    Good stuff from Parnell! But Welsh Fire didn't get off to a good enough start. The start set the tone for the rest of the innings. It's not the easiest surface to bat on and I imagine the Superchargers will be quite proactive.

    Fire 114-4

    Finished with a single.

    Not a great inning from winless Welsh Fire, there'll need some bowling performance to grab a first victory in their final home match in this year's competition.

    But, you never know what a good score is until both teams have batted. A couple of quick wickets and the Superchargers could be in trouble.

    Can they finish off with a couple of fireworks here? It's hit high and an attempted catch from Lyth. Did well to stop that.

  4. Fire 113-4

    Duckett 63, Du Plooy 21

    Ben Duckett goes big and Adam Lyth only just stops the ball on the boundary. Two more runs.

  5. Fire 111-4

    Ben Duckett adds two more with another pull shot.

  6. Fire 109-4

    Ben Duckett can't get a yorker away. Dot.

  7. Fire 109-4

    Du Plooy pulls Parnell for a single.

  8. Fire 108-4

    And a single to finish David Willey's set. His 20 balls go for 0-17 with 10 dots. Brilliant stuff from the England man.

    Wayne Parnell will bowl the final five deliveries.

  9. Fire 107-4

    The boundaries stop with two more singles off the next two balls.

  10. Fire 105-4

    And another four from Duckett, this time a flat drive past the bowler.

  11. Nikesh Rughani

    What a way for Duckett to bring up his fifty! He knows the job is not yet done.

  12. 50 runs

    Fifty for Ben Duckett

    Fire 101-4

    David Willey returns to the attack and Ben Duckett immediately hammers a tennis shot over his head for four.

    That's his fifty off 41 balls and it also brings up Welsh Fire's 100.

  14. Fire 97-4

    Duckett 49, Du Plooy 20

    Duckett will keep the strike with 10 balls to go as he pushes through a quick single.

  15. Tom Abell
    Somerset all-rounder on BBC radio

    A little bit of innovation from Duckett. He didn't quite execute the previous ball but gets it this time.

  16. Fire 96-4

    More like it. This time Ben Duckett's scoop comes off as he chips the ball over the keeper for four.

    Duckett moves on to 48 off 39.

  17. Fire 91-4

    Great bowling. Wiese's first two balls go for a dot and a single.

    This has been some bowling performance from the Superchargers.

  18. Fire 90-4

    Duckett 43, Du Plooy 19

    And another dot to finish as Ben Duckett can't make a connection trying to scoop one over his shoulder.

    David Wiese is set to bowl the next five.

  19. Nikesh Rughani
    BBC Radio

    Good bowling from Willey. It's burst their bubble a little bit.

  20. Fire 90-4

    Duckett 43, Du Plooy 19

    A single and a valuable dot.
