Stoinis to Benny Howell, SIX, in the slot and dispatched! Full and straight on middle, right in the slot, Benny Howell cleared his front-leg and sent this into orbit with a clean strike over deep mid-wicket!
96
Stoinis to Mousley, leg byes, 1 run, slow loopy yorker on leg-stump, Mousley was through his little paddle too early, hit his pad and dribbles into the off-side. Pretty poor review, that pitched well outside leg

Ferguson to Mousley, FOUR, nearly a flat six! Very full and just outside off, wasn't quite a yorker, Mousley sat deep in his crease and absolutely smoked it through cover, that left the bat faster than it arrived
90
6
Sam Cook to Mousley, SIX, that ruins Sam Cook's figures! 10 of the 18 runs he concedes come off his last two deliveries, was an absolutely fantastic spell otherwise. Got this one wrong though, low full-toss on middle-leg, Mousley used the pace and scooped it over the fine-leg ropes

Sam Cook to Mousley, FOUR, Mousley gets one away! Full and slanting across outside off Mousley went deep in his crease and sliced it over mid-off who was up in the ring, wasn't a clean strike

Ferguson to Joe Clarke, out Caught&Bowled!! Clarke's been put out of his misery! Neat little return catch from Ferguson. Banged in short on middle, Joe Clarke stepped out and made room as he looked to fore-hand this back over the bowler, came off the splice and Ferguson had to actually check himself and wait for a fraction of a second before grabbing this over his head. Clarke just couldn't get his timing going today. Joe Clarke c and b Ferguson 29(34) [4s-2]

Ferguson to Livingstone, out Caught by Max Holden!! That's the end of Livingstone! The pressure was building on Livingstone and he's perished. Perfect wicket at the perfect time for the Rockets. Full and wide outside off, Livingstone reached out looking to smack another one away, didn't get hold of this though and he sliced it up, Holden settled under it at extra cover and took it safely. Livingstone c Max Holden b Ferguson 39(30) [4s-1 6s-3]
66
Willey to Livingstone, 1 run, good length delivery on leg-stump, hits the thigh pad and dribbles into the leg-side, Willey gets to it quickly and has a shy at the bowler's end as they pinch a quick single

Stoinis to Livingstone, SIX, in the slot and pumped out of the ground! Full and straight on middle, right in the slot and Livingstone didn't need second invitations to smash it 95m overs the long-on fence, 50-partnership comes up
56

Akeal Hosein to Livingstone, SIX, this one's gone high and all the way! It didn't look like he got hold of this when he hit it, was tossed up full and outside off, he gave it a little charge before hitting it a mile up in the air, had enough to sail over long-off though
46
Akeal Hosein to Livingstone, 1 run, flatter delivery on middle, worked to deep mid-wicket

Rehan Ahmed to Livingstone, SIX, down the pitch and belted out of the ground! The Phoenix skipper decides to take the initiative, was a googly outside off, Livingstone stepped out, didn't get anywhere near the pitch of it but just had a free swing to send it over the ropes down the ground

Stoinis to Joe Clarke, FOUR, chipped straight! Pitched up full on off-stump, Joe Clarke chipped it straight back towards the bowler who stuck his right hand out, wasn't far from him but it beat him and dribbled down to the ropes

Stoinis to Livingstone, FOUR, thumped with power! Full and wide outside off, juicy half-volley and Livingstone dispatched it with a firm slap through extra cover to get underway

Sam Cook to Joe Clarke, out Jacob Bethell Run Out!! Trouble and gone! Outstanding little piece of fielding from Sam Cook! Yorker on off-stump, Joe Clarke just blocked it into the leg-side and there was a bit of "yes-no" between the batters, Clarke had only taken a step or two down while Jacob Bethell was halfway through before turning, Cook got to the ball, turned quickly and cannoned down the stumps at the bowler's end with a direct-hit to find Jacob Bethell well short. Things are going from bad to worse for the home side. Jacob Bethell run out (Sam Cook) 5(7)

Willey to Joe Clarke, FOUR, chipped and just over mid-on! This was pitched up fuil on off-stump and Joe Clarke smacked it over mid-on, wasn't out of the middle but had enough to clear the man in the ring

W
Ferguson to Aneurin Donald, out Lbw!! Full, straight and speared at the stumps! The only thing in the way was Aneurin Donald's pads. Pitched up full on middle, that shaped back in quite late and Aneurin Donald had planted his front foot early, the bat tried coming around but had no chance. It struck him flush in front and the umpire had little doubt. Looked out and while Aneurin Donald thought about reviewing it, he took too long! Aneurin Donald lbw b Ferguson 6(6) [4s-1]

Akeal Hosein to Aneurin Donald, FOUR, that'll be the first boundary! Flatter delivery outside off, Aneurin Donald leans across and uses the pace to paddle this fine, man in the deep was quite square and couldn't get to this
6
W
Akeal Hosein to Will Smeed, out Caught by Sam Cook!! This is going to be another one! A fantastic start for the Rockets as both Phoenix openers are making their way back. Tossed up full and just outside off, no real turn on this as Will Smeed leant in looking to sweep, it took the top-edge and lobbed straight up, easiest of catches for Sam Cook at fine-leg, barely had to move. Hosein strikes first ball! Will Smeed c Sam Cook b Akeal Hosein 1(3)

Willey to Duckett, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Duckett lasts just two deliveries! Full and on the stumps, was a gentle outswinger that Duckett shuffled all the way across his stumps to looking to scoop, he could only manage a little inside edge that sent it straight on to his stumps. Big wicket early on for the Rockets and it's their captain that striikes. Duckett b Willey 0(2)
