  1. 6 runs

    Fire 19-1

    Oh, hello!

    Tom Banton goes big down the ground and almost takes out Ravi Bopara in his commentary position at the boundary's edge. Can't help but notice Ravi didn't go for the catch there...

    Banton just hasn't seemed to have fired. He has all of the shots.

  3. Fire 13-1

    Tom Banton hustles a single off a ball that, probably, could have been dispatched for four.

    Ian Cockbain comes wandering out of his crease and is nearly out bowled and lbw to the same delivery.

  4. Fire 11-1

    That's a tremendous set of five from Danny Briggs - a wicket maiden!

    In fact, it's so good, he's gonna go again and bowl another five on the trot.

    Briggs is a very canny operator. It was good homework from Southern Brave with the match-up against Lloyd.

    WICKET

    Lloyd c Vince b Briggs 6 (Fire 11-1)

    And he strikes with his third delivery!

    David Lloyd tries to free his arms, looking to go big and clear the close fielders, but he ends up rather tamely slapping the ball straight to James Vince at extra cover.

  8. Here's Danny Briggs.

  9. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    What a way to score your first runs in The Hundred.

  10. 6 runs

    Fire 11-0

    Oh, hello!

    David Lloyd cracks a six to celebrate his first match of the Hundred. Lovely.

  11. Fire 1-0

    George Garton will open the bowling.

  15. Right. Cricket!

    Here come the Southern Brave fielders.

  16. Key players

    Quinton de Kock has been the stand-out for the Southern Brave with 123 runs in four innings.

    They have a formidable bowling line-up, particularly when it comes to the death overs, with Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills able to restrict batters.

    Welsh Fire have the leading run-scorer in the men's competition in their ranks in the form of Ben Duckett, who has 219 from six matches.

    Afghani spinner Qais Ahmad and New Zealand's Jimmy Neesham have both taken seven wickets apiece for the Fire.

    Just as their female counterparts did earlier, James Vince calls correctly and decides to bowl first up.

    They are unchanged from the side that beat Northern Superchargers a few days ago.
