paddled between stumps and keeper!
Spirit vs Fire, 6th Match at Cardiff, Men's Hundred, Aug 09 2025 - Live Cricket Score
slower delivery wide of off stump, swing and a miss. Well bowled
89mph, full in the channel, Green hacks one to deep third
short ball with pace off, wide line and Bairstow has to jump and drag it leg side for one
Fire still just about in range. Gleeson for his last set
full toss, pounded over long-on! Dawson fails to get out of the over. Bad ball to finish a good allocation and YJB bottom-hands it cleanly into the crowd!
pushed through and YJB pulls hard, gets a ballooning top edge over the keeper for two more!
flat on the stumps and swung to leg. Wood slides along the boundary to cut it off. Did he let go of the ball before his feet hit the toblerone? No! Four more and fifty up for Bairstow! He's kept the home Fire(s) burning tonight
speared in, through the legs as Bairstow sweeps! Brilliantly bowled, and well held by Smith
driven into the pitch wide of off. Could have been left, but Green toe-ends one into the covers
Dawson has one set left. Fire have to try to take him down...
Decent from Gleeson, despite the six
goes for the blockhole, dug out to long-on
length ball, 73mph, swatted away to deep backward square leg
banged in, 85mph and swiped to mid-off for one
goes up like a mortar shell... and lands over the rope! A jumping cut shot from Green, hit high and handsome in front of square, it's a long square boundary, but Wood's dive on the rope is in vain
fired down at 88mph, Bairstow can't get a good connection and it bobbles into the off side
Fire need 61 from 25, still almost 2.5 RPB. Gleeson returns
Overton goes for the yorker again, 83mph and squirted out through cover for one
short with pace off, picks the gap! Green has to reach out in front, plays a forehand smash that disappears through midwicket
short ball, swung leg side. Inside half of the bat and it trickles through midwicket
fires in the yorker, right at the toes. Bairstow can only dig it out
short and hoicked out towards cow corner. Warner gives full-blooded chase and saves one on his knees
JOverton again
"This feels like I'm watching a version of the 1st innings that has been poorly remixed." Might be that the needle has just landed back in the groove, Akash
hammered straight! Is it too little, too late for Welsh Fire? It's brought the crowd some cheer, nevertheless. Full outside off and YJB creams back past mid-off
