9:05pm That's all folks. Thanks for your company. Join us tomorrow for plenty more action in the women's and men's Hundred, with Manchester Super Giants vs Birmingham Phoenix into Trent Rockets vs London Spirit.
9:03pm Your Meerkat Match Hero is Rachin Ravindra for 98 and 1 for 25: "We know how good this MI London is and the history and pedigree of the team. And for us to put a performance like that on our home ground was a great feeling."
[ON HIS C&B TO REMOVE VINCE]: "It's nice to catch one in England to be honest! (Ravindra dropped three during the Test series at the start of the summer). The white ball is easier to see than the red ball."
[ON LOCKIE FERGUSON'S 4 FOR 27] "He's incredible. The bowling side we have here to defend that total was brilliant. Was it four wickets he got? That's incredible on that surface."
8:58pm NJ: "I told you guys before it has been a day for the Kiwis, they are the diff today"

Ferguson to Rutherford, 1 run, On leg stump, whipped away and Welsh Fire win by 15! It has been the complete performance from the Cardiff side, with plenty of Kiwi flavour. Rachin Ravindra with 98 - and dismissal of James Vince for 66 - stole the show, but Lockie Ferguson's 4 for 27 finished the job. Outstanding effort

Ferguson to Rutherford, no run, Beaten again! Another slowe, this one 79mph, skipping over the swishing blade and bouncing into Salt's gloves...

Ferguson to Rutherford, no run, No dice! Into the surface, Rutherford late on the pull with 77mph variation confusing the West Indian. Clothed to backward square leg with the run refused

Ferguson to Rashid Khan, 1 bye, PAce on - 92mph! - fires through to Salt... but they run the bye anyway. Salt's underarm is wide of the striker's stumps
Rashid Khan is the new batter
4 for 26 are Ferguson's best figures in The Hundred

Ferguson to TK Curran, OUT, He can't! Slower ball does the trick, rolls his fingers over a full one that totally does for Curran, swiping across the line and having his middle stump rocked back
TK Curran b Ferguson 10 (18m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 90.9
Curran on strike now with 18 needed from 5 and Ferguson to contend with - can he find the single?

Jansen to Rutherford, 1 run, Another attempted yorker, low full toss on off stump, nailed straight to cover but they run through for a single. Right out of the middle and, actually, well-stopped by the man in the ring
