Birmingham Phoenix vs Trent Rockets, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So, four out of four wins for the chasing side in The Men's Hundred competition this season so far. Still early days but chasing seems to be the key to success in this fast-paced format. Tomorrow, a double-header is coming up so join us nice and early for the high-octane action! Until next time, goodbye and cheers!

Lockie Ferguson | Hero of the Match: I started well today, the boys bowled excellently tonight. The short boundary on the leg-side was intimidating but the boys used the change-ups and yorkers well. The team has gelled in quickly and that’s nice. We are off to a good start but still a long way to go. One day turnaround and we are heading back to home to face the Superchargers, hopefully we can put a good performance against them as well.

21:01 Local Time, 20:01 GMT, 01:31 IST: A clinical all-round display from the Rockets to kickstart their campaign. Livingstone won the toss and opted to bat on a decent looking surface. But, their batters were a bit too carefree at the start and the hosts lost 4 wickets for just 26. It was always going to be tough to rebuild from there and also up the tempo. Livingstone tried his best and Clarke hung in but the latter struggled for rhythm. Livingstone fell against the run of play. A cameo at the fag end from Mousley took the Phoenix to a fighting total but it was still well below par. In reply, Root was knocked over cheaply by Southee but Banton kept finding the boundaries regularly and Rehan Ahmed played the perfect foil to him. The duo took the game away from the opposition with their calculated strikes. Howell got rid of them in quick succession but the game was almost done by then. Holden played a fluent cameo and alongwith Hose they took their side over the line with consummate ease.

Milne to Adam Hose, FOUR, that's the game! A shortish delivery down leg, Adam Hose moves inside the line and goes for the pull but gets it off the glove perhaps. It beats the keeper and has enough on it to roll down to the fine leg fence. Rockets win by 6 wickets with 22 balls to spare

Milne to Adam Hose, no run, full ball shaping in on middle and off, driven off the inner half to mid-on

Milne to Adam Hose, FOUR, nicely played! A pitched up ball outside off, Adam Hose backs away a bit and lifts it over wide mid-off for a one-bounce boundary. Rockets are just one hit away now

Southee to Stoinis, out Caught by Mousley!! Southee gets his second wicket! This time Southee puts much more effort into the bouncer outside off and it gets a bit big on Stoinis. He still goes for the pull but ends up getting a top-edge over mid-wicket. Mousley in the deep runs forward and to his left. He crouches a bit and takes a well-judged catch. Stoinis c Mousley b Southee 7(5) [6s-1]
