13b to BM Duckett, knocks him over! Low full toss, angling across the left-hander, but Duckett plays too far away from his body and can only deflect it straight onto the base of his stumps via the inside edge! 90mph, the pace works its magic. Duckett trudges off. 12/1 91b to BAC Howell, full outside off, Howell shuffles across to scoop... and Payne scoops it up just before it hits the turf! Brilliant work at deep fine leg. Howell gets a decent piece of it, but Payne races across to his right, dives at full stretch, and makes sure that he holds onto it as his body hits the hard outfield. Top work in the deep from the big fast bowler!. 124/6 | ||||||||||

49b to LS Livingstone, nicks him off, Singh Dale is pumped! Looks for a repeat dose, stepping across and looking to heave leg-side. But this is a much better length, outside off stump, and takes the outside edge. Bairstow pouches it, and Livingstone is out of here!. 76/4 | ||||||||||

32b to JM Clarke, loops up, and Kellaway settles underneath it! Another offbreak, speared in halfway down. Clarke shaped to pull him into the stands but got a fat top edge, and Kellaway ran forward to take a simple catch. What a start on Fire debut. 51/2 60b to LPJ Kimber, drops short, Kimber looks to swing him into Worcestershire but can only pick out deep midwicket! Offbreak speared in from around the wicket. Kimber was very deep in the crease looking to get underneath it, but couldn't get the distance on it. Simple enough catch for Green, and the Fire are burning hot. 85/5 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 6 | 27 | 3 | 1.35 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | ||
40b to WCF Smeed, picks out deep midwicket! On a length outside off, Smeed had got himself stuck and decided it was time for a release shot. Looks to drag him over the leg side from deep in the crease, but Kellaway hardly had to move. 58/3 96b to JG Bethell, picks out long-on! Green doesn't opt for the yorker, spearing this in on a good length, and Bethell looks to swing hard into the gap between long-on and midwicket. But he goes a little too straight, and Kellaway is in the action yet again, taking a straightforward chance just off the rope. 130/8 100b to TA Boult, you miss, I hit. Green finishes with three wickets, going fast, full and flat. Boult has a big heave and is knocked over. 138/9 | ||||||||||

82b to JM Bairstow, cleaned up! Nails a perfect inswinging yorker which sneaks underneath the bat and cannons into the base of the stumps. Great comeback from Milne. Bairstow nods in appreciation on his way off. 122/2 | ||||||||||

46b to SS Eskinazi, very good from Howell! Full and floaty, Eskinazi steps outside leg and looks to force him back over his head but Howell holds onto a stinger off his own bowling, up above his left shoulder. Phoenix get the breakthrough they desperately needed. 72/1 | ||||||||||
