Wicket. OUT! Bowled. Chris Green to Trent Boult. Quicker length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. Birmingham Phoenix post a respectable total of 138, after a number of their top order made starts, but couldn't kick on. Will Smeed and Joe Clarke shared a useful partnership in the powerplay, whilst Liam Livingstone hit a couple of huge blows, but the Welsh Fire kept taking regular wickets to keep control. Chris Green led the way with three, whilst Riley Meredith and Ben Kellaway took two apiece. Jacob Bethell top scored with 38 to get the Phoenix to their final score, but their bowlers will need to be on top form to defend the total. Join us for the run chase shortly.
