    WICKET

    Filer st Mooney b Schutt 6 (Fire 114-9)

    Four and out.

    Lauren Filer attempts another big shot, but Beth Mooney snaffles the ball and takes the stumps with Filer short of her crease.

  2. Fire 114-8

    Lovely shot! Lauren Filer smashes Megan Schutt for four valuable runs.

  3. Fire 110-8

    Alex Hartley nabs a single first ball as the pair are able to complete the run safely this time.

  4. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Two

    That could be a bit of nerves. Probably her first game at Lord's and she was just trying to get off the mark.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Nicholas run out (Dean) 0 (Fire 109-8)

    Hit straight to the fielder, Claire Nicholas sets off for the single, Lauren Filer at the other end doesn't, and that's eight wickets down.

    It's all unravelling for Welsh Fire. Spirit firmly in control.

  6. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Two

    Amelia Kerr is so clever. She took all the pace off that one. She went around the wicket, changed the angle slightly and held it back in her hands to present an easy stumping opportunity for Mooney.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Carey st Mooney b Kerr 28 (Fire 109-7)

    And there it is. Amelia Kerr gets her second and Welsh Fire's batting woes continue.

    Nicola Carey had to go for it, as the last recognised batter, but is undone by a fine delivery from Kerr and Beth Mooney does the rest behind the stumps.

  8. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Two

    It's been very hard to get Amelia Kerr away today.

  9. Fire 109-6

    Lauren Filer does well, takes a single from the first ball to get Carey back on strike.

    But Carey just can't get the next two away as Amelia Kerr heaps the pressure on.

  10. A fine spell of bowling from Freya Davies.

    She finishes with 3-24 from her 20 balls.

  12. Fire 108-6

    Nicola Carey has got to face as many of these final 10 balls as possible. Fire don't have the strongest lower order, so she will know her responsibility.

    What can Spirit restrict them to?

  13. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Two

    She had to go for the big shot, it's that stage of the innings.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    George c Schutt b Davies 4 (Fire 107-6)

    Another one down.

    Katie George tries to kick the scoreboard along but picks out the fielder. Fire are going to finish with a below par score here, by the looks of things.

  15. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Two

    If they get 135, they can fight with that. The Fire had a very good bowling performance last time.

  16. Fire 106-5

    Every run is a valuable commodity for Welsh Fire right now.

    Nicola Carey smashes Freya Davies for four.

  17. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Lord’s

    There’s a game of one hand one bounce going on below the media centre. It was briefly interrupted by a group of youngsters charging across the ‘pitch’ to chase Moeen Ali for a selfie.

    I can confirm he stopped for every request.

  18. Fire 102-5

    Welsh Fire bring up their 100, but with only 15 balls left it doesn't look like it will be enough. The pitch has looked good for batting and the outfield has been fast.

  19. Issy Wong
    Birmingham Phoenix & England bowler on BBC Two

    Mooney probably had the worst seat in the house to tell whether there was any bat on that.

  20. Not out

    Pad. No lbw.

    On we go.
