    Six more. Dawid Malan doesn't bat this well in his dreams. He has 73 from 28 balls.

    And Tammy Beaumont has gone, stumped by Amy Jones off the bowling of Sophie Devine.

    She goes for 39 runs off 34 balls and with that dismissal, you feel like the Welsh Fire's chances against Birmingham Phoenix have fizzled out.

    The hosts need 59 more runs to win off 30 balls.

    Malan with a fine shot for six. Goodness me, we're watching some fine cricket here.

    I don't know what to say anymore. Two more sixes off Matt Parkinson.

    The Originals need a bit of magic from Parkinson. He can do it, he's a fine bowler.

    WHAT. IS. HAPPENING? Tom Kohler-Cadmore goes into the stands. That's almost a 'no-look six'.

    Extraordinary.

    Malan is a class act. The best part is that he is so orthodox in his approach, he's not like the new generation, always trying to hit big sixes.

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore joins the party! Remarkably Trent Rockets are surely favourites at the halfway stage.

  10. Beaumont leading Fire women's chargepublished at 16:39 British Summer Time 13 August 2022

    You feel Tammy Beaumont needs to stay until the end if Welsh Fire are to pull off the biggest ever chase in the women's Hundred.

    She's on 39 off 33 balls with the Fire needing 67 more runs off 35 deliveries.

    Six! You bet Malan will keep on attacking.

    He scored 88 not out the other night and now has a fifty from just 23 balls.

    £125,000 worth of West Indian monster. Look at the size of him - and those orange boots!

    This is the battle, Russell v Malan.

    West Indies superstar all-rounder Andre Russell is on. What will Dawid Malan do now?

    Attack - probably...

    The Originals have managed to pull things back a little bit the last few balls. There haven't been too many big shots.

    The experienced Paul Walter runs through a tidy set of five balls. The scoring rate has just started to slow a little. It's tight.

    Saqib Mahmood told us earlier that Jos Buttler is softly spoken but he can be very stern and get his point across when he needs to. It looks like that is exactly what he did in that timeout.

    We could have good finishes in both matches. Stay right here for updates on what is turning into a great day of Hundred action.

    Beaumont scoops Devine for six

    Halfway through their chase Welsh Fire are on 75-2 needing a further 87 runs to win off 50 balls.

    Birmingham Phoenix were 91-3 at this stage.

    Rachael Haynes has been the latest Fire batter to fall, being caught in the deep off the bowling of Georgia Elwiss for 14 runs.

    But Tammy Beaumont is still ticking along nicely on 35 off 28.

    Need 105 more runs to win

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore has come in at number three for the Rockets. They have to keep attacking - they have little choice.

    Wrist spinners can go for a few runs but they are always a wicket-taking threat.

    A soft dismissal for Alex Hales.
