#WellingtonFirebirds' Georgeson is denied his half century by a lovely take by Max Chu off who else but Dean Foxcroft's bowling. Some problematic wicket losses for the Firebirds here. #OtagoVolts looking methodical and persistent.

Absolute scenes! Michael Rae clouting two 6s in a row is not what I had on my bingo card for this #FordTrophy game. Go #OtagoVolts!

Jake Gibson throwing his wicket away unnecessarily there, IMO. #FordTrophy #OtagoVolts

Two wickets in quick succession and suddenly the #OtagoVolts chase is looking much harder. #FordTrophy
Volts 143/4 after 22.

Chu finally goes for 30, chipping up a slower ball to van Beek at mid-on. #OtagoVolts at 90/1 after 11. Dean Foxcroft the new man. #FordTrophy

50 runs up for the #OtagoVolts . Openers Rutherford and Chu doing their job and setting up a platform. Good progress so far. #FordTrophy

Logan van Beek with a huge tonk over the long on boundary for 6 brings up 350 for the #Firebirds. #OtagoVolts with a lot of work to do here. #FordTrophy

Dean Foxcroft ends his spell with 42/2. Fairly good day at the office. #Firebirds coasting at 315/6 #FordTrophy

LOL Ravindra tries to sweep Foxcroft down to fine leg and ends up spinning around so much he loses his footing AND his bat! #FordTrophy

Nicely done! Jake Gibson with the breakthrough and the #Firebirds are 113/2. #FordTrophy

Well it's #FordTrophy day here in Dunedin and the #Wellington #Firebirds are playing the #OtagoVolts. The runs sure are flowing! Wellington are running at 10 an over with the loss of only one wicket and the two batters at the crease are looking very established.

#OtagoVolts seem determined to make this way harder than it needs to be. Required RR is 2.7 and we're scoring at ~4.5 so why are we still throwing away wickets??
#FordTrophy

#OtagoVolts really doing some damage to Canterbury here. Red team are 82/5 after 20 overs and really need a partnership. Latham is looking like their last best hope on that front. #FordTrophy

Watching the #OtagoVolts playing #Canterbury and Jacob Duffy is on an absolute tear. Two wickets in as many balls including disposing of Daryl Mitchell has Canterbury at 27/2.
#FordTrophy

Well, fun way to see the afternoon out but a pretty disappointing result to crack the season off. #FordTrophy

Jesus. That is not a good total. #OtagoVolts sitting on 157 - bowled out in 41 overs. ND should make short work of this. #FordTrophy

Good god and now Dale Phillips goes for 0 of 15 deliveries. To say we're a bit rusty is probably understating it a bit. #OtagoVolts #FordTrophy

Llew Johnson skittled for 1 and I'm trying to remember the last time I was really impressed with his position in the top order? #OtagoVolts #FordTrophy

I do not feel super-optimistic about a #OtagoVolts / #CentralStags match in Dunedin today... #FordTrophy
