Fire will need someone to play the Jacks role if they are to hunt down 159. Matt will bring you the action from the chase shortly.

Taha: "93 Why is it 6nb and not 5nb?" -- Two runs for a no-ball in English domestic cricket.

Jacks, who smashed 81: "Tough pitch... When the pitch is skidding through like that, you've got to be patient. Batting with a left-hander definitely helps... It is a small boundary. It was a lot of running. It's a keep-it-simple kind of a wicket [for the bowlers]"

3.20pm Fire will feel doused here. They conceded 77 off the last 30 balls, as Jacks dominated whatever came his way. He cracked 81 off 45 balls, with the next best from Invincibles being Sam Curran's 26 from 23. It is a slow pitch - where the cutters and change of pace should be very effective - with Fire having a handy chase on the cards.

Higgins to TK Curran, FOUR, pulled to long leg to finish with a four! Short delivery on leg - and a slower one too - as he swivels to beat short fine leg to his left

Higgins to Jacks, OUT, taken on the edge of the deep midwicket boundary! Jacks can't clear the big boundary, but he has turned it around as well as you would like. It was a slower delivery on middle, as he made room to tonk that. It was timed well too, but just that the big boundary didn't take it all the way

Higgins to Jacks, FOUR, this is sliced expertly wide of extra cover, and also long-off! It was a near yorker on off, as he opened the bat face to drill that away from deep in the crease. The 150 is up

Higgins to Jacks, SIX, dumped over long-on! He picks the change of pace ball, which is on a length - and on the hitting area - on middle and leg, as he put the full golf swing to that

Stays around to Jacks
