    Jack Olsburgh: If I’m honest, I’ve been surprised by how low the scores have been so far in the Hundred. 155 should be a par score. 160 is the par score in T20 & the Hundred format is 16.6% shorter - translating to a par score of 155.5. Since each wicket carries less risk.

  2. Here are some of the best bits from that first innings...

    Welsh Fire came out fighting. They took advantage of that 25-ball powerplay and didn't really stop there.

  4. Really Jonny? You surprise me.

  5. Welsh Fire's Jonny Bairstow on Sky Sports: "We'd have taken 173 at the start of the game."

  6. Cheers Kal.

    Well, what an absolute slog-fest that first innings was!

    It is going to have to be some chase for the Superchargers to even get close.

  7. Northern Superchargers will need 174 to win. They will also need Ben Stokes to rock up to the party.

    Taking you through the remainder of the match will be Phil Dawkes.

    Enjoy!

    It has been a good last five balls for Welsh Fire. The faster you bowl, the further it goes.

    That is nailed.

  10. 6 runs

    Fire 173-4

    Oh my, what a way to finish the innings. Jimmy Neesham goes big with another six on the leg side!

    This is some score from Welsh Fire!

  11. Fire 169-4

    Four from Neesham! Fire are on... fire?

  12. Fire 162-4

    Top edge and it's caught by Mujeeb on the boundary. You can't be out off a no-ball and Fire run two.

  13. Scott Read
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That's clobbered!

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Welsh Fire built a brilliant platform - they accelerated through the innings.

  15. 6 runs

    Fire 160-4

    Ian Cockbain swings and he swings hard! Six down the ground!

    And to add insult to injury, it's a no-ball. So we have a free hit.

  16. Brydon Carse to bowl the final five. He has the ability to mix it up and keep the batters thinking.

  17. Fire 151-4

    Delightful from Neesham as he plays a late cut and the ball goes to the left of Simpson behind the stumps for four.

    But a solid set of five from Mujeeb, conceding just seven.

  18. Matthew Henry

    After that wicket on one side of the ground I can see one young girl - maybe only three or four years old - dancing to the music. On the other there's a beer snake building on the Western Terrace...

  19. Fire 144-4

    So then, the final 10. Welsh Fire will be looking for at least a few boundaries.

    He tried to go up and over mid-off but he just got the bottom of the bat.
