That's an outrageous shot from Joe Clarke - a rampy flick over the wicketkeeper's head for six.

It's good stuff from New Zealand international Sodhi who does not concede a boundary after that wicket.
He gets a hand on one smashed back at him from Joe Clarke but I'm not even going to get the dropped catch icon out for that. It would have broken Sodhi's hand had he got it there.
Fire 68-3published at 45 balls left
Ish Sodhi is going to keep on bowling and deliver 10 in a row from the Taff End.

That Sams catch follows him dismissing Stevie Eskinazi a few moments ago too.

Wells c Sams b Sodhi 8 (Fire 65-3)
Scratch that. Luke Wells' reprieve has little impact as he is caught a few balls later. Daniel Sams succeeds where Colin Munro failed in taking the catch.

Now can Luke Wells make Munro pay for that drop?
He sweeps fine for four out of the reach of the sprawling Samit Patel.
The momentum is with the hosts all of a sudden.

Joe Clarke has made it back and he gets an extra four, on top of the two he had already run!
The equation is 92 from 50 balls to win now.

And now we have a run-out review.
The ball has deflected for four too so this would be a big swing either way.

How has Colin Munro dropped this?
He was brilliant with the bat but has put Wells down after the ball was hit straight to him.

Eskinazi c Root b Sams 25 (Fire 43-2)
Joe Root doesn't drop those. Stevie Eskinazi goes for another six over the leg side but gets it badly wrong. The ball just goes high into the darkening sky. Root takes a few strides in and catches it easily.
Rockets are well on top.

Just as the pressure was starting to build, Stevie Eskinazi clubs spinner Samit Patel for six.
They need a few more of those.

Target 153
Lewis Gregory, more than a part-timer but not one of the frontline Rockets quicks, sees this an opportunity to sneak himself in for five balls.
He does pretty well, conceding only five.

Target 153
Clarke has Luke Wood to deal with right away too with the blonde-haired left-arm seamer charging in.
A single brings Stephen Eskinazi onto strike and the opener lifts Wood for a much-needed boundary back over the bowler's head.

He's got a good record against Rockets' opening bowler Luke Wood too.
He's only been dismissed once in five innings against the left-armer, and has helped himself to 65 runs off 32 balls.
