Full commentary

9.15pm: Double-header double-bubble for the home crowd today. Jos Buttler's side claim their first victory of the season, putting in an impressive team display to first set a stiff target and then dismantle Phoenix in their chase. Buttler and Usama Mir shone with the bat, before Tom Hartley turned the screw with 3 for 13. Usama also picked up two wickets and is named the Match Hero: "Happy with my performance. Working hard at my batting, back myself and wanted to show my skills. Proper shots and I got success. Mixed it up with the ball, different paces to unsettle the batsmen. [Bad weather] Annoying but this is my first experience of the Hundred, it's a different feeling that I can't describe." And that's a wrap for tonight, we'll be back for more from Lord's tomorrow. Bye!
