    WICKET

    Du Plooy lbw b Crane 26 (Fire 123-5)

    Great comeback from London Spirit! The review shows the ball was hitting the stumps and Leus Du Plooy has to go! What a turnaround!

    It might just be glancing leg stump.

  3. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I think this is going down leg. It will be close.

  4. Doesn't look like he's hit it.

  5. Fire review

    Leus Du Plooy is given out lbw! But he's reviewed it ...

  6. Here's how Glenn Phillips reached his 50. I'm still not over the fact that he got out, by the way.

  7. Fire 121-4

    Need 43 runs to win

    Interesting analysis from Dan Norcross there.

    43 off 30. Leus Du Plooy still there on 25. Game on.

    I'll tell you who David Wiese reminds me of? He looks like someone who has been renting wet suits to surfers on Newquay beach for the past 20 years.

  9. Fire 119-4

    Need 45 runs to win

    The pressure was just building slightly with a couple of balls without scoring, but Josh Cobb eliminates it with a four off David Wiese's bowling.

  10. Fire 115-4

    Need 49 runs to win

    Josh Cobb whacks the ball straight in the air ... but safe. They scamper two.

    We were just getting our graphics ready for Phillips' hundred. Think we cursed it.

    The crowd are on their feet and rightly so. Glenn Phillips take a bow. We wanted him to get that hundred but what he's done has get his team to a winning position.

    WICKET

    Phillips c Crane b Wheal 80 (Fire 113-3)

    I think I might cry. In the way you'd expect, Phillips goes for a huge heave, doesn't connect and finds the fielder on the boundary.

    What an innings. The crowd are all on their feet because they've just seen something truly special.

    You have to get Glenn Phillips away from the strike. The London Spirit bowlers need plans to starve him of time at the striker's end. Don't allow him to be there and hit boundaries. Eoin Morgan is one of the best white-ball captains in the world, he needs to draw on all his knowledge.

  15. Fire 112-3

    Need 52 runs to win

    Glenn Phillips gets a single ...

  16. Fire 111-3

    Need 53 runs to win

    London Spirit take their strategic timeout, which is probably needed. It's been carnage from Glenn Phillips.

    Every time I've worked on a Welsh Fire game, I've said how good he is, and he hasn't quite got going. It's been so good to see him in full flow. He is, quite simply, just whacking it.

    That was a massive six from Glenn Phillips! What a blow.

  18. Are these fans going to see history made, with the first hundred of The Hundred?

    There's 9,261 packed into Sophia Gardens this evening.

    That. Is. Huge!

    You guessed it, it was Glenn Phillips. He moves on to 78 ...

  20. Fire 101-3

    Need 63 runs to win

    Shot! Leus Du Plooy this time, gets a reverse sweep past a diving fielder for four. Incredible batting!
