5b to JM Bairstow, Nicked... taken! This time Bairstow gets bat on it, slightly fuller, 87mph, similar movement, albeit slightly wider, Bairstow goes hard down the ground and is squared up, Gregory does excellently at a wide first slip to dive forward and take the catch. 1/1 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 10 | 25 | 3 | 1.25 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | ||
30b to SPD Smith, Snicked and gone! Excellent from Tongue, pace off, into the surface, with enough skid to get it looping to Buttler off an advancing edge from a cross-bat shot. Did he see Smith coming? The Australian moved well before delivery and Tongue made the necessary adjustment. Smart bowling. 32/2 77b to TB Abell, 95b to CJ Green, Length, sits up, slapped... into the hands of long on! Not timed, high on the bat, taken by McKinney. 133/7 | ||||||||||

39b to LWP Wells, Brilliant from Currie and Gregory! Pace off, 71mph, Wells hard into a drive once more but realises too late that he's been done... and another smart, forward-moving catch from Gregory, at cover this time, as the ball pops up. 44/3 83b to SA Zaib, Oh no... dabbed in the air to Buttler! Pace off, into the deck, Zaib opts late to ramp that over the keeper but it goes too high and allows Buttler time to shuffle back a few paces and take a comfortable catch. 108/6 97b to PI Walter, Picture perfect yorker! 83mph, arrowing into the base of off stump from wide on the crease to the left-hander. Nailed. 134/8 | ||||||||||

66b to T Kohler-Cadmore, Smashed out to deep square... and caught by Noor Ahmad! He didn't have to move a muscle, TKC getting hold of that but purely with the toe. Could have launched that delivery anywhere as it sat up from a drag down.... 87/4 | ||||||||||

88b to TW Hartley, 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!. 107/7 90b to SW Currie, 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. 108/8 93b to Noor Ahmad, 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.. 110/9 | ||||||||||

13b to PD Salt, Brilliant from Chris Green! Short ball, dug in, Salt flips it around the corner and Green, streaming in from deep square, dives the final way to take that just above the ground!. 13/1 15b to BS McKinney, Tight to the stumps, into a length, skied... caught by Smith at mid on!. 14/2 20b to MS Chapman, Bingo! The punchline - full, outside off, knowing the drive is coming. Feet in concrete, edge flies through to Kohler-Cadmore at first slip, who makes no mistake.. 14/3 97b to S Baker, 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. 112/10 | ||||||||||

48b to H Klaasen, Klaasen fails again! Another low score for Klaasen, who charges and flicks Green high and around the corner but straight into the hands of Wells. 56/4 81b to JC Buttler, 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. 103/5 85b to L Gregory, 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. 106/6 | ||||||||||
