Baker run out (Priest) 1
Fire are all out for 102 off the last ball of the innings. Hannah Baker attempts a second run which was never happening and Rachel Priest claims the run out. Piepa Cleary finishes unbeaten on three.
Fire's innings ends on a whimper.

BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThe Welsh Fire have fallen apart. They've lost four wickets for barely any runs. The running has been bad, the batting has been bad. It has not been good to watch.

Griffiths st Priest b Graham
Alex Griffiths takes a step out of her ground to try to hit Heather Graham down the ground. She misses, and again Rachel Priest has the bails off. Brilliant keeping from the Kiwi again.

Heather Graham to finish off. What can Fire scramble off the last five balls?

BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIt doesn't look great when you set off for a run when the keeper has the ball in her hand!

George st Priest b Glenn 1
Rachel Priest has duped Katie George. The Fire batter thinks the ball has dribbled down to third man and sets off for a single, but Priest has it in her glove and whips off the bails with George out of her ground.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraPretty much everyone has bowled well for the Trent Rockets.
Fire 98-6published at 90 balls
Strategic time out called by Trent Rockets with 10 balls remaining.
This looks a below-par total for Welsh Fire at the moment. They need a big finish.

Hennessy st Priest b Johnson 11 (Fire 97-6)
Smart work behind the stumps from Rachel Priest. Georgia Hennessy is drawn into going down the pitch to Sammy-Jo Johnson and the Kiwi has the bails off in a flash.
