Sarah Taylor is given out after being struck on the pad by Nat Sciver. But she's reviewed it.
Fire 59-2published at 58 balls
Brilliant running between Sarah Taylor and Hayley Matthews after the former plopped the ball into the leg side. The boundary riders race in but some decisive running adds two more to the Fire total. A ball later and Taylor find the boundary with a crisp shot.

BBC Sport at Sophia GardensIt is very, very windy here today so I wonder how much it might've carried that over the rope? Either way, the crowd enjoyed it! They're still at reduced capacity but they're still managing to make a decent amount of noise.

BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat was a huge hit! It was six the minute it left the bat.
Fire 68-2published at 55 balls
Bosh. As clean a strike of a cricket ball as you will see today as Hayley Matthews follows up the not out decision with a huge six off Sarah Glenn between long-on and cow corner.

Hayley Matthews survives. The ball pitched in line, hit the batter in line, but was going over the stumps and was too close to call.

An eventful over as Hayley Matthews is struck on the pad. The Fire batters scrambled a couple of leg byes. Trent Rockets have decided to take a look...

BBC Sport at Sophia GardensYou could really sense that Hayley Matthews needed those boundaries. Before then, everything she hit was going straight to the fielders.

Spin courtesy of Sarah Glenn, but first ball Hayley Matthews aggressively advances down the pitch, gives herself room, and pierces the covers. A ball later and Matthews sweeps it four.
That's more like it from the West Indies batter.

BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraHayley Matthews has used up a quarter of the balls and scored just 13 runs. She's trying everything.
Fire 52-2published at 50 balls
In attempt to reignite the Fire innings Sarah Taylor steps right across her crease to the off side and pulls the ball but it is just a single.
A ball later Hayley Matthews miscues a lofted drive off Sammy-Jo Johnson and the ball is dropped by Nat Sciver at long-on. It was half chance, really, as the ball was dying on her.
Fire 46-2published at 45 balls
Hayley Matthews has been uncharacteristically ponderous with this innings - 11 off 23 balls. She smiles somewhat sheepishly after Heather Graham drops one on her legs but she is unable to connect.

Fire 43-2published at 41 balls
Heather Graham into the attack and angles one on to Sarah Taylor's pads and the Fire wicketkeeper clips it for a single down to fine leg to get off the mark from her first ball.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThe way the fielder picked up the ball; she had to turn her body and go to the non striker's end and still managed to hit the stumps on the full. That's just brilliant. The fielding in the women's Hundred has been exceptional.
