Brave's reply stalls after Vince out for 40
Bairstow (72) & Duckett (53) post first 100 partnership of competition for Fire
Fire won their opener, Brave lost
The innings finishes on a bit of a whimper after the fireworks we saw beforehand. Ian Cockbain and Glenn Phillips scramble a few frantic runs off Chris Jordan without finding the boundary.
That's a pretty decent score, though.

The partnership between Duckett and Bairstow was an excellent example of clean hitting and also running between the wicket.

Duckett c Overton b Jordan 53 (Fire 162-4)
A wide ball from Chris Jordan which Ben Duckett pulls across the line, sends the ball skyward and into Craig Overton's bucket hands,
Chris Jordan with the last set, as expected.
Neesham c De Grandhomme b Briggs 0
Pad rash for Jimmy Neesham who is out for a first-ball duck. It was a very similar dismissal to Jonny Bairstow's as he fails to get hold of the shot and Colin de Grandhomme pockets the catch.

Patrick Allinson: Some 'crisp' hitting on show tonight
Bairstow c Jordan b Briggs 72
Another full toss from Danny Briggs but this time Jonny Bairstow is unable to get over the top of it and is caught by Chris Jordan down the ground.

Brilliant from Bairstow, he got going and put the bowlers under pressure every time.

Same place, same result. Jonny Bairstow is having fun out there.

The crowd is on its feet for Jonny Bairstow. What a knock.
It is such a shame that this is his last game for Welsh Fire. He has been absolutely magnificent and they will really, really miss him when he joins the England's Test team after today.
Boom! Jonny Bairstow with back-to-back sixes. Danny Briggs drops it little short and Jonny Bairstow pumps him for an 80-metre six square of the wicket. Next ball is a full toss and Bairstow whacks him to the same spot for another maximum.
Bold from James Vince as spinner Danny Briggs comes back.

An excellent finish from Tymal Mills, as Ben Duckett swings across the line for a single to bring up his half-century off 31 balls.
Left-arm paceman Tymal Mills with a tidy set so fr, keeping the ball back of a length to both batters. One run from his first three balls.
Around 140 has been about par so far in The Hundred and there's still 15 balls left in the Welsh Fire's innings.
Ben Duckett picks up a slower ball from Chris Jordan and whips a low half sweep for four behind square. Duckett then pinches the strike at the end of the over.
James Vince attempts to curtail the batting carnage by bringing back the intelligent Chris Jordan, who bowls three dot balls.
