    James Coles joins the list of right-handers to fall to Liam Dawson in the Hundred - 24 of his 30 wickets in The Hundred are right-handed batters.

  3. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    We've seen some incredible run chases in The Hundred this year. This one would be right up there.

  4. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Two

    You can just tell it is a good pitch with even bounce but after one use, it settles down and the Spirit will be happy that they got first use of it and did it well.

  5. Brave 56-3

    131 runs needed

    Laurie Evans out in the middle, joining his Surrey team-mate Jason Roy.

    He gets off the mark with a single to mid-wicket off his second ball.

  6. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    Round the legs, he goes for the conventional sweep and the experience of Dawson does for James Coles.

  7. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Two

    The experience of Dawson outdoes Coles even if his thought process was correct.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    It's really well bowled by Liam Dawson. He's such a canny bowler. He targets the stumps so often and he gets the breakthrough.

  12. Phil Tufnell

    Jason Roy has been a bit unfortunate in the last couple of games but he is going along very nicely. You don't want him in the mood.

    WICKET

    Du Plooy c Overton b Wood 7 (Brave 16-2)

    Skier... caught!

    Leus du Plooy sends Luke Wood's delivery spiralling into the London sky.

    It's hard to initially gauge where it's going to come down, but it becomes evident it's going to drop right on top of Jamie Overton, who sets himself and takes the catch at mid-wicket.

  20. Brave 12-1

    175 runs needed

    A good comeback from Richard Gleeson, two dot balls with Du Plooy failing to get a bat on the second one.
