Just for a moment Jofra Archer thought he had Payne caught behind. I don't know how Laurie Evans has dropped that. So catchable.
Spilled by Laurie Evans!
It might have even taken glove. Archer is fuming.
Fast and fast. Dot ball.

David Payne played that shot really well. He made it look like he had loads of time.
That's a good shot from David Payne as he cuts Jofra Archer for a couple.
17 from 13...
Need 19 from 14 balls
James Vince gambles. He turns to Jofra Archer for his final five.
Need 20 from 15 balls
Make that three dots from Chris Jordan. It's a good comeback but imagine if there wasn't the five wides. brave would probably be favourites.
Chris Jordan responds with two dots as he tries to make up for that error.
20 from 16 to win.
Five wides down the leg side from Chris Jordan! That might be the game. A crucial error.
It's only 20 to win from 18 now.
Need 25 from 18 balls
I wonder whether Brave could have brought the field in. David Payne gets back off strike immediately.
Need 26 runs from 19 balls
Kohler-Cadmore guides a single. Brave won't mind that. It brings David Payne onto strike again.
Need 27 from 20 balls
Chris Jordan still has 10 balls left. He's going to bowl at least five of those now.
Need 28 from 21 balls
David Payne is in now. He's not known for his batting.
Green b Coles 6 (Fire 101-7)
Like the Empire itself, James Coles strikes back!
Green goes back, Coles pushes it quicker. It flicks pad and deflects onto stumps.
Too short! Chris Green has only just come in but can crash that for four.
Need 34 runs from 25 balls
If Tom Kohler-Cadmore stays until the end then Fire will probably win.
Interestingly, spinner James Coles is going to bowl the next five - his first time in the attack all day.

Yet again that pace taken off into the surface, just popped up on Paul Walter. How many dismissals have we seen today where the ball has just been popped up towards mid-on and mid-off?
If Brave win this they'll likely edge back into the top three on run-rate.
Chris Green is the new batter.
36 from 27 needed.
Walter c Vince b Archer 2 (Fire 92-6)
Jofra Archer does get his third wicket!
A slower ball into the pitch. Chipped off the leading edge.
Brave might be favourites now.
Archer has another five balls after this set. How he'd love a wicket here.
