7.50pm Well, Fire have a battle on their hands if they want to avoid that wooden spoon. A target of 168 is attainable but it will need an innings like Jason Roy's to get them there, you suspect. A throwback knock of 70 off 39 for him, with Riley Meredith's 20 balls disappearing for an ugly 50. Josh Hull and David Payne's left-arm line had their moments, but a good late stand between Thompson and Overton has made it advantage Brave, you sense.
Roy: "Nice to contribute finally. Nice to put on a show for the home crowd. We'll try our hardest, pitch is a bit slow, bit of turn, Bracewell will hopefully have a night out. It's a shame we haven't put our best foot forward,but thanks to everyone who's supported us."
