Phillips takes three huge swings and misses at Mason Crane, each one met with despairing gasps from the bowler.
A couple of singles follow. A bit of an anti-climax, that!

Ravi Bopara spills a very tough chance off his own bowling - it was hit hard back at him.

Chris Green
Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraI have a sense Glenn Phillips might switch mid-delivery to batting left handed and go big again. I've seen him do it before.

Can absolutely guarantee that my mum is asking my dad way too many questions, and he's not got the patience for it.
Anyway, Glenn Phillips has just hit another six. This is madness!! Better concentrate on this instead of what my parents are up to.

Daniel Norcross
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraI am kind of obsessed with the idea Glenn Phillips is going to a hundred for the Welsh Fire here, and the crowd going wild.

Glenn Phillips has just hit four more, and I've just spotted my mum and dad in the crowd. The excitement is getting too much.

Four more! This time crunched through the off side. This is remarkable.

Wow! This is incredible batting! Phillips goes to 50 with yet another huge six and the fireworks light up around the ground.
He's only faced 25 balls!

I mean, this would have been the catch of the tournament. David Wiese, diving full stretch like a goalkeeper on the boundary, goes one handed but he spills it. It is harsh to call it a drop, to be fair.

Well, Glenn Phillips still believes. He smashes Roelof van der Merwe's first ball for four down the ground.
And a bit of comedy next up as two fielders tumble into one another trying to do a very simple piece of fielding on the boundary. Thankfully, neither was injured.

Leus Du Plooy joins in on the fun with a lovely reverse sweep for four more.
Not a great start from Mason Crane.

Jack Rule: Now I’m a lover of all cricket. But would I sit and watch a game of a 50 over or T20 comp every day. No, I wouldn’t. Have I done so with The Hundred? Yes. It’s been a case of not wanting to miss a game. It has to have done something.

How has that gone for six?! It's swept hard and flat by Glenn Phillips and goes to the ropes barely off the ground. Watch out in the crowd...

Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraI tell what I would like to see in The Hundred next year - a bit more flair from the umpires. Let's see a bit more of the Billy Bowden manner of signaling a boundary.

David Wiese recovers well, and finishes with a slower ball that bamboozles Leus Du Plooy.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraYou may have heard the crowd booing there. It was the Welsh Fire fans booing the win predictor when it came on the big screen! There's nothing really on the line, but the crowd are getting into it.

And again! Phillips is in the mood, this one smashed over midwicket from David Wiese's first ball.
