Pitch is good. Dunkley reckons so, but says it's tough to git when the ball comes off a back of length. Says they are around par. Will that be enough? Find out soon, as the chase begins.

4:06pm: The last ten balls went for just eight runs and accounted for two wickets, but Fire will be the happier side, thanks to Dunkley's fifty and Bryce's 44*. Matthews was out injured and Beaumont got out early, there was drizzle early on but that didn't deter Dunkley from charging down the ground regularly, hitting pockets, running well. Harris' cameo gave the hosts a push as well. Adams was the pick of the bowlers, the strike bowler was beought in the powerplay, she struck there. She was given death-overs duties, she put up her hand there. Bell was expensive, her first set - with smoke and rain around - was tough. She finished well. Shrubsole getting Harris was key. Tryon was in the midst of the cat-and-mouse game in the middle overs and got Dunkley out, which was also significant.

Bell to Bryce, 2 runs, Fullish slow ball on middle and leg, swept into the ground. Deep square leg gets there but can't pick it up. Tryon got there and tried to take it with the left hand and, right after she missed it, the crowd were happy
