  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Windsor b Smith 4 (Fire 63-6)

    Emily Windsor's stay is all too brief. She struck the second ball she faced for four but is bowled by fourth.

    Linsey Smith has her second wicket, taking out middle stump.

  3. Fire 63-5

    Need 79 runs to win

    Emily Windsor is off the mark with a boundary.

  4. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Northern Superchargers had some success sweeping against spin during their innings, hitting 24 off 12 including four boundaries - by contrast Welsh Fire are yet to attempt a sweep against the spinners in this innings.

  5. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Headingley

    Beaumont knows it, you can see how disappointed she is. She will feel a little unlucky. A couple of inches either side and it would have been straight to the boundary.

    Superchargers are right on the way to winning.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Beaumont c Armitage b Ballinger 36 (Fire 58-5)

    Dear, oh dear. What a gift from Tammy Beaumont. She struck that straight to Hollie Armitage.

    Welsh Fire need 84 runs off 50 balls and they've lost all three of their big-hitting top three. A deserved wicket for Grace Ballinger.

  7. 6 runs

    Fire 58-4

    Target 142

    Tammy Beaumont doing Tammy Beaumont things. Six over mid-off.

  8. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Headingley

    You want a catch taken? Get an Australian underneath it.

    It was hit flat and Annabel Sutherland gobbled it up. That is why they are so good in the international game.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Jonassen c Sutherland b Wareham 1 (Fire 51-4)

    Jess Jonassen can't capitalise on her lifeline. She's been caught by Annabel Sutherland at mid-off.

    It's all going horribly wrong for Welsh Fire.

  10. dropped catch

    Jonassen dropped on 0

    Fire 50-3

    Did that carry? The ball is struck straight to Alice Davidson-Richards at backward point but it goes through her hands. Lifeline for Jess Jonassen.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    There were modest celebrations from Kate Cross and her teammates. Maybe they were just having us on.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Elwiss run out (Cross/Wareham) 13 (Fire 48-3)

    Welsh Fire can't help themselves. A second run-out of the match as Georgia Elwiss goes for a quick single that wasn't there.

    Kate Cross' throw is accurate and Georgia Wareham takes off the bails at the non-striker's end.

  13. Umpire review

    Is this another run-out?

  14. Fire 47-2

    Target 142

    Tammy Beaumont gets the strike back in time for the final ball of Annabel Sutherland's first set and dances down to send it for four wide of mid-off.

    She knows Welsh Fire's hopes of victory are on her shoulders.

  15. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Headingley

    Annabel Sutherland is one of those tall Australian-style bowlers that bangs it in. She is very tall for a women's fast bowler.

  16. Fire 42-2

    Target 142

    Georgia Elwiss isn't looking as fluid as her captain.

    She takes a single and Tammy Beaumont screams for two off the next ball, determined to keep the strike. She only manages one.

  17. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Headingley

    I have a lot of faith in Welsh Fire, as long as Tammy Beaumont stays in. Not as much hope in their middle order, however.

  18. Fire 40-2

    Target 142

    Tammy Beaumont has raced to 23 off 14 but the required runs per ball is up above 1.5.

  19. 6 runs

    Fire 39-2

    Target 142

    Bang. Another six for Tammy Beaumont, cleanly struck over mid-on.

  20. Fire 32-2

    Target 142

    Georgia Wareham enters the attack and only concedes two runs from her first five balls.

    How important could this run out of Sophia Dunkley in the powerplay be?
