- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.3 on off stump, Winfield-Hill steps across trying to work it behind square leg and misses altogether as her stumps are decimated! 80/103.1 change of ends works for Shabnim Ismail! Banged in, Bates bends back looking to paddle away over fine leg and sees her stumps splattered! 12/15.2 fuller ball on middle, she chips it and Alex Griffiths at short third takes a good catch moving sharply to her left! Success early for Elwiss and Capsey is gone 23/27.2 deceived her on length! Slower, fuller ball, swung back in and van Niekerk was flummoxed, the ball sneaks through the gate and into the stumps! 28/38.3 perfect length, it nips back and gets the big fish! Kapp beaten by one that came back in off the seam and crashed into the top of middle stump. Invincibles four down with just 31 runs on the board 31/410.3 fuller ball on off stump, she goes high and hard over square leg but Sophia Dunkley, runs round to take a good catch! another down for Invincibles! 39/511.1 fuller length and right on target! Absolute beauty! Pinpoint delivery takes the top of middle stump! Great pressure from Fire's spearhead 39/611.2 full again, strikes her low, looked to be coming back onto middle stump and it's out! Cross-seam delivery and on target again. This is quite something from Welsh Fire! 39/712.1 full, on middle stump and how! Gray drops to one knee, attempting to work it behind square leg and is struck on the knee roll in line with middle stump! She reviewed, having moved well over to the off side but that was OUT 40/814.5 length ball on middle, she works it towards midwicket oh a mix-up! Smale hesitated, Winfield-Hill ran and Smale was caught well short as Griffiths threw down the stumps at the non-striker's end 55/9Extras5 (b 3, w 2)TOTAL80 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 4.08 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Suzie Bates, 3.1 ov), 2-23 (Alice Capsey, 5.2 ov), 3-28 (Dane van Niekerk, 7.2 ov), 4-31 (Marizanne Kapp, 8.3 ov), 5-39 (Paige Scholfield, 10.3 ov), 6-39 (Mady Villiers, 11.1 ov), 7-39 (Ryana MacDonald-Gay, 11.2 ov), 8-40 (Eva Gray, 12.1 ov), 9-55 (Sophia Smale, 14.5 ov), 10-80 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 and Kapp strikes first ball! Beaumont steps down and looks to drive expansively, but steers a thick edge to slip! The Fire skipper throws her head back as van Niekerk clings on to the chance. Big outswinger from Kapp and Beaumont nicks it. Perfect start from Invincibles 0/11.2 full and slashed into the covers! Both openers gone for ducks, Kapp knocks off another. Matthews was looking to step down and drive, hit the ball in the air and it was snaffled going to her right by Capsey. Not a bad connection but too close to the fielder. Invincibles scrapping hard from the outset 5/28.5 Dunkley holes out! Full and straight, lofted to Bates at long-on. Maybe have been a cutter from Scholfield, no timing on the shot from Dunkley, and safely pouched. First wicket in the Hundred for Scholfield 45/312.3 length and nibbling back in, hit on the pads... Middlebrook shakes his head but van Niekerk reviews. She was quite a long way down, though hit on the back leg. And Hawk-Eye has it smashing into leg stump! The cheer goes up from Invincibles as the replay is shown on the big screen, Kapp has a third 69/59.1 makes room to thump off side... picks out the fielder! Golden duck for Harris and Invincibles have gone bang-bang at a crucial juncture. Harris is a big-hitter, so that is a blow for Fire. Carved uppishly and van Niekerk holds it going to her right. Scholfield is on a hat trick! 45/412.4 bowled 'er, another first-baller! Fired full and straight, Windsor moved outside leg to hit straight but ended up deflecting the ball into the poles off her pads! Kapp roars in defiance off the odds, and Fire know they're in a contest here 69/614.1 dragged down, slapped to cover! Flying take from Scholfield! Davies freed the arms and attempted to carve the ball through the infield, but doesn't get a good connection and Scholfield dives low to her right to scoop up the chance. Fire aren't going to flame out here, are they? 76/7Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL81/7 (16 Overs, RR: 5.06 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Tammy Beaumont, 0.1 ov), 2-5 (Hayley Matthews, 1.2 ov), 3-45 (Sophia Dunkley, 8.5 ov), 4-45 (Laura Harris, 9.1 ov), 5-69 (Georgia Elwiss, 12.3 ov), 6-69 (Emily Windsor, 12.4 ov), 7-76 (Freya Davies, 14.1 ov)
