    A fantastic start for the Welsh Fire but there's still a lot of work to do here.

  3. Superchargers 0-0

    Target 124

    The Fire are in a huddle after making their way onto the field and have a score to defend

  4. Interval

    Target 124

    Alyssa Healy and Laura Wolvaardt are expected to open the batting for the Superchargers.

    Wolvaardt is having a great tournament so far and should be in confident mood, she is the second highest run scorer going into today’s match.

  5. Interval

    Target 124

    Thanks Josef.

    The burning question is will Welsh Fire be able to register their first win of the competition or will Superchargers chase down the target? We will know the answer in about an hour from now.

  6. Right, I'm off to grab some food folks.

    I'll leave you in the very capable hands of Tawhid Qureshi who will take you through the Superchargers' chase.

  7. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Radio

    Welsh Fire have got the runs on the board now, but can they defend them?

  8. We hadn't seen a six at all across the first 96 deliveries. We finished with two maximums off the last four balls.

    Momentum is a funny old thing in cricket. Surely the Welsh Fire will be the happier of the two sides at the interval.

  17. Tom Abell
    Somerset all-rounder on BBC radio

    A bit of miscommunication from the batters there. At this point you have to take as many risks as you can and get the two runs.
