- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Wide length, sliced by Jacks... and taken by Weatherly tumbling forward at deep point! Jacks really did not get a hold of that, done by the angle 12/14.5 Bowls him with a back of the hand slower ball! Full-ish, Vince spotted it and delayed his swing across the line but was undone by the lack of bounce into leg stump 48/211.1 Lifted down the ground... and taken by Owen moving to his right at long off! Intent from Pooran, but the ball wasn't quite there to go down the ground, comes high off the bat and safely into the mitts of the Australian 80/45.4 Taken at cover! Quality delivery from Rehan, full googly on middle and leg, Curran goes to work to midwicket but gets a leading edge to Ferreira diving to his right 48/314.2 Taken at deep midwicket! Full on the stumps, Roy steps out and clumps it away... another toe-ender... taken by Weatherley stationed out there 110/516.4 Caught at deep point! A carbon-copy of Jacks' dismissal. Raza steps across again and goes at another wide ball, which pitches on a length this time. Slice again, just like Jacks, and well-taken by an advancing Thompson 124/6Extras5 (nb 1, w 4)TOTAL157/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Will Jacks, 1.3 ov), 2-48 (James Vince, 4.5 ov), 3-48 (Sam Curran, 5.4 ov), 4-80 (Nicholas Pooran, 11.1 ov), 5-110 (Jason Roy, 14.2 ov), 6-124 (Sikandar Raza, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Bowled him! The Raza gamble pays off! Full, again some swing away, Clarke has a hack across the line and drags it on! MI up and about... 2/13.3 Bounced out! Owen advances, Gleeson digs in a well-directed bumper, forcing the right-hander to duck into a cramped pull, straight to Sikandar Raza stationed three-quarters of the way out at deep square 23/215.5 Dug in, pulled firmly and brilliantly taken by Sowter diving to his right just in front of the sponge after a few strides across from deep midwicket! Right out of the middle, great sound off the bat but all for nothing as Weatherley's stay comes to an end 114/63.4 Caught down the leg side! Evans gone for a golden duck, Gleeson into a length but poorly directed... and Evans, shimmying across his stumps, feathers an edge through to Pooran! 23/310.5 Pins the front pad in front of leg stump... Sam Curran gives it the celebrappeal before realising it's not being given. Immediately calls for the review... and it's predicted to go on to hit the middle of middle! Pitched in line, which I imagine was the uncertainty from standing umpire Ben Debenham 81/414.3 Ferreira goes, slashing out to deep backward point! Cross-seamer, dug in short, snatched at and falls into the hands of Ollie Sykes right on the sponge 103/519.5 And MI have won it at the death! Boult nails his yorker, Rehan can only dig it out to deep point and has the ignominy of getting run out coming back for a second run! It's a result that means neither team is happy... MI London miss out on The Eliminator on Net Run Rate after failing to win by 59 runs or more. And Birmingham Phoenix are consigned to a seventh consecutive loss, finishing bottom of the pile after winning their first game against league-winners Trent Rockets. 155/7Extras11 (b 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL155/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Joe Clarke, 0.4 ov), 2-23 (Mitchell Owen, 3.3 ov), 3-23 (Laurie Evans, 3.4 ov), 4-81 (Sean Dickson, 10.5 ov), 5-103 (Donovan Ferreira, 14.3 ov), 6-114 (Joe Weatherley, 15.5 ov), 7-155 (Rehan Ahmed, 19.5 ov)
