Birmingham Phoenix put themselves back into the top three of The Hundred with an important win at Edgbaston, knocking Trent Rockets out of this year's competition in the process. Tim Southee claimed a five-wicket haul, to restrict the Rockets to 118, before Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell helped push Phoenix into the play-off places with a measured chase.
The away team sensed it was their chance to build the pressure with the ball in the chase and they began to restrict Phoenix's scoring opportunities, before Luke Wood released the pressure with a no-ball free hit that Bethell deposited into the stands to give the home side some breathing room. Bethell and Livingstone then took Phoenix home with a half-century partnership, as they chased it with seven balls to spare.
