    5.1 and the boundary rider is in play straightaway! Cardiff's leg-side boundaries are renowned for their depth, and hitting the pitch is the way to bring them into play! Jacks has a hack across the short ball, and picked out deep midwicket! 36/2
    2.4 flipped off the pads, straight to short midwicket! Malan has designs on a more square-on flick, but the ball was pushed just half a yard too full for the stroke. He was through it early and Phillips made no mistake 16/1

    8.3 full, and splats the leg stump! Not a brilliant shot by Muyeye, made room to leg to slice the ball through point with an open face, but the ball just barrelled on through its leg-stump line and Invincibles continue to get stuck 46/4
    6.4 pace off, superb bowling! Looped right into Billings' arc, he was looking to take it down after a tight over, but the ball never arrived and the length was perfection. Clipped high on the blade straight to Phillips at short midwicket. Invincibles are failing to ignite here 42/3
    15.2 holes out to long-on! Curran gave it the gallop and got a good piece of it as he took on the extra flight, but he got more underneath it than through it. Kohler-Cadmore did the needful 92/5
    18.3 holes out to wide long-on! Into the wicket once more, Ferreira leans back and cloths his uppercut, there's nearly a collision between Abell and Kohler-Cadmore, but strong calling from the skipper! 108/8
    17.1 heaved off the pads, straight to Little at fine leg! 130 is a very long way off now! Little kept his footing very well, bracing himself after a handful of steps, six inches inside the rope 101/6
    17.3 levered on the up, out to deep cover! Sowter succumbs and now Invincibles are deep in the doo-doo. A cross-seamer, sticks in the pitch, never arrived for the intended uppercut, Welsh Fire are tightening their grip 101/7

    18.5 heave ho! It's a procession! Another massive wipe across the line, into the pocket at deep midwicket. Two men have time to converge once more, Phillips called loudest, and made an easy catch look... even easier 108/9

    12.5 Grip from a full length, and the stumps are smashed! Just straightened enough, so tight and straight, the purchase is sufficient to confound the set batter 51/5
    4.2 pre-emptive shuffle to the off-side, under-edged into his stumps! Johnson is pumped by that, hit the pitch with spice, cramped Bairstow on that off-stump line, trimmed the bails! 19/1
    5.1 flattens middle stump! Now then, we have a contest! Swings in, nips away, perfect length, Clarke has no answer! 19/2
    9.5 skids through flatter, and nails the pad! That's how he rolls. Was leg-sided, but would have clipped leg. Key breakthrough 46/3
    10.5 dragged down, but it does the trick! A sucker punch for Phillips! It was a rank half-tracker, down the leg-side, but those pockets at midwicket are so deep 47/4
    15.4 dragged out of the crease once more! Pushed through on the wide line, Wells was committed to the gallop out of the crease, Billings gathers and smashes an another stumping! 62/7
    14.5 so far out of his crease, off come the bails! It's the googly, pushed across a dance down the track. Billings had so long to complete the stumping he even paused to tease his quarry! 59/6
    19.4 low full toss, huge swing, but doesn't get hold of it. Malan at cover pockets a scuffed offering, off the top edge 102/8
