89mph, full in the channel, Green hacks one to deep third

86
1

short ball with pace off, wide line and Bairstow has to jump and drag it leg side for one

Dawson to Bairstow, SIX runs

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!

84
2
Dawson to Bairstow, 2 runs

pushed through and YJB pulls hard, gets a ballooning top edge over the keeper for two more!

83
4
Dawson to Bairstow, FOUR runs

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

82
Dawson to Bairstow, no run

speared in, through the legs as Bairstow sweeps! Brilliantly bowled, and well held by Smith

81
1
Dawson to Green, 1 run

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...

1
Gleeson to Green, 1 run

banged in, 85mph and swiped to mid-off for one

77
6
Gleeson to Green, SIX runs

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

76
1
Gleeson to Bairstow, 1 run

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

short with pace off, picks the gap! Green has to reach out in front, plays a forehand smash that disappears through midwicket

73
1
Overton to Bairstow, 1 run

short ball, swung leg side. Inside half of the bat and it trickles through midwicket

72
Overton to Bairstow, no run

fires in the yorker, right at the toes. Bairstow can only dig it out

71
3
Overton to Green, 3 runs

short and hoicked out towards cow corner. Warner gives full-blooded chase and saves one on his knees

JOverton again

Luke Wood 1/27 (15)

"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

70
4
Wood to Bairstow, FOUR runs

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
