Fixed Header Flex Table - Header Vertical Align

Question

jsFiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/24by5tmv/1/

I've got a simple flex table that fixes the header and scrolls the table body but i'm wanting to vertically align center/middle the contents (header and body) within each cell.

Setting a cell to vertical-align: middle; usually does the trick but it seems using flexbox is preventing vertically aligning cell contents.

I don't doubt i've overlooked something, and probably something simple, but does anyone have any ideas for fixing this?

Much appreciated :)

You can make the th,td element flex also and apply alignment inside them:

table.flex-table tr td,
table.flex-table tr th {
  display: flex;
  flex: 1;
  align-items:center;
  justify-content:center;
}

Full code

.panel-body {
  height: 300px;
}

table {
  border-top: 1px solid black;    /* Just to Highlight Top of Table */
}
table thead tr {
  height: 5em;    /* Fixed Row Height */
}

/* Flex Table */
table.flex-table {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100%;
}
table.flex-table thead,
table.flex-table tbody {
  display: block;
}
table.flex-table thead {
  margin-right: 0px;
}
table.flex-table tbody {
  flex: 1;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}
table.flex-table tr {
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
}
table.flex-table tr td,
table.flex-table tr th {
  display: flex;
  flex: 1;
  align-items:center;
  justify-content:center;
}
