    Kane Richardson
    3/22(4)
Right then. That's it from the coverage of this game. The Men's Hundred will continue of 24th August 2022 where London Spirit will be taking on Welsh Fire. The first ball will be at 11 pm IST (5.30 pm GMT) but you can join us early for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Kane Richardson is adjudged as the Player of the Match for his incredible spell with the ball. He says it is always nice to win. Mentions that this is a tough ground to bowl with small boundaries. Claims that they figured the wicket at the half way stage and there was a bit of pace and bounce so they used to shut out the game. Credits Tom Helm for his outstanding death bowling and says he was incredible with the way the Curran brothers were going. Adds that he should have been the one standing here.  Informs that he was using the dimension of the field and tried to bowl using the longer boundary but says it is difficult with the left and right hand combination. Says that it is massive to get a win at this time of the tournament. Mentions that they will be playing at home with the crowd behind them. Admits that the next two games will be tough as they are against teams above them so they needed to win this and then look forward to those games.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the innings, Birmingham Phoenix posted 166 runs on the board, thanks to some hard-hitting from Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone. It could have been worse for Oval Invincibles but they did really well to pull things back in the fag end of the innings. During the chase, Oval Invincibles lacked match-changing stands in the middle and would be a bit disappointed.
Moeen Ali used his bowlers really well and that has gotten them over the line here! It was an under-par target and they did really well to restrict Oval Invincibles at 156 runs here. It was Tom Helm and Kane Richardson who stood out with the ball. They combined for 6 wickets in total with three wickets each. Tom Helm was very economical as he gave away only 11 runs in his set of 20. He has certainly grown throughout this tournament. Benny Howell and Henry Brookes took a wicket apiece.
Chasing 167, Oval Invincibles thought they had the batters in their rank to chase this under-par target but they could not make the most of it. Oval Invincibles were put on the back foot instantly as they lost two wickets inside the Powerplay. Jason Roy also could not make the most of his reprieve and fell out after getting a good start. Later, Cox and Sam Curran stitched a 47-run stand to stable the ship. Tom Curran came in and turned on the heat with his cameo of 12-ball 30. He managed to keep his side in the game but Sam Curran followed suit soon after. In the end, they were unable to take back the two crucial points.
Birmingham Phoenix have managed to hold their nerves and get over the line here. They move to third spot in the points table. Oval Invincibles gave a run for their money but could not take on the bowlers here as much as they would've liked to.

Henry Brookes To Jason Roy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Just when we thought Jason Roy is regaining some form, he throws his wicket away! Henry Brookes bowls a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, Jason Roy goes for a pull and gets a top edge that flies high between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Kane Richardson from deep square leg is there first and the ball is slightly away from him. He reaches for it and clings on to send Jason Roy back to the pavilion. Oval Invincibles are three down now.

OUT! CAUGHT! Fantastic catch by Will Smeed! Oval Invincibles have lost their second wicket! Tom Helm bangs this one short and outside off, Rilee Rossouw goes for the pull but only manages a top edge that flies high into the air.

Kane Richardson To Will Jacks OUT!
OUT! LBW! This time the bowler appeals loudly and the umpire raises his finger! Kane Richardson bowls this on a good length and gets the ball to nip back in sharply from outside off, Will Jacks looks to block but gets beaten and the ball hits him on the back leg in front of the stumps. The umpire has given this out and Will Jacks decides to review this. The ball is quite far away from the bat and Ball Tracking shows it is umpire's call on the ball hitting the wickets. The on-field decision remains and Will Jacks has to depart. An early blow for Oval Invincibles.
Review! Will Jacks takes the review for lbw. The on-field decision is OUT! The UltraEdege confirms no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking shows that it is umpire's call on the ball hitting the wickets. The original decision stands.
