Adam Milne to Tom Banton, OUT! LBW! Banton's nightmarish tournament continues! He departs for a duck and also takes the sole review with him. It looked plumb and it was plumb. Banton was gambling for a spike on the Ultra Edge but there isn't any! Full and pacy ball on middle. Banton looks to play it through mid on. He is late to get his bat down. The ball jags back in at pace and hits the front pad. A huge and confident appeal follows. The umpire has no qualms raising his finger. Banton has a chat with Cockbain. He decides to take the gamble and reviews it. Replay rolls in and UltraEdge shows no spike. Banton sees that and knows he is a goner. Time for the Ball Tracker and it shows all reds. Banton's poor Hundred continues.

Imran Tahir serves it fuller and outside off, Qais Ahmad gets low and looks to hit this one hard to the leg side, but the ball takes the top edge and goes high towards mid off. Will Smeed makes no mistake.

Imran Tahir to Matt Milnes, OUT! LBW! Imran Tahir goes for a marathon run here! He is also on a hat-trick! Floats this one up and darts it on middle, Matt Milnes looks for the paddle sweep but misses. An appeal and the finger goes up. Birmingham Phoenix need just one more!

Imran Tahir to David Payne, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! IMRAN TAHIR GETS A HAT-TRICK! Oh, my word. What a sight. Tahir has set Edgbaston alight and the fans are loving it. Man, this lad has the energy of a 20-year old. Imran Tahir bowls a flatter googly around off, the ball turns back in as David Payne looks to defend. He misses and the timber behind is destroyed. A beautiful way to end this game. BIRMINGHAM PHOENIX WIN BY 93 RUNS!
