- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 tonks leg stump! The change in pace has worked out for Phoenix. Howell's slowed it down and Roy is through this slog too early 68/24.1 taken at extra cover! Brown strikes first up. It's full and slanted in at the stumps. Looks for the flick and closes the face too early, and the leading edge is taken easily 23/117.2 taken at long-off. Full at off stump, makes room to go inside-out and gets it to the fielder's left. He sprints, he stays low, and takes it about a foot from the ground 140/3Extras9 (b 5, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL172/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Will Jacks, 4.1 ov), 2-68 (Jason Roy, 9.3 ov), 3-140 (Sam Billings, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 oh dear! Allen has stepped onto his stumps going back to flick Narine through midwicket! Hit wicket comes to the Hundred! Just an innocuous ball on fourth stump on a good length, Allen goes too deep in his crease though trying to access the leg side and a massive noise comes through the stump mic followed by roars from the fielders. Replays confirm the zing stumps lighting up with Allen stepping too far back. 28/111.1 meaty full toss and he lucks out with a wicket! It was thigh height on sixth stump, he tries to slap this over mid-off but instead skies this to extra cover on the ring. Narine doesn't mess around with this one after his earlier drop. Simple catch at chest height with palms facing into his body. 99/35.1 strikes immediately! Half-tracker on the stumps, Livingstone rocks back to slaughter a pull. He gets plenty of mustard behind it but not nearly enough elevation. Picks out the man at cow corner for a chest height catch two yards in from the rope. He didn't have to move. 45/214.2 caught at deep midwicket. Moeen's carnage comes to an end. Length ball on middle, clubs this to the man on the rope, easy catch. 138/4Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL174/4 (18.4 Overs, RR: 9.25 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Finn Allen, 3.1 ov), 2-45 (Liam Livingstone, 5.1 ov), 3-99 (Will Smeed, 11.1 ov), 4-138 (Moeen Ali, 14.2 ov)
