    An important breakthrough for Welsh Fire.

    We'll definitely be seeing more of Joe Cracknell, it was a good innings from him.

    WICKET

    Cracknell c Duckett b Higgins 35

    A lucky break for London Spirit. A high full toss from Ryan Higgins and Joe Cracknell can only spoon it to Ben Duckett at mid-off. He should have mullered that into the stands. A simple catch for Duckett.

  4. A strategic timeout called by Ben Duckett. It looks like another difficult night ahead for the Welsh Fire skipper at the moment.

  5. Spirit 113-1

    A boundary fest for Josh Inglis. He's just hit three consecutive boundaries off Josh Cobb. The last is the best of them - a brilliant back foot punch through point, which pierced the field.

    Here's a clip of an Inglis six from earlier.

    Josh Inglis has held this innings together and this partnership is starting to build nicely now. It's a good platform for them to go on and get a big total.

    50 - Josh Inglis

    A chip down the ground, not quite middled this time, but it's enough for Josh Inglis to run a single and get himself a half-century.

  8. Spirit 97-1

    Josh Inglis once again uses the full space of the crease. He backs away to Matt Critchley's leggies and boom! He whacks him powerfully for another maximum down the ground.

    London Spirit well on top here.

    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Matt Critchley could take some notes from the fella in the crowd!

  10. 6 runs

    Spirit 90-1

    Ben Duckett, collar turned up and sunglasses placed on his cap, tweaks his field as Luke Matt Milnes returns to the attack.

    A yorker on leg and Joe Cracknell turns into it a full toss, smearing it through deep mid-wicket for six.

    This time a burly chap in the crowd opens his bucket hands and takes the catch. Good take. He looks like he has played a bit of cricket.

    Joe Cracknell was struggling to start with but he's just starting to get going.

    Spirit 75-1

    Qais Ahmad feels the full force of Joe Cracknell's bat, as the Spirit batter smashes him for a maximum over deep mid-wicket. A fellow with a beard is under it, but he spills it.

    Next ball he works it through fine leg for four more.

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

    Dropped catch

    A full toss from Ryan Higgins and Josh Inglis looks to cash in by whipping it to square leg. He's not quite middled it though and Matt Critchley barely has to move...but he shells it. Oh dear.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Joe Cracknell is under pressure here.

  17. Spirit 59-1

    Joe Cracknell is struggling to get going with nine from six balls as Matt Critchley keeps him tied down in the rest of that set.

  18. Spirit 57-1

    Josh Inglis gives himself some room, backing away to leg, and pumps Josh Cobb through the covers for four with a powerful drive.

  19. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That's a glorious shot. Josh Inglis is hitting the ball with great ferocity.

  20. Spirit 53-1

    A slog sweep from Josh Inglis as he goes after Matt Critchley. It races away to the boundary for four. Bit of momentum building for London Spirit.
