  1. Fire 40-3

    Need 124 runs to win

    End of the powerplay, and there's still a lot of work for the Fire batters to do here. But Glenn Phillips has 25 from 11 balls, so you never know ...

  2. 6 runs

    Fire 35-3

    Need 129 runs to win

    Well, Glenn Phillips reacts with six more! Huge!

    Both of these batters are expecting Blake Cullen to bowl it into the body and have anticipated it. It's forced a fielding change from Eoin Morgan. It will be interesting to see how the batters react.

  4. Fire 24-3

    Need 140 runs to win

    Du Plooy is off the mark with a four, and Phillips follows it up with another a couple of balls later.

    That one raced to the boundary, the fielder had no chance.

  5. New batter: Leus du Plooy

    That's a big wicket for London Spirit, the in-form Ben Duckett. Blake Cullen is the man of the moment here.

    WICKET

    Duckett b Wheal 6 (Fire 20-3)

    Trouble. Big trouble. Ben Duckett is livid, swiping his bat in anger as he's just missed a straight one.

    What a catch in the crowd. A one-handed grab as well! He gets a high five from the steward too. That gets the crowd up on their feet. It's the unexpected nature of a crowd catch which make it so brilliant.

  9. 6 runs

    Fire 19-2

    Maybe it is! Into the stands and brilliantly caught in the crowd - again!

  10. Fire 13-2

    Need 151 runs to win

    Four more, this time to Glenn Phillips. He is such a powerful striker of a cricket ball, but hasn't fired yet. Is tonight the night?

    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Jade Dernbach hasn't started great here. He's been too straight and it's easy pickings for Ben Duckett.

  12. Fire 9-2

    Need 155 runs to win

    A boundary!!! Ben Duckett whips off his legs for the first four.

    Meanwhile, next batter in Leus du Plooy is practicing his juggling in the dugout. Interesting.

  13. Fire 3-1

    Need 161 runs to win

    Jade Dernbach comes on to bowl, playing his first game of the tournament. 164 feels a long, long way away.

    I was just thinking how did that miss off stump and now I know why - it was just the faintest of edges.

    WICKET

    Lloyd c Rossington b Cullen 0 (Fire 2-2)

    An absolute horror of a start for Welsh Fire. David Lloyd goes first ball, taking a big swing and edging behind to the keeper.

  17. Fire 2-1

    Need 162 runs to win

    Ben Duckett, Fire's captain and leading run-scorer, has a lot to do here. He wouldn't have wanted to be batting this early.

    This is a tournament which has failed to see Banton live up to the giddy heights we know he can achieve.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Banton lbw b Cullen 0 (Fire 1-1)

    Cullen's second ball is a wide, he follows it up with a wicket. Full, straight and Banton almost walked, it was so out. A tournament to forget for the Somerset youngster.
