9.40pm: No Mo, no problem for Phoenix, who win their fifth game in the tournament and move to ten points with one to play - they can't finish outside the top three now. Their total was just above par, it seemed, thanks to a good finish, and then they took wickets regularly, with Imran Tahir and Pat Brown impressing. Rockets are still well placed to get into the knockouts, but will need to win their last match, against Manchester Originals on Sunday, to be sure. Anyway, thanks for sticking with us, we'll back for more with the London derby double-bill at T'Oval tomorrow. Bye!

Liam Livingstone is Hero of the Match for his 50 from 31: "That was carnage, trying to shout at people above the crowd. Brilliant win, great team effort, the bowlers were fantastic. Brown bowling ten at the end, I owe them one. [Captaincy] Always difficult taking over from Mo, he's so chilled. I enjoyed it, great group of lads and we're playing well at the right time. [Gregory wicket] We use Immy to get wickets and we needed to break that stand. Just gut instinct, it paid off. [Top of table] When you get into tournament we want to play finals cricket, hopefully we can go straight to Lord's. Don't think about captaincy when batting, disappointed to get out when I did."

Helm to Cook, 1 run, hoicked into the air leg side, Helm calls for it... and drops it! But no matter, he can smile at the mistake, because Phoenix have secured themselves top spot with a 16-run win
