West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialMy plan for Welsh Fire would be to bowl it into the pitch and force the batters to go either side of the wicket.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraFrom Welsh Fire's point of view they need a wicket or two and they will be right back in the game. They need to get rid of Samit Patel and Lewis Gregory, otherwise I think the Trent Rockets have this in the bag.

That's another excellent set of five balls for Welsh Fire, with Matthew Milnes hardly offering an inch.
Strategic time-out time...

Matthew Milnes replaces Jimmy Neesham, who took a hammering.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat was an unbelievable effort! That ball was slapped hard by Samit Patel.

Nearly a wondercatch but it's ended up six!
Samit Patel thrashes over mid-wicket, the fielder on the boundary catches it but his momentum is taking him backwards... and he steps over the boundary with the ball in his hand!

Ooh, that's not an ideal start...
Samit Patel guides the ball down to backward third where Luke Fletcher makes an absolute hash of stopping it. Four!

Speaking of Jimmy Neesham, here he is to have a bowl.

Samit Patel comes within a fingertip of holing out!
Jimmy Neesham is pedalling backwards as Samit Patel smacks the ball into the air, but it just sneaks under his hand as he dives to his left.

That's what Trent Rockets needed!
Samit Patel swings and swings hard, hitting the ball straight down the ground for six.
