    It was a great half-century from Glenn Phillips. He just couldn't get enough elavation on that shot.

    WICKET

    Phillips c Mullaney b Carter 50 (Fire 125-4)

    Glenn Phillips rocks back to one dug into the pitch by Matt Carter but this his go-to shot comes up short and he is caught at deep square leg by Steven Mullaney who takes a good catch sliding on his knees.

    We haven't seen the best of Glenn Phillips yet in The Hundred but here he is. Welsh Fire have relied so much on Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett in their first four games so they'll be pleased to see a contribution from somebody else.

    50 for Phillips

    Rashid Khan is swept fine by Leus du Plooy first up. Glenn Phillips then brings up his half-century off the final ball of that set with a dab into the pitch. He's got that off 34 balls.

    That was a ridiculous shot. He's just played a drive, nothing more, and yet it's sailed over for six. These are short boundaries, but still - that's remarkable.

  7. 6 runs

    Fire 118-3

    Luke Wood arrows one of his left-arm rockets full, at yorker length, but Glenn Phillips drops back into his crease to get under the ball and clobbers it for six down the ground off the final ball of that set.

    Such clean striking from Phillps, but he second-guessed what Wood would bowl to him.

  8. Fire 110-3

    An 85mph low full toss from Luke Wood is clipped away for a single by Glenn Phillips. A ball later Leus du Plooy gives himself room, but is not quite able to time a heave down the ground and another single.

  9. Here we go. Luke Wood into the attack.

  11. Fire 108-3

    Rashid Khan with no wickets so far as Welsh Fire nudge, nurdle and poke the Afghanistan man into the gaps. 23 runs taken off 15 balls from Rashid.

  12. Fire 103-3

    Glenn Phillips, who has 36 from 26 balls, pulls Rashid Khan through cow corner but there's a fielder stationed to cut it off.

    This is a top-notch platform for Welsh Fire.

  14. Fire 100-3

    Strategic timeout called by Trent Rockets. Welsh Fire will want 50 plus runs from the remaining 30 balls.

  15. Umpire review

    More drama. Leus Du Plooy is given out lbw to Steven Mullaney but the decision is overturned on review.

    And to me it looks like there's a millimetre behind!

    To me, it looks short.

  18. Umpire review

    Glenn Phillips whacks it back at the stumps. Did Steven Mullaney get a hand on that? He did, but Leus Du Plooy had his bat behind the line. Just.

    That was a quite remarkable shot.

  20. 6 runs

    Fire 97-3

    Glenn Phillips has eye in and Steven Mullaney's dobbers are sent packing. Phillips rocks back again and whacks it beyond Rashid Khan at square leg for six.

    A ball later and Phillips plays the same shot. This time it drops just in front of the despairing dive of Rashid and squirms under him for four.
