Welsh Fire condemned to wooden spoon once again despite best efforts of Kohler-Cadmore
Commentator: Andrew Miller
9.26pm So, that wraps up the group stages. We have a day off tomorrow, then it's all about the Eliminators at the Kia Oval on Saturday. Northern Superchargers versus Trent Rockets in the men's competition; London Spirit versus Northern Superchargers in the women's. Oval Invincibles and Southern Brave respectively await in the final at Lord's on Sunday. We'll see you soon for all that!
9.21pm Well, that was fun! When Craig Overton was creating catches in the covers for fun, this looked deeply one-sided. But Tom Kohler-Cadmore outmatched Jason Roy's super knock with a hard-hitting 84 from 46, in partnership with Ben Kellaway. But in the end, Jordan Thompson and Tymal Mills closed it out in style, with Thompson's yorkers simply superb.
Fire duly finish at the foot of the table once again, in men's and women's competitions. Brave end a misfiring campaign with a morale-boosting win, and a fourth-place finish.
Craig Overton is the Meerkat Match Hero: "Great to get over the line. We've been bit-part in this comp, not quite whole performances. It was doing the basics as simple as possible, up top it swung a bit, then slower balls to the longer side. Nail your skill. The fans are awesome here, turn out in numbers, nice to repay the faith."
Green, relatively the set batter, is on strike... he is known for boshing a long ball ...
RIght, a brains-trust meeting for Brave... plenty at stake here despite the qualification race being done
A tremendous knock, but Fire need an instant impact from Saif Zaib now
T Kohler-Cadmore b Thompson 84 (60m 46b 3x4 7x6) SR: 182.6
So... it's going to be a diet of yorkers.... How does Green combat that? Short third and short backward square in place
