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.
