  1. Fire 26-4published at 35 balls

    The runs scored are still very much lagging behind the balls bowled and in this format, that's never good.

    Miller b Fuller 15 (Fire 25-4)

    Full and straight from Fuller and it does the trick. Miller looks to whip it away leg-side and it goes straight through him before rattling the stumps.

    I've been in some sticky situations but you've just got to keep smiling - you're lucky to be out there.

  5. Fire 21-3published at 30 balls

    Slowly and steadily, the Fire are ticking along after that early jolt.

    But 'slow and steady' doesn't fit the bill in this format does it? Come on lads, a couple of boundaries now would be nice.

    The lowest power play innings in the Hundred was London Spirit's 17-2 last year so Welsh Fire are joint level with that.

    Southern Brave's Jake Lintott on player mic: "We could have done with this a little bit earlier in the tournament! A great start from Garts. He swings the ball really nice, challenges the stumps."

  10. Fire 17-3published at 25 balls

    A couple of wides and an absolute peach to finish from Hogan.

    Whatever runs you make on this wicket, they're probably worth twice as many.

    Close, but not close enough.

  12. Brave reviewpublished at 24 balls

    The Brave fancy Clarke's got a faint tickle on this one.

    It was a strangle down the leg-side and they went up in appeal as it settled into de Kock's gloves.

    Nothing on Ultra-Edge though so it won't be a fourth wicket.

  13. That's a recordpublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 22 August 2022

    The BBC Two commentators have had the statisticians crunching the numbers and they say Welsh Fire's collapse to 1-3 after seven balls is officially the worst-ever start in The Hundred and T20 cricket in England and Wales.

  14. Fire 11-3published at 20 balls

    Miller finally gets one away. A lovely flick off his pads and it races through to the deep mid-wicket fence.

    Still looks like run-scoring is going to be really hard here.

    Garton steams in for his third set, keep him going James Vince!

    The floodgates have opened! Two runs off two balls!

  17. Fire 5-3published at 15 balls

    Well, the runs have finally overtaken the wickets and it's taken the Fire three sets.

    A double-digit total on the cards? What do you reckon folks?

  18. Fire 1-3published at 10 balls

    Talk about starts and the Brave have gotten off to probably the best one of the season so far.

    What do you even do when you're three down after the first 10 balls? Maybe Clarke and Miller can show us.

    The Fire's sorry batting performances carry on.

    You want to set a platform, make use of the power play.

    They've got a mountain to climb to put any sort of score up now.
