23b to TT Beaumont, what a grab that is, and Beaumont has to go! Length ball outside off, and Beaumont thinks this is there to be hit. To be fair, she has a case too. She takes a step down and hacks at it. Gets a good chunk of it too and for the longest while, it looks that she will clear mid on. Until...Bouchier springs out of nowhere, flings out her hands to her left and holds on to a very sharp chance. Top, top work, and Bell, the leading wicket-taker in the competition's history, has a wicket yet again!. 32/2 93b to SJ Bryce, deceived all ends up! This is a beautifully-disguised slower ball, dipping and dropping on a length on middle and leg. Bryce does not read it at all and swings a week too early. Misses the ball and then hears the rattle of leg stump soon after. Bell gets her second, and the Fire lose another!. 101/5 | ||||||||||

8b to HK Matthews, massive lbw shout, given! A golden duck for Hayley Matthews! Zinged in full on middle and leg. Matthews falls across a touch and then fails to access the ball. Gets pinned on the front pad right in front and the finger goes up. Matthews casts half a look at her partner before deciding to walk off without reviewing. Devine on the board early!. 14/1 76b to JL Jonassen, in the air, and caught at deep square leg! Off-pace and into the track on middle and. Jonassen chances her arm, hitting to the longer square boundaries, but does not have enough pace to work with. Launches it towards Wolvaardt, who settles a couple of yards inside the fence and takes it reverse-cupped. Vital wicket at this stage, given the damage Jonassen can inflict!. 82/4 | ||||||||||

43b to SIR Dunkley, nicked and gone! Shortish just outside off and this seems to bounce just a touch extra. Dunkley wants to cut it away but the ball is just too close for the stroke. All she manages is a feather and Southby does brilliantly to snare a sharp chance. Dunkley offered promise, but she now has to walk back for a 25-ball 31!. 49/3 | ||||||||||

96b to KL George, brilliant from Tryon, brilliant from Southby, and George has to go! This is looped up very generously. Goes above George's eyeline and that is her cue to skip down. Gets done in the flight completely, though, and the ball dips on her to get right under the bat. Sneaks past the toe-end and Southby watches it all the way, gathering it and then whipping off the bails in a flash!. 106/6 | ||||||||||

88b to SFM Devine, goes straight up, and taken! The Welsh Fire are fighting! Tossed up full on middle and off, and this drops on Devine devilishly. She hares down, trying to smoke this into the river, but is too far away from the pitch of the ball. Swings at it wildly nevertheless and all she manages is a slice towards backward point, where Davies makes no mistake!. 101/6 | ||||||||||

47b to ME Bouchier, straight through Bouchier! Slanted in on a back of a length just outside off. The ball drifts in and then comes in further with the arm. Bouchier, shaping for the late cut, does not have the requisite room to work with, and ends up missing it altogether. Off stump knocked back, and the Fire have two wickets in quick succession!. 56/2 50b to L Wolvaardt, two in four balls for Jonassen, and the Fire are making this tough for the Brave! Given plenty of air on a fullish length outside off. Wolvaardt looks for that favoured cover drive of hers but has to reach out for this, having been deceived in the air. Slashes it tamely and cover point does the rest. Now then. Now then.... 57/3 82b to FG Kemp, in the air, and taken, eventually! Jonassen dangles the carrot outside off, and Kemp bites. She looks to go downtown but is beaten in flight, meaning she has to reach out in front. Clinks it off the toe-end towards long off, where Ismail juggles it once and then holds on. Not the cleanest catch of all time, but that will do for now!. 98/4 84b to CL Tryon, balloons up, and Beaumont snaffles it up! Fizzed through on a length, in and around off, and this seems to stick in the surface. Tryon, looking to work to leg, gets a tame leading edge and the ball hangs in the air agonizingly. Beaumont tracks it from extra cover, sprints forward and then lunges at it to complete the catch. Is there life in this game still?!. 98/5 | ||||||||||

38b to DN Wyatt, superb grab by Jonassen at mid off, and Wyatt-Hodge perishes! Given a bit of air outside off. Wyatt-Hodge skips down and slams it powerfully towards mid off. Jonassen times her jump to perfection and gets both of her hands around the ball to clasp it. That was hit very hard, and Jonassen has done brilliantly to gobble that up. Is that window of opportunity the Fire were after?. 48/1 | ||||||||||
