90b to TB Abell, away-swing on the full length, a huge wipe and a review for caught-behind. Rockets seemed fairly confident they heard something. Indeed they did! A scrape of bat on ball, and Abell's excellent knock is done. 131/3 | ||||||||||
| 15 | 8 | 17 | 2 | 1.13 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 0 | ||
15b to SPD Smith, goes for the ramp, gloves it to the keeper! That's a crucial breakthrough. Cook followed the batter as he inverted his stance, and ensured he was cramped for room as the ball got big on his intentions.. 19/1 36b to JM Bairstow, takes on the pull, scuffed to short backward square! just 80mph but the seam was bolt-upright, and Bairstow was hurried as he swung his blade across the stroke. Ferguson makes no mistake. 34/2 | ||||||||||

95b to BI Kellaway, attempts the ramp, that's too full and straight, and pace off too... off stump pegged back and this weird old innings takes another dip. 134/5 | ||||||||||

100b to T Kohler-Cadmore, slower ball, blazed out to deep midwicket... looked to be out of the ground, but Holden clung on well, and lobbed the ball back into play to guard against the stumble into the boundary rope. Here endeth the innings. 150/6 | ||||||||||

93b to MP Stoinis, goes for the ramp, doesn't get enough on it! Pace off from Payne, and Stoinis's option was the wrong one! Went for finesse when power might have been the better approach. Hull and Meredith converged behind the keeper, and Hull's big mitts do the needful!. 136/6 94b to DJ Willey, wide line, hacked off the full length, straight to long-on! Rockets are combusting! Willey backs his levers but it's a misfire on the front foot... and suddenly, Fire are edging into the ascendancy!. 136/7 | ||||||||||

88b to GF Linde, clubbed off the toes, but Kellaway clings on at backward square! It was a solid contact from Linde, flicking up and into the full length, it was fast, it was swirling, but he leapt back and across to cling on brilliantly... this one isn't done yet!. 131/5 | ||||||||||
| 19 | 6 | 34 | 2 | 1.78 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | ||
76b to MDE Holden, slower through the air, Holden is forced to reach for the width outside off, and he holes out to deep cover! Those long square boundaries are hard to clear, and Holden's innings ends in familiar Cardiff fashion. 116/3 79b to TJ Moores, leans back, holes out to mid-off! Now then, this is the set that Fire ordered! Neither here nor there from Moores, merely a half-baked swing through the length outside off... Root remains impassive at the other end, but there's a bit of jeopardy now. 118/4 | ||||||||||

33b to T Banton, round the wicket, uses the angle to perfection! Banton was required to chase the width that was created by the ball shaping away from his advances, and Tom Abell tracked back at mid-off to take a cool top-edge over his shoulder. 66/1 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 1.60 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||
52b to Rehan Ahmed, another wipe from Rehan, but he's clothed this one! That was in his arc, but he didn't find the timing to clear mid-on. Zaib strikes second ball to give Fire a flicker. 88/2 | ||||||||||
