That finish by Harrison means that today's double header has yielded a total of exactly 550 runs - 132 in the women's match (64 plays 68-1) and 418 in this one.

Calvin Harrison hits his first ball for six. That means that 17 are needed off the last ball. He finishes in style with another six to make it 204-7, but Birmingham Phoenix are winners by 10 runs.

Lewis Gregory goes, caught and bowled by Owen to make it 192-7, needing 23 from the last two balls to win.

Four balls left, 24 needed. Can Craig Overton give Mitch Owen the same treatment that Kapil Dev gave Eddie Hemmings at Lord's in 1990?

Dickson may just have settled this match beyond dispute by catching Banton off Currie for 67 (32 balls, four fours, five sixes) to make it 187-6 from 95 balls, 28 needed off the last five, with Craig Overton coming to the middle.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

That single by Gregory marks a landmark - the required rate has climbed above four per ball - 29 needed from seven balls.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Banton started that set from Mahmood explosively - 6,4,6, but a dot and a single to finish means that he has done less of it than required. Rockets 178-5 from 90 balls, needing 37 from 10 balls at 3.70 per ball, current rate 1.98 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Potential run out - Santner ran the first lazily, expecting the ball to go for four, then tried to get back for a second when it didn't, and just failed to get home. Abysmal running from the Kiwi. Rockets 161-5 from 85 balls, need 54 from the last 15 at 3.60 per ball, current rate 1.89 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Rockets started that set with a six but failed horrendously to build on that start, taking singles of the next four balls, which means they have handed Phoenix four gifts in a row. Rockets 151-4 from 80 balls, need 65 from the last 20 balls at 3.25 per ball, current rate 1.875 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Rockets 141-4 from 75 balls, need 74 from the last 25 at 2.96 per ball, current RR 1.88 per ball. Usman Tariq is done for the night with 2-36 from his 20 balls, a good performance in the context of a very high scoring match.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Rockets 134-4 from 70 balls, need 81 from the last 30 balls at 2.70 per ball, current RR 1.91 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Billings holes out for 12 (9), a terrible innings in the context of this high scoring match, capping off a very ordinary night for the Rockets skipper (he blundered his usage of his bowlers, and his keeping was not stellar). Rockets 127-4 from 66 balls.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Rockets 127-3 from 65 balls, need 88 off the last 35 at 2.51 per ball, current RR 1.95 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Accidental beamer from Saqib Mahmood gave away a free hit but Billings could not take advantage. Rockets 116-3 from 60 balls, need 99 more from the last 40 balls at 2.475 per ball, current rate 1.93 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Huge moment - Tim David caught by Clarke off Usman Tariq for 2 (3). Rockets 111-3 from 55 balls, need 104 more from the last 45 at 2.31 per ball, current RR 2.01 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Halfway stage in this innings and Rockets are 104-2, needing 111 more in the remaining 50 balls at 2.22 per ball, current rate 2.08 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Duckett gone for 49, caught by Clarke off Currie to make it 102-2 after 48 balls.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

A good set of five balls for Phoenix, in the person of Rehan Ahmed. Rockets are 97-1, needing 118 from the last 55 balls at 2.15 per ball, current rate 2.16 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

40 balls gone and Rockets are 90-1, needing 125 more from the last 60 at 2.08 per ball, current rate 2.25 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Six to Duckett, which means Rockets are 79-1 from 35 balls, needing 136 from the last 65 at 2.09 per ball, current rate 2.26 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Usman Tariq gets Finn Allen caught by Scott Currie for 43 (17). Rockets 65-1 after 29 balls, need 150 more from 71 at 2.11 per ball, current rate 2.24 per ball.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRickets #BPvTR

Ahmed goes caught at cover for 48 (25 balls, two fours, five sixes) to make it 197-3 with seven balls left. Mitch Owen, who has played some destructive knocks in franchise cricket, is the new batter.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Rehan Ahmed starts the next set by hitting yet another six, which also takes Phoenix to a record score for this competition at this ground.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

How much power does Donovan Ferreira have? He has just toe-ended one for six. He did get all of the next ball, which has gone way over midwicket for another half dozen. He ends the set by making it three in a row. With 10 balls left Birmingham Phoenix are 181-2. Matthew Henry, victim of this onslaught, has now bowled 15 balls for 48.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

100 up for Birmingham Phoenix from just 44 balls.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Oval Invincibles (now MI London) reject Sam Billings not impressing as captain in the field so far. He has made at least one major blunder in the handling of his bowlers, and is showing little sign of being able to halt the Phoenix charge.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Another four to end the 25 ball Power Play. Phoenix are 54-0, off to racing start. Next bowler into the attack is Mitch Santner.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

Amir finally gets a bowl for deliveries 21-25. A well set Joe Clarke immediately climbs into him, with a four and then a six. Trent Rockets have messed up handling their bowlers so far - Amir should have been the first bowler they used.
#cricket #TheHundred #BirminghamPhoenixvTrentRockets #BPvTR

After a slow start this Power Play is going well for Phoenix, helped by the bizarre decision of Trent Rockets not to use Mohammad Aamir in a phase in which he bowls superbly. Phoenix 38-0 from 20 balls.

@_hypocaust A fine match, won by 12 runs. Phoenix did better in both the opening phase (36-0 beats 36-1) and the middle phase (70-4 versus 55-3) while Rockets shaded the final phase (46-2 versus 42-1).
