W
Tongue to Chris Green, out Caught by McKinney!! Chris Green holes out! 74mph, pace off from Tongue, Walter clears his front leg to heave it across the line, He's early into his shot and hence the timing goes awry.

92
6

88
6
Sonny Baker to Chris Green, SIX, 87mph, shortish ball angling in, Green uses the bowler's pace and angle to his advantage as he heaves it over deep midwicket for a 77m six. The man in the deep can only watch it sail over his head
83
W
Scott Currie to Saif Zaib, out Caught by Buttler!! Scott Currie has the last laugh against the left-hander. Banged in short and Zaib arches back to periscope it over the keeper. Ends up lobbing it a long way up in the air and Buttler - the keeper - backpedals to pouch it. Saif Zaib c Buttler b Scott Currie 15(11) [4s-2]

77
W
Tongue to Abell, out Caught by Buttler!! Welsh Fire have now lost half their side. Hard length, Abell makes room and crouches to try and elevate it over the keeper/vacant 1st slip. All he manages is a faint edge that goes straight into the keeper's mitts. Abell c Buttler b Tongue 22(17) [4s-2]
66
W
Tom Hartley to Kohler-Cadmore, out Caught by Noor Ahmad!! The 43-run stand has been broken! A drag down from Hartley, Kohler-Cadmore spots it and rocks back to pull it away. Doesn't quite get the timing right and picks out deep backward square leg where Noor completes the formalities. Kohler-Cadmore c Noor Ahmad b Tom Hartley 26(16) [4s-2 6s-2]
63
4
Noor Ahmad to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, googly outside off, Kohler-Cadmore cuts hard and the outside edge goes fine of the diving short third man fielder
61
4
Noor Ahmad to Abell, FOUR, 56mph, a touch too full from Noor, Abell walks across, gets low and sweeps hard behind square on the leg-side. Races away to the fence and the deep fielder can't get to the ball
59
6
Tom Hartley to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, second six for TKC! Kohler-Cadmore moves leg-side, Hartley follows him with an overpitched delivery and that's been lofted downtown. Superb hit for a 80m six
57
6
Tom Hartley to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, very good use of the feet. Steps out, slightly moves leg-side, gets under this in-drifter and tonks it over straight long-off
55
Tom Hartley to Abell, no run, confident appeal for lbw, turned down and Manchester Originals review. Full delivery drifting in and the batter misses the flick to get hit on the back leg adjacent to the stumps as the ball spins away. UltraEdge confirms no outside edge. Over to ball-tracking and it's bouncing over the middle-stump! Bounce saves Abell and the Originals lose the review
53
4
Tom Hartley to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, shot! Trifle short, Kohler-Cadmore rocks back, stands tall and thumps it over the bowler's head. Long-off sprints to his right but can't stop the boundary
43
4
Noor Ahmad to Abell, FOUR, Noor errs with his line. The line is too straight and Abell flicks it wide of the short fine leg fielder
39
W
Scott Currie to Wells, out Caught by Gregory!! Soft dismissal. Slower ball from Currie that holds on the surface, Wells checks his drive and ends up chipping it straight to cover. Wells c Gregory b Scott Currie 13(12) [4s-2]

Gregory to Wells, FOUR, 79mph, back of a length, Wells uppisholy pulls over backward square leg and splits the gap between deep square leg and fine leg
30
W
Tongue to Smith, out Caught by Buttler!! Tongue deceives Smith with a slower ball. 76mph, pace off and into the deck on probably seeing the batter step out of the crease. Smith, after coming down the track, moves leg-side to waft it away over the infield on the off-side. Early into the shot and gets a thin top-edge that's been pouched by the keeper. Smith c Buttler b Tongue 26(22) [4s-4 6s-1]
27
4
Tongue to Smith, FOUR, uppish and in the gap. Fuller than a length outside off, Smith hangs back and clears his front leg to drive it uppishly through wide mid-off
25
4
Sonny Baker to Smith, FOUR, finds the gap on this occasion! A boundary off the final ball of the powerplay. Width on offer, Smith opens the bat-face and neatly steers it between backward point and short third man
21
4
Sonny Baker to Smith, FOUR, 84mph, a shuffling Smith gets inside the line and tickles this short of length ball very fine to send it to fine leg for four
13
6
Tongue to Smith, SIX, the crowd find their voice! Loveoly hands from Smith. It's a full delivery outside off and Smith throws his arms to hit it with the swing. Carved over deep point for a 73m six

4
Sonny Baker to Smith, FOUR, 87mph, too much width and Smith pounces. The right-hander throws his bat and flays it backward of square on the off-side. The ball bullets away to the fence. First boundary for Welsh Fire but it's still a superb set of 10 balls from Baker

W
Sonny Baker to Bairstow, out Caught by Gregory!! Top-scorer in the last two games for his team, gone for a duck today. Superb stuff from Sonny Baker. One again, the length is on the fuller side. Bairstow is drawn into the push and the slight away seam movement results in a thick outside edge. Carries to first slip and Gregory pouches it. Baker is elated, jumps and punches the air in delight. Bairstow c Gregory b Sonny Baker 0(3)
