  1. Fire 57-4

    Duckett 27, Du Plooy 3

    Ben Duckett blocks Rashid first up with a forward defence.

    That sort of game.

  2. Fire 57-4

    Where do the Welsh Fire go from here then?

    Things have been so slow going even a score of 120 looks unlikely right now.

    Adil Rashid will bowl his final five balls next.

    There's a lot of talent in this Welsh Fire side but it just seems like no one is on form.

  4. Fire 55-4

    New batter Leus du Plooy starts with a two.

    Good piece of bowling from Miles,. When it rains it pours and that's the way it's going for the Welsh Fire.

  6. WICKET

    Miller b Miles 3 (Fire 53-4)

    From bad to worse for Welsh Fire.

    Big-hitter David Miles goes for just three runs, chopping on off the bowling of Craig Miles.

    Miles now has figures of 2-14 after 12 balls.

    It's a decent set there from Fire but we're going to need some acceleration at some point. Let's see some aggression.

  8. Fire 52-3

    A decent five balls, 10 runs from it. The Fire need plenty more like that.

  9. Fire 50-3

    A sign of intent?

    Ben Duckett gets a rare four, driving David Wiese through the covers. That brings up the Welsh Fire's fifty too after 53 balls.

  10. Fire 45-3

    We're halfway through the Welsh Fire's innings. The homes fans have had very little to cheer about with the Northern Superchargers dominating across all aspects.

  11. Post update

    50 balls to go
  12. Fire 45-3

    Miller 1, Duckett 20

    David Miller is the next batter in. He gets off the mark with a single through the off side.

    Rashid gets his man! A pretty simple catch out there in deep mid wicket.

  14. WICKET

    Critchley c Miles b Rashid 3 (Fire 44-3)

    Adil Rashid has his wicket.

    He frustrates the Fire with a run of dots and Matt Critchley can't keep still any longer, trying to slog sweep him for six.

    But he can't get enough on it and is caught on the leg-side boundary.

  15. Fire 44-2

    But Rashid responds well, limiting Duckett to just a single to close out.

    And the Superchargers will continue with their star spinner. He'll bowl another five.

    Duckett is a fine player and another England international. It will be interesting to see how he finishes off this season.

  17. Fire 43-2

    Adil Rashid continues. Ben Duckett knocks him around for three twos to start his latest set.

  18. Fire 37-2

    A much-needed boundary from Ben Duckett to finish the set as he tickles a shorter delivery to the fine-leg boundary for four.

    Faf du Plessis with a superman style, got a palm to it but couldn't hold on. That would've been a spectacular catch.

  20. Duckett dropped on nine

    Fire 31-2

    That would have been fantastic!

    Ben Duckett chips one which Superchargers skipper Faf du Plessis very nearly picks out the air with a superb dive to his left.

    He gets his finger tips to it but can't hold on.
