11b to JM Vince, booming drive, splats his own stumps! Vince's bleak tournament ends with a whimper. Vince steps into the full length, unfurling his wrists in familiar fashion. But back goes middle as Brave sink further. 9/2
80b to JJ Roy, pace off again, plops to mid-off! A tame end to a mighty innings. Roy looked to give it more humpty but Payne found his length well and turned off the afterburners. Smith wasn't going to drop that. 128/6

8b to TE Albert, scuffs the pull, straight back to the bowler! That was telegraphed by Meredith's first ball. Albert was hurried by the short ball, and cramped as the bowler followed him down the leg-side. A big wind-up across the line was wellied high on the splice, straight back to Meredith who gathered in his followthrough. 9/1
75b to LJ Evans, battered through the line, but straight at TKC! Evans looked for the launch as well, but though he timed it well enough, it was straight at long-off. A simpler take than the du Plooy dismissal. 127/5

27b to JM Coles, makes room to leg, has a hack through the length ball, loses his middle stump! Canny stump-to-stump line from Kellaway, and the third wicket goes down. 34/3

60b to JL du Plooy, down on one knee, brilliantly caught at long-off! Du Plooy got right underneath his attempted launch, and the ball spooned high and slowly through the line, dying on Kohler-Cadmore as he skidded into the frame with his fingers under the ball. Superb. 89/4

20102231.102010
1b to SS Eskinazi, width, flashed straight to point! A limp, wristy waft through a loosener way outside off, and that sums up Fire's season in a shot!. 0/1
5b to SPD Smith, good grief, thumped off the back foot, to Roy at point! Smith climbs into the wide line, can't get over his stroke, and it's scooped up with a dive, low to his left!. 5/2
41b to TB Abell, attempts the ramp, feathered to the keeper! Golden arm does it again! Abell falls across to the off-side, looking to loft the ball over the head of the keeper. But he can't get a big enough piece of it, and Albert gathers a low unconventional snick off the glove. 51/4
2072921.451121
15b to JM Bairstow, full length, tight line, Bairstow drives with flat feet, a regulation nick to the keeper. This innings is in freefall. 13/3
98b to T Kohler-Cadmore, pace off, dragged on! What a response from Thompson! He was making a mess of it in those first few balls, but out comes the back-of-the-hander, perfect length, outside off, demanding aggression from TKC, but his flatfooted swing demolishes his own stumps!. 161/6
2062401.202000
2054512.253400
80b to BI Kellaway, on the back foot, punched to cover! Huge final ball! Vince dives forward in the covers to atone for his earlier drop. Kellaway couldn't get the elevation on his launch, a critical stand is broken!. 132/5
