    0.2 Gone! Wells goes for a two-ball duck, snicking an edge on the charge through to the keeper as Wood goes tighter to cramp the left-hander, who charges and ends up being turned inside out with the ball heading through to Banton past leg stump! 0/1
    15.1 Bairstow goes! Fifty and out for Bairstow, He goes for that short boundary once more, but gets a top edge to Cook who ends up taking the catch a few feet in from the deep square leg sponge 99/3
    2.3 Top class from Imad! This one slides on and, again, Clarke misreads the length. Far too full to cut, even having made room to the leg side, and off stump is pinned! 9/2
    16.1 And he's got a wicket! Abell decides to try and heave to the bigger side but can only find Luke Wood at deep midwicket. A standard over the shoulder delivery from Root, with a bit more behind it that meant Abell couldn't really get it out of the screws. Two new batters to the crease now... 103/4
    18.4 Low full toss, hammered by Phillips... but straight to Powell at long off! Big couple of deliveries for Powell, who does well to take that because it was travelling at great speed and dying on Powell in the final moments before reaching him. 119/5

    5.3 skies the wrong 'un to short third on the reverse! Crane goes full outside off with the googly, but Banton's reverse-sweep has no timing. Payne settles underneath it, and Fire have the breakthrough 36/1

    7.1 hits the top of leg stump with a wrong 'un first up! Hales rocks back looking to swing hard but can only throw his head back in disgust. Fire's spinners have started well 48/2
    11.2 legbreak with a hint of width, chopping away square... confusion in the running, Clarke fires in the throw and Bairstow rips the stumps out! Root doesn't even wait for the TV umpire's decision and looks absolutely seething... Hain has a job on his hands now! 69/3

    15.2 superb catch in the deep from Wells at long leg! 86mph back-of-a-length ball, Powell looks to get underneath it and drag it over the short boundary but it goes miles up in the air. Phillips and Wells are converging but Wells calls for it, and takes a tumbling stunner. Came down with snow on it. Big moment! 94/4
    17.5 slower ball, banged in halfway down the pitch, dragged away to deep square on the pull... oh no, another mix-up, and Rashid is the second man on Sam Hain's BBQ! There was a call of "yeah, yeah, yeah!" but who was it from? Rashid was racing back for the second, Hain sent him back, and the Rockets lose another... it's getting tight! 112/5
    18.4 looks to go again, but picks out Phillips at deep midwicket! He's exactly the fielder Welsh Fire would want underneath it, and he takes a fantastic catch diving forwards at near enough full stretch. Gregory's innings is nothing more than a cameo 121/6
    18.5 superb diving catch from Willey, running in off the long-on boundary! Length ball outside off stump, swung away down the ground... it hangs tantalisingly in the air as Willey races in, 10-15 yards off the rope, tumbles forward and slides underneath it! 121/7
    19.1 Rauf goes full and straight with his slower ball, Imad shuffles across looking to scoop... and chips it straight to short fine leg! TKC takes a straightforward catch and Fire have taken three wickets in three balls! 121/8
