- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.4 Garton has three! Another off-pace delivery on a length just outside off. Eskinazi has a wild slog across the line and spoons it up off the leading edge. The ball lobs towards extra cover. du Plooy judges it nicely, dives forward and snaffles up the chance! 77/61.2 Bairstow bites the dust! Full delivery angled into off stump. Bairstow tries to go over mid off but is not quite to the pitch of the ball. Clinks it terribly and du Plooy gobbles up a regulation chance at mid off! 5/12.2 edged and taken! Garton gets Clarke! Full and angled across the batter outside off. Clarke, looking at the width, throws his hands at it but does so without any foot movement. Gets a healthy outside edge that Conway snares diving to his right! 6/24.1 Overton has another! Back of a length delivery in the fifth stump channel that moves away very late. Abell, thinking he can push it into the off side, goes following it and only manages to feather it through to the keeper! 16/38.1 and he gets Phillips straightaway! Back of a length delivery that pitches just outside off stump before nipping back. Phillips tries to force it through the off side but the inward movement means that the ball kisses the inside edge and flies through to Conway, who makes no mistake! 34/412.1 Willey perishes! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump. Willey hangs back and tries to shovel it away. He might have been looking to chip it into the gap but instead, hits it in the general direction of deep mid wicket. Overton makes up ground to his left, slides forward and completes the catch! 58/519.3 soft dismissal! Another change-up delivery on a length outside off. Green, looking at the width, throws the kitchen sink at it but the lack of pace means that he slices it straight to Rehan at backward point! 87/818.1 holes out to deep point! Back of a length delivery outside off. van der Merwe gives himself room and plays that trademark look-away slash over the off side. Gets a decent chunk of it but not enough power to clear the sweeper on the fence. The Welsh Fire slide further! 84/719.4 and Rauf departs, just as quickly as he walked in! Another beautifully-disguised slower one outside off. This lands on a fullish length and Rauf tries to get it over extra cover. All he does is offer more catching practice to du Plooy 87/919.5 hat-trick for Mills! And the Brave have bowled out the Welsh Fire! Slower one that lands on a full length outside off. Payne, walking out at 11, tries to reverse lap it over short third man. No prizes for guessing that he lobs it straight down the fielder's throat. Mills becomes only the second cricketer to take a hat-trick in the Men's Hundred! 87/10Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL87 all out (20 Overs, RR: 4.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Jonny Bairstow, 1.2 ov), 2-6 (Joe Clarke, 2.2 ov), 3-16 (Tom Abell, 4.1 ov), 4-34 (Glenn Phillips, 8.1 ov), 5-58 (David Willey, 12.1 ov), 6-77 (Stephen Eskinazi, 16.4 ov), 7-84 (Roelof van der Merwe, 18.1 ov), 8-87 (Ben Green, 19.3 ov), 9-87 (Haris Rauf, 19.4 ov), 10-87 (David Payne, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 straight to long on! Back of a length delivery at the stumps. This seems to stick in the surface a shade and messes with Allen's timing. Arrows it to Willey, and he makes no mistake. Finally some respite for the Welsh Fire but the horse might have already bolted! 53/1Extras8 (lb 3, w 5)TOTAL91/1 (11.4 Overs, RR: 7.71 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Finn Allen, 5.5 ov)
