Fire vs Originals, 12th Match at Cardiff, Men's Hundred, Aug 13 2025 - Match Result

That's all she wrote! Yorker into the base of middle stump, stumps akimbo, Meredith wins it and finishes with 4 for 9 from 17 deliveries, the best figures of the season so far. Brilliant from him, brilliant from Chris Green. The Aussies have come up trumps for the Welsh. And David Payne, of course. Originals will feel they've botched it but Fire dug deep to claim their first win of the campaign

Rapido! Blitzed through at 88mph, right over the top of the stumps, as Baker backs away

Slow again, bunted back down to long on

Slowed up, sits in the deck, defended into the off side

Length, heaved... and Green's taken a brilliant catching back-peddling into a dive! Just a foot or so away from the sponge when he lands. A full night out for the Australian, doing party tricks now having settled the game with his bowling.

Sits up, dabbed to point, single taken

Scuffed into the off side

Short, pulled.. but spooned back to Payne! Currie completely botches the pull and ends up toeing back to Payne, who tumbles forward to take the catch

Hung out wide, slow at 66mph, Noor Ahmad bunts out to deep cover

Taken by Walter! Easy as you like, Hartley charges and it's held out wide, throws the bat but can only scuff across the line, taken at mid on. By no means a clean catch but it's taken!

Swing and a miss! Excellent from Payne, pace off - not all that much at 69mph - but enough to get the cut going with a bit of bounce as Hartley finds air

Full, straight, lifted high... but falls in no man's land at mid on, with the fielder set back and mid off very wide...

No matter! Green takes out the two in-batters, both at cow corner as Abell nestles under a real skier that hangs in the air for an age. Calm as you like. What an over

Into the pitch hard, sits up and hammered out to midwicket where Abell fields.... but Hartley is heading back for the second as the throw come sin... Green collects but throws to the keeper's end instead of his own which would have had Hartley dead in the water!

Tight to the stumps, length again, but doesn't bounce. Gregory tries to do what Buttler could not and find the boundary out to deep midwicket but ends up wearing it on the inside thigh

Length, outside off, Hartley cuts off a thick edge to short third and gets called through for the single by Gregory

Short, sits up... and lands in the hands of deep midwicket! What a huge wicket that is, Abell with the catch. Buttler is livid. That really should have made it into the stands but he just snatched at it a touch. Good composure from Abell and Green is PUMPED

Nice finish, pace off, angled in, grips a bit, Gregory's attempt to launch down the ground finds nothing but air

Follows him again, cuts firmly but straight to Kohler-Cadmore at cover

Gregory has come to the party! An advancing slap over mid off, Walter slows it down and Gregory holds his nerve and executes a flamingo strike over extra cover
