    Wilson c & b Gunn 5 (Fire 78-4)

    Well that's definitely out.

    Fran Wilson drives the ball straight back to bowler Jenny Gunn who clings on to thanks to some superb reflexes.

    The Superchargers have the momentum now.

    I've just seen the replay. That would have been given out.

  3. Fire 77-3published at 70 balls

    Big shout as Heather Graham thinks she's got Fran Wilson leg before.

    Not out says the umpires and the Superchargers chose not to review it. Is that the right decision? Looked pretty out to me.

  4. Fire 71-3published at 65 balls

    Wilson 0, Sutherland 13

    Close!

    Alice Davidson-Richards fires in the first ball to new batter Fran Wilson who nearly chops on to her wicket.

    Luckily for her, the ball ricochets off her bat on to her pads, not stumps.

    You can never tell until both sides have batted on the pitch but I reckon, from up here, around 130 would be a decent total.

  6. Fire 70-3published at 63 balls

    And another four from Sutherland, this time with a dab through backward-point.

  7. Fire 66-3published at 61 balls

    Annabel Sutherland has got to be the batter to build a score for the Fire now. She looks good at the moment, driving Alice Davidson-Richards through the covers for four.

    It was the right option trying to find the gap. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't.

    It was a nice piece of bowling, she just took the pace off.

    WICKETpublished at 60 balls

    Bryce c Gunn b Levick 36 (Fire 62-3)

    That's the wicket they wanted!

    Sarah Bryce, on 36 off 30, goes for one big shot too many. Trying to go over the top she mistimes the ball and sees it fly straight to the fielder at mid off.

    A key dismissal.

  10. Fire 62-2published at 58 balls

    Shot!

    Annabel Sutherland pulls Katie Levick but her classy shot doesn't quite find the ropes with a sweeping fielder preventing a boundary with a dive.

    That's a great set by Linsey Smith. Her length has been fantastic, the control, not letting batters get away and a little bit of grip which is good to see.

  12. Fire 57-2published at 55 balls

    Linsey Smith's 20 balls come to an end, finishing with a dot that just beats Sarah Bryce's off-stump.

    Smith finishes on figures of 0-13, after bowling 10 dots.

    It is a nice piece of bowling from Lucy Higham. I think Rachael Haynes tried to go over extra cover but it looped up for a pretty straightforward catch.

    This is a tricky little period for the new batter coming in as Sarah Bryce is looking well set on 35 and will try to get Fire up to a good score.

  14. Fire 57-2published at 52 balls

    The pressure builds. Number four Annabel Sutherland is unable to read Linsey Smith and get off strike.

    Haynes c Armitage b Higham 4 (Fire 56-2)

    Instant impact from bowler Lucy Higham.

    Racheal Haynes tries to target the allrounder, coming down the ground but her attacking shot loops up into the air and Superchargers skipper Hollie Armitage takes an easy catch to remove the Australian.

    Great footwork from Sarah Bryce. She used the depth of the crease there and hit it wide of mid-wicket. Beautiful shot.

  18. Fire 53-1published at 45 balls

    Shot.

    Sarah Bryce is on good form, pouncing on a short ball from spinner Katie Levick and pushing it through the leg side for four.

    That's the Fire's fifty too, coming up after 45 balls.

  19. Fire 47-1published at 40 balls

    Bryce 27, Haynes 2

    Another tidy set. Alice Davidson-Richards' first five balls go for five runs.

    The pressure is starting to build up again. The Welsh fire could do with another boundary.

  20. Fire 42-1published at 35 balls

    New batter Rachael Haynes gets off strike with a quick single.

    Great set from Jenny Gunn. Now will next bowler Alice Davidson-Richards be able to kick things on?
