine! Pope pays the price for looking to push the score on. Hard sweep but it balloons up behind square for a straightforward catch to the man inside the ring. 81/4 | ||||||||||

84b to SR Dickson, full toss, miscued to long-on! No pace for Dickson to work with, possibly a knuckle ball. Tries to drag it down the ground from wide, but never has the distance. Taken safely by Duckett jogging in. 108/5 | ||||||||||
| 15 | 4 | 16 | 1 | 1.06 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | ||
52b to KS Williamson, oh gone, bowled behind his legs! Rare error from Williamson, who was looking to ramp the ball into the leg side... but moved too far across his stumps and failed to make contact. Instead, the ball hit leg stump right in the mush. 67/3 | ||||||||||

2b to WCF Smeed, Got him! Gorgeous inswinging yorker, clattering the base of off stump. Smeed just completely done. Trent Boult come outside, Luke Wood wants to talk. 0/1 | ||||||||||

40b to JM Clarke, Launched over to midwicket... and taken by Pope! Worrall delivered a slower ball that Clarke snatched at. But he's gone some way to knocking off a chunk of this chase on his own.... 68/3 | ||||||||||

30b to BM Duckett, Huge breakthrough! Duckett's wayward competition comes to an end. Dawson goes across Duckett with a wide delivery that should have been carted away but is nailed straight to Williamson at extra cover, who takes a comfortable catch to his right. 46/2 | ||||||||||
