    1.3 scuffs the pull, straight back to the bowler! That was telegraphed by Meredith's first ball. Albert was hurried by the short ball, and cramped as the bowler followed him down the leg-side. A big wind-up across the line was wellied high on the splice, straight back to Meredith who gathered in his followthrough 9/1
    2.1 booming drive, splats his own stumps! Vince's bleak tournament ends with a whimper. Vince steps into the full length, unfurling his wrists in familiar fashion. But back goes middle as Brave sink further 9/2

    15.5 pace off again, plops to mid-off! A tame end to a mighty innings. Roy looked to give it more humpty but Payne found his length well and turned off the afterburners. Smith wasn't going to drop that 128/6
    5.2 makes room to leg, has a hack through the length ball, loses his middle stump! Canny stump-to-stump line from Kellaway, and the third wicket goes down 34/3
    11.5 down on one knee, brilliantly caught at long-off! Du Plooy got right underneath his attempted launch, and the ball spooned high and slowly through the line, dying on Kohler-Cadmore as he skidded into the frame with his fingers under the ball. Superb 89/4
    14.5 battered through the line, but straight at TKC! Evans looked for the launch as well, but though he timed it well enough, it was straight at long-off. A simpler take than the du Plooy dismissal 127/5
    16.2 more loop, dipping on the full length, poked into the covers, direct hit! One stump to aim at for Abell, and gone by a metre! 129/7

    0.1 width, flashed straight to point! A limp, wristy waft through a loosener way outside off, and that sums up Fire's season in a shot! 0/1
    0.5 good grief, thumped off the back foot, to Roy at point! Smith climbs into the wide line, can't get over his stroke, and it's scooped up with a dive, low to his left! 5/2
    2.5 full length, tight line, Bairstow drives with flat feet, a regulation nick to the keeper. This innings is in freefall 13/3
    8.1 attempts the ramp, feathered to the keeper! Golden arm does it again! Abell falls across to the off-side, looking to loft the ball over the head of the keeper. But he can't get a big enough piece of it, and Albert gathers a low unconventional snick off the glove 51/4
    19.3 pace off, dragged on! What a response from Thompson! He was making a mess of it in those first few balls, but out comes the back-of-the-hander, perfect length, outside off, demanding aggression from TKC, but his flatfooted swing demolishes his own stumps! 161/6
    15.5 on the back foot, punched to cover! Huge final ball! Vince dives forward in the covers to atone for his earlier drop. Kellaway couldn't get the elevation on his launch, a critical stand is broken! 132/5
