    WICKET

    Redmayne run out Wyatt/Rudd 4 (Fire 74-6)

    The pressure has told on the Fire batters. Wyatt gathers the ball quickly in the covers and Redmayne is well short of her ground.

  3. Fire 71-5

    Intelligent bowling from Stafanie Taylor of the West Indies, who is clocking up the dots. The Fire batters just cannot get it away at the moment.

  4. Here's that brilliant bit of fielding by Amanda-Jade Wellington earlier.

  5. Next batter: Georgia Hennessy

    A big grey cloud has just appeared above us. Southern Brave will be hoping it blows over, but the Fire might need the rain to save them at this stage.

    That stumping is the first dot ball Charlotte Taylor has bowled today.

    WICKET

    Luff st Rudd b C Taylor 8 (Fire 65-5)

    Sophie Luff hits a boundary to try to reignite the Fire innings but two balls later she is on her way. Charlotte Taylor spots her advancing down the pitch and she is well out of her ground as Carla Rudd whips off the bails in a flash.

  9. Fire 58-4

    This game is moving on at a rapid pace. A fairly tidy set from Fi Morris who sees five taken off it. The final ball hangs in the air but drops safe with Stafanie Taylor at mid-wicket on the prowl.

    Raerith: I’m here at the match but you can tell there’s been cancellations. Just got to feel for those that booked and couldn't come. Must be gutting.

    I was just about to say how excited I am to see Sarah Taylor bat today.

    WICKET

    Taylor lbw b Bell 0

    On her comeback from retirement Sarah Taylor is out first ball. It's a vicious inswinging delivery from Lauren Bell and there is no bat involved on video review.

  15. Umpire review

    Sarah Taylor could be in trouble here first ball, trapped in front by Lauren Bell. Might be some bat involved, possibly?

    We asked readers to contact us if they had tickets cancelled for today's matches...

    My tickets were only cancelled on Sunday morning. Living 250 miles away in Norwich it was too late to then cancel my hotel and having already picked up my hire car it's cost me nearly £300 for nothing.

  19. Fire 50-2

    This is impressive stuff from Hayley Matthews with the shot of the day. The Fire batter backs away to give herself some room and stylishly cuts Amanda-Jade Wellington for four through the gap at wide long-off.

    There are plenty of Taylors on show today. There's Charlotte Taylor, Stafanie Taylor, Sarah Taylor and... me.
