The Hundred men's competition, Headingley
Sunrisers Leeds 201-4 (100 balls) : Marsh 50 (34); Woakes 2-41
Welsh Fire 130-6 (100 balls) : Short 43 (29); Carse 3-24
Sunrisers Leeds moved closer to securing qualification for The Hundred's knockout stages with a comprehensive 71-run win over Welsh Fire.
Mitch Marsh, the tournament's leading run-scorer, struck his fourth half-century of the season for second-placed Sunrisers as they made 201-4 at Headingley.
The Australian opener hit a 34-ball 50 and added 89 for the first wicket with Ryan Rickelton.
Chris Woakes, who took 2-41, claimed the breakthrough when he had Rickelton caught for 40, while Harry Brook (23 from 11 balls) and Marsh fell within the space of five deliveries, caught off Jordan Clark and Lockie Ferguson respectively.
Captain Zak Crawley struck four sixes in a 12-ball 34 as Sunrisers pressed on, while Dan Lawrence (29) and Matthew Revis (15) ended the innings with an unbroken partnership of 27.
Fifth-placed Fire were unable to keep up with the required run-rate in their reply as only Matt Short (43) and Joe Root (31), who put on 49 for the second wicket, made more than 13.
Short was one of three victims for Brydon Carse, who also removed opener Phil Salt (13) and Marco Jansen (1).
Root was caught behind off Nathan Ellis, who also bowled Rachin Ravindra for two, while Jordan Cox also fell cheaply, caught for 12 off Matthew Potts.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Woakes both finished unbeaten on 13 as Fire closed on 130-6, well short of their target having chosen to chase at the toss.
Sunrisers now only need to avoid defeat against Manchester Super Giants on Tuesday to progress, while victory would put them in contention for top spot should leaders Trent Rockets lose against Southern Brave on Monday.
Fire, who would have moved second with a win on Sunday, are the lowest placed of three teams on 16 points and will likely need success against London Spirit on Wednesday and then rely on net run-rate to secure the final knockout spot.
Who am I? Guess The Hundred cricket star No 20
Birmingham Phoenix 162-4 (100 balls) : Clarke 73 (42), Dickson 51 (28); Crocombe 1-8
London Spirit 166-3 (82 balls) : Livingstone 66 (30), Brevis 55 (31); Thompson 1-24
Dewald Brevis and Liam Livingstone shared a 103-run partnership as London Spirit beat Birmingham Phoenix by seven wickets at Lord's.
In a match between two eliminated sides, Livingstone hit 66 from 30 balls, while Brevis struck an unbeaten 55 from 31 as Spirit passed their target of 163 with 18 balls to spare.
Coming together at 43-2 after the hosts had lost Jonny Bairstow and Lhuan-dre Pretorius for 10 and 16 respectively, the pair struck a collective total of 12 fours and seven sixes, hitting the ball deep into the stands on multiple occasions.
Home captain Livingstone skied a catch to Sean Dickson off Tom Helm, but Brevis saw Spirit home alongside James Coles (9), striking back-to-back fours to first reach his half-century and then end the match.
Phoenix reached what appeared to be a competitive score after being put into bat, with opener Joe Clarke scoring 73 from 42 deliveries and Dickson hitting an unbeaten 51 from 28.
The pair put on a third-wicket stand of 92 after Mitch Owen, Joe Weatherley and Laurie Evans had all fallen for single figures, while Clarke ultimately departed from the 91st ball of the innings, caught by Livingstone off Henry Crocombe.
Phoenix's sixth defeat in seven matches mean they stay bottom of The Hundred standings, while Spirit moved level with sixth-placed Southern Brave on eight points, but remain beneath them by virtue of an inferior net run-rate.
Nottingham is the venue for Monday's action in The Hundred with Trent Rockets hosting Southern Brave .
The match for the women's side at 15:00 BST is a top-of-the-table clash, with leaders Rockets aiming to clinch their place in the Lord's final.
Victory over Brave in their final match would secure their spot, although given they have a superior net run-rate they could go directly to Lord's even if they lose.
Second-placed Brave are in a strong position to secure a place in the Eliminator - and would be certain if they win.
The Rockets' men's side will also secure their spot in the final on 16 August with victory over Brave in their match which gets under way at 18:00.
Brave are playing for pride, having already been eliminated and victory would guarantee they avoid the wooden spoon.
