- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.5 outstanding bowling! Full, straight, a late dipping yorker, clean through Buttler's loose swish, and that's a huge breakthrough to go into the halfway-mark 86/36.5 skids the flatter, quicker one through, and Salt loses his bails! He rocked back, anticipating a cuttable legbreak, but it just kept barrelling on to end a fine knock 66/18.3 width on the full length, and chopped straight to gully! Opens the face, dabbed as if giving catching practice, to end a sparky cameo 81/213.1 back of a length, and slapped to deep cover! Russell's muscles can't clear the longest boundary of the night, Sam Hain sets himself to swallow the chance five metres in from the rope. Big breakthrough 108/510.2 superb googly! Full length is the key once more, as Evans drives loosely, and loses his off stump through the gate! A first-baller, and now we have a contest... 87/417.2 hits the pitch hard, a bluff after setting a field for the full, wide ball. Instead, Stubbs swings across the line for a steepling top-edge, and a good catch almost at his original point of delivery from Pretorius 135/716.1 big wind-up and snicked to the diving Clarke! A fine slower ball, and the ball looped off a thick outside edge, almost reaching the keeper with backspin. After a tough night, he does well to cling onto that 130/619.1 targetting the top of off stump! Cunning from Ball, a 70mph offcutter, through a loose swipe 147/819.5 slower ball, slogged high to deep midwicket, and Duckett steadies himself on the rope to swallow the chance! 149/9Extras12 (b 8, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL149/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.45 per 6 ball)Did not bat: MT StanleyFall of wickets: 1-66 (Phil Salt, 6.5 ov), 2-81 (Wayne Madsen, 8.3 ov), 3-86 (Jos Buttler, 9.5 ov), 4-87 (Laurie Evans, 10.2 ov), 5-108 (Andre Russell, 13.1 ov), 6-130 (Paul Walter, 16.1 ov), 7-135 (Tristan Stubbs, 17.2 ov), 8-147 (Sean Abbott, 19.1 ov), 9-149 (Matt Parkinson, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 half-volley, sliding into the pads. Swung high into the leg side.... Abbott settles underneath it at deep midwicket! Just flicked, and mistimed into the deep. It swirled around in the breeze, but Abbott took a safe catch to give Stanley a wicket on debut 13/13.4 on a length, leading edge back to the bowler! Pressure bursts pipe, Fire lose their second. Looking to go over mid-on but there wasn't room to play the shot, and he pops it back to Abbott for a simple c&b 14/27.4 gives himself room, lofts into-out over extra cover but Russell is running around to his left... and takes this one at wide long-off! No real celebration as he is still frustrated at dropping the last chance 43/38.5 on a length, swung out into the deep... straight to Abbott at midwicket! Extra bounce for Stubbs, and Duckett mistimes his pull. Fire are having another shocker with the bat 47/410.4 picks out extra cover! Every attacking shot Fire have played seems to have gone to hand. Gives himself a little room outside leg stump, Russell hits a length, and Miller slaps straight to Madsen 54/69.1 pulled straight to short midwicket! Width outside off stump, Cobb's eyes light up. He looks to swing over the leg side, but it's straight at Buttler who takes a sharp catch just above his head 48/514.1 drags on! Abbott looks for the yorker but it's a low full toss outside off. Critchley shapes to flash through the off side, and inside edges onto the base of his stumps 80/717.4 swung out to deep midwicket, Stubbs takes an excellent catch! He had to keep swinging, and looked for the gap between midwicket and long-on, but Stubbs ran round to his left and sealed the deal with a good, diving effort 102/1014.3 slower ball, back of a length. Skied up towards short third... Walter takes a blinder over his shoulder running back! Top-edge, looking to slash over the off side, and Tall Paul does very well 82/816.1 slower ball, jammed in short. Payne shuffles across to scoop but can't get bat on it. Oh my goodness, has he BBQed himself here? He has!! A lazy wander out of his crease, Salt threw at the stumps underarm, and Payne was caught just short! Sums up Fire's night - and their season 97/9Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL102 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 5.73 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Joe Clarke, 2.3 ov), 2-14 (Tom Banton, 3.4 ov), 3-43 (Sam Hain, 7.4 ov), 4-47 (Ben Duckett, 8.5 ov), 5-48 (Josh Cobb, 9.1 ov), 6-54 (David Miller, 10.4 ov), 7-80 (Matt Critchley, 14.1 ov), 8-82 (Adam Zampa, 14.3 ov), 9-97 (David Payne, 16.1 ov), 10-102 (Dwaine Pretorius, 17.4 ov)
