    3.3 Salt goes! The match-winner in the opening round falls for just 6 off 11 - cramped for room, Salt attempts to shovel that over to the leg side but spoons it up to Rutherford at midwicket 11/1

    4.2 Bowled him! Gleeson goes immediately for a yorker, Short, before the ball had left the hand, was in position to ramp but all that gives him is a better view of his stumps lighting up! 20/2

    16.2 Gone! Easy as, Root skips down early, Rashid Khan goes very wide and Pooran collects, and waits an age as Root continues on his journey down the track and to the dugout. Pooran eventual knocks the bails off 136/3

    19.3 Full outside off, skewed in the air... and taken by Jason Roy at backward point! Ravindra misses out on his century but it's a hell of a knock all the same. Goes for 98 off 44 having come in with Fire 20 for 2 after 22 deliveries... 163/4

    19.5 Boult has the final say! Brilliant yorker, dug out by Jansen. Boult falls on it in his follow-through, steadies himself on the floor and hits the stumps at the nonstriker's end as Jansen attempts to nab one final run. Welsh Fire close on 167 for 5 167/5

    1.5 Big wicket! Jacks goes across the line again, but its more agricultural and less controlled, straight into the hands of Kellaway at a four-fifths deep square 18/1

    14.2 Got him! What an outstanding caught and bowled from Ravindra! Length ball, sits up, Vince hammers the ball cross batted back to the bowler who springs to his right, two-handed, and takes a stunner. Reverse hands across, "like a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout" says Sky Commentator Lydia Greenway 122/5

    9.3 Straight up in the air... and taken by Cox at mid off! Two in a row for Ferguson, who went sharp into the top of off and Curran just, well, lifted it in the air batting a little too recklessly... 72/3

    13.1 On the hip, flipped out to deep square... and has that been taken?! Asa Tribe, right up against the sponge, takes the catch and throws it back to himself... and as he has thrown it up, he's hit the sponge but come off it and taken it with both hands well inside the field. Excellent presence of mind and a huge dismissal to pocket at this juncture 104/4

    19.1 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 150/6
