Dan Lawrence in at five, and Tymal Mills welcomes him to the crease by searing a bouncer past his face.

Crawley is very disappointed with himself.
Crawley c Jordan b Mills 29 (Superchargers 49-3)
Michael Pepper was four and out, Zak Crawley goes one better - six and out!
Tymal Mills comes into the attack and Crawley lifts his first delivery over the ropes at square.
But the England opener doesn't get hold of his following shot, and it's drops kindly to Chris Jordan at mid-off.

The Superchargers have to retain their intent. They can't just nudge it around.
97 runs needed
Chris Jordan into the attack.
Zak Crawley lifts his second ball over mid-off to four, taking the required runs under 100.
104 runs needed
Spin after the powerplay as left-armer James Coles comes onto bowl.
It's a tight first five, a quintet of singles from it.

Jofra Archer has bowled 67% of his deliveries at 87mph or more - the most by any bowler in this season.

A brilliant start by Freya Davies. She got some nice outswing. Amelia Kerr was trying to be positive, coming out with that intent. But she couldn't help but get a nick on it.

TamBeau is nailing the DRS today.
A huge appeal for caught behind after Melie Kerr wafts at one that shapes away by Freya Davies.
Not given, again. Tammy Beaumont reviews, again. Out, again.
Fire have a second wicket. Low-scoring thriller on the cards in Cardiff?

What a way to introduce yourself, Harry Brook.
A great start by Brook and this is a period where you need to take the pace off and throw more balls at Zak Crawley.
109 runs needed
Out walks the skipper, England's Harry Brook.
He gets off the mark immediately, advancing down the pitch and smacking Overton for four through mid-wicket with a rather ungainly heave.
That's the end of the powerplay.

A much-needed wicket, and a good bouncer by Craig Overton. Michael Pepper must be frustrated!
It will be interesting to see if Southern Brave will bowl James Coles next to change the pace of play.

The Superchargers number three drops into a crouch and cracks Craig Overton over long-off, but the Brave seamer has his revenge with his following delivery.
It's a short one and Pepper pulls straight to James Coles at backward square.

Zak Crawley is in a good position and he is always looking to score. He is always going at you and putting you on the back foot.
120 runs needed
Time for Jofra Archer again, and Zak Crawley sends his second delivery through the covers for four.
Just one single from the remainder of the set, and a final-ball cutter has Michael Pepper flailing at south coast air.
125 runs needed
Two fours in three balls for Zak Crawley.
He edges through an empty cordon off Craig Overton's opening delivery - there had been a slip in for most of Archer's set - and then works the ball past mid-on.

It looked like Hayley Matthews' ball was angling down but it just spun back enough. A massive wicket. If Welsh Fire are going to have any chance in this game, Beth Mooney is definitely the wicket to start with.

Hello! A rare failure for Beth Mooney.
Off-spinner Hayley Matthews gets one to skid through on to the the Australian's pad. Huge appeal - not given.
Sliding past leg stump? Tammy Beaumont thinks it's worth a check and the Welsh Fire captain is spot on.
Ball tracking shows that was hitting leg stump full on. Mooney goes!
