We're done with the first match of today's double-header and the second game is up shortly. Change tabs and join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..
Liam Dawson, Match Hero: Tonight was a very big game for us after losing the first two (matches), so it gives huge amount of confidence to get over the line. Started off nicely, was a nice pitch to bowl on. Just had to bowl in the right areas and the wicket did the rest. Got tight in the end, but the boys will be confident going forward. It was a bit quicker, you just tried to hit the stumps, you need to simplify when you play on such pitches. Just tried to do that today. It was one of those scores where you get off to a flier, you could win it easily, but it was one of those wickets where you had to grind as a batter, wasn't at all an easy wicket to bat on.
17:45 Local Time, 16:45 GMT, 22:15 IST: An error-strewn game where both batting units failed to click, but London Spirit was the better bowling team and they scraped home by 3 wickets. 95 should've been a simple chase, but the Welsh Fire came themselves in the contest with timely wickets, three fell inside the powerplay and they were reduced to 38 for 4 when Ravi Bopara fell. But Dan Lawrence and Shimron Hetmyer controlled the chase in a 5th wicket partnership of 46, before a cluster of late wickets brought Welsh Fire back into the contest. Hetmyer kept his cool though and promptly hit the winning shot. Two big points for London Spirit and they've opened their account. Welsh Fire also stay with similar numbers - one win from three games. 
14.3
Haris Rauf to Hetmyer, SIX, Hetmyer has won it for the Spirit, their 1st win of #Hundred24 - banged in short and following Hetmyer as he backed away, but he still gets enough power behind the pull and sends it soaring over Phillips at mid-wicket for a maximum

13.5
Mason Crane to Dawson, out Caught by Matt Henry!! A top-edge and London Spirit have lost their 7th wicket - This is such poor cricket from them, was the leg-break, tossed up invitingly and dragged Dawson into the sweep, he's undone by the turn and gets a big top-edge, high and down short fine's throat where Henry completes the catch. Dawson c Matt Henry b Mason Crane 4(5) [4s-1]
Mason Crane to Dawson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
