- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 popped to cover, and Voll's party is over! Much fuller outside off and Voll thinks this is there to be driven. A hint of extra bounce, though, and the ball spoons off the bat. A tame chip in the end and Pavely does the rest. Voll walks back after a brisk 17! 18/19.5 does her all ends up! Back-of-the-hand slower ball, on a length on middle and off. Takes an eternity to arrive and Bryce loses patience mid-way. Has an ungainly swipe across the line and swings too early, with the ball sneaking past her flailing blade and crashing into the stumps. LS chipping away nicely now! 74/35.5 the extra ball works a charm for Harris! Zipped in on a length on middle and leg. Kemp backs away, trying to cut, but the ball is too full for that stroke. Skids in with the angle too and Kemp's stumps get a shattering. Harris with a sheepish smile on her face, and that is a huge wicket! 55/219.3 gone this time, and Dean gets her opposite number! Back of a length on leg. Wareham looks to mow this over deep square but gets too much under it. Pavely circles under it at deep backward square leg and makes no mistake. Top knock nevertheless! 132/715.4 holes out to long on! Hung up on a length outside off. Prendergast looks at the flight and hares down. Nowhere to the pitch of the ball but still she has a pop at it. Shanks it off the inside half and Harris gobbles it up on the fence! 105/416.2 another miscue and Graham perishes this time! Given a bit of air on a fullish length outside off. Graham looks to go downtown but slices across it way too much. Only gets height on it and Dean, moving to her left at mid off, does the rest! 106/517.4 straight to deep mid wicket! Dragged down on middle, and Arlott's eyes light up. She thinks she can dump this over the fence but she is hitting to the longer side. George does not have to move a muscle on the fence, and Arlott has to go too! 114/6Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL138/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.9 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Georgia Voll, 1.5 ov), 2-55 (Freya Kemp, 5.5 ov), 3-74 (Sarah Bryce, 9.5 ov), 4-105 (Orla Prendergast, 15.4 ov), 5-106 (Heather Graham, 16.2 ov), 6-114 (Em Arlott, 17.4 ov), 7-132 (Georgia Wareham, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 sliced a mile up, and Potts breaks through! Back of a length outside off. Harris looks to stand tall and pop it over cover. Slices it terribly, though, and only gets height on it. Simplest of catches for cover point, and the Fire are on the board earlyt 2/13.2 well, this is not a great shot, and Jones bites the dust! Full outside off and this seems to swerve away late. Jones has designs of going downtown but the late movement does for her. Off the bottom part of the blade and Wareham snares a regulation chance at mid off! 18/31.2 nicked and gone! Two in two for Potts! Back of a length outside off, moving away late. Kelly, walking down the track, goes feeling for it and feathers it through to the keeper. Another soft dismissal, and Potts is now on a hat-trick! 2/26.3 goneski! Slanted across on a length outside off. Pavely looks to manufacture something and cuts across it completely. No power or elevation and extra cover completes the simplest of catches. Welsh Fire keep chipping away! 44/411.5 another ordinary shot, and Dean perishes too! Bashed into the track outside off. Dean shimmies down and looks to forehand it over mid off. Not sure the shot was on and she comes up second-best with her execution too. Simple chip for Wareham to snaffle up at extra cover, and the Spirit are now six down! 75/611.1 off the leading edge, and de Klerk has to go! Zinged in full on middle and leg. de Klerk looks to nudge it into the leg side but the ball sticks just enough to lob up off the leading edge. Smale settles under it in the point region, and de Klerk departs after getting a start! 72/513.2 more catching practice! Smale slows it up outside off and entices the big hit. George cannot resist the temptation and chances her luck. Gets a good piece of it but not a good enough piece to clear Voll at long on. She takes it in front of her face, and the Spirit slide further into trouble! 81/718.5 big lbw shout, not given! Speared in full on off. Dottin has a huge hoick at it and misses. She gets struck on the pad in front of off, but the umpire is unmoved. Smale is adamant that she has trapped Dottin and the Fire review. While all the appealing was happening, there was plenty of chaos, in terms of the running too. But all of that is immaterial because Ball Tracking returns three reds, with the ball smashing into the middle of middle stump! 119/917.3 scuffed to short third, and Wareham with a vital wicket! Lots of revs on this fullish ball on the stumps. Smale looks for the reverse but does not get the connection she wants. Short third moves to her right and does the rest. LS eight down! 107/819.4 chipped back to Graham, and that will be that! A meek end to a meek run-chase. On a length outside off. A bit of hold in the surface and Rainey pops it back to the bowler, who completes the catch nonchalantly! 123/10Extras10 (b 8, lb 1, w 1)TOTAL123 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.21 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Grace Harris, 1.1 ov), 2-2 (Marie Kelly, 1.2 ov), 3-18 (Amy Jones, 3.2 ov), 4-44 (Charis Pavely, 6.3 ov), 5-72 (Nadine de Klerk, 11.1 ov), 6-75 (Charlie Dean, 11.5 ov), 7-81 (Katie George, 13.2 ov), 8-107 (Seren Smale, 17.3 ov), 9-119 (Deandra Dottin, 18.5 ov), 10-123 (Hannah Rainey, 19.4 ov)
