Kemp c & b Franklin 24 (Brave 157-6)
Skewed up in the air... and caught!
Freya Kemp goes for a big heave into the leg side and offers a big leading edge that flies into the Southampton sky.
Bowler Phoebe Franklin runs almost to the batting crease to claim the catch.

Smart batting again from Southern Brave, getting a couple of runs there.
The best part about Freya Kemp is her bat swing. Her big shots aren't square of the wicket, they aren't slogs, they are actually down the ground. That's the reason she can consistently hit her big shots.

Captain Georgia Adams is next out of the dug-out, she takes an immediate single out to long-off before Kemp runs a couple of twos.
That's Kapp done with figures of 1-25.

Marizanne Kapp is just keeping it simple, isn't she? She is keeping it straight and wicket to wicket. You miss, I hit - that's exactly what has happened there.
Chloe Devine tried that big heave over mid-wicket but just misses it completely.
Marizanne Kapp is a banker. Wherever she plays, you can depend on her.
Tryon b Kapp 3 (Brave 150-5)
Marizanne Kapp strikes!
The leading wicket taker for the Invincibles gets her first scalp of the innings, accounting for compatriot Chloe Tryon with a ball that beat an across-the-line mow and clattered the stumps.
150 up for Southern Brave in slightly comical fashion.
Marizanne Kapp's first delivery drifts down the leg side and the debutant Daisy Gibb tries to scoop the ball away from the rope, but gets too much on it and the ball loops back round and over the boundary for five wides.

Sophia Smale has kept things pretty tight, as you would expect from a left-arm spinner.
You always look at them as someone who gives control to the fielding captain and she has done that once again. Those aren't bad figures. A good effort from her again.
Freya Kemp follows her twin sixes with another four, hitting Sophia Smale's first ball straight down the ground.
It ricochets off the ankles of the sliding fielder and runs into the ropes.
Four more singles off the rest of the set and Smale is the first Invincibles bowler to complete her 20 deliveries - she's gone for 0-24.

A superb hit from Freya Kemp - as clean and as sweet as it gets!
It was straight out of the middle and a bit of a slog sweep over mid-wicket.
Freya Kemp makes amends!
On zero after two balls, she launches Alice Capsey out to long-off, where Phoebe Franklin, who is a few steps in from the boundary, can't hold on to a high catch, seeing the ball break through her fingertips and over the ropes for six.
Kemp follows with six more, banging the ball over mid-wicket.

You really don't want two new batters at the crease together, especially in this format. That's the situation for Southern Brave now though. That was really good fielding from Oval Invincibles because they had the option of throwing at either end.
The more set and dangerous batter is out now, that was smart fielding. Southern Brave have hit a bit of a roadblock here all of a sudden.
Devine run out (Scholfield) 19 (Brave 124-4)
Oh dear.
Freya Kemp hits the ball to Paige Scholfield in the covers and calls her batting partner through for a single.
Scholfield fires the ball back at the wicketkeeper's stumps and Devine is well short.
After going along so well, Brave face the last 18 balls of the innings with two new batters.
Freya Kemp in at number five for Southern Brave.
She strikes Wellington's final ball in the covers and doesn't get a run off the shot.

Laura Wolvaardt is so cross with herself. Her area is usually over extra cover and she is one of the best in the world in that region.
She kind of slices it, it wasn't really straight out of the middle of the bat, and she didn't get the elevation that she wanted. Meg Lanning takes a good catch.
Wolvaardt c Lanning b Wellington 36 (Brave 123-3)
Six and out!
Laura Wolvaardt heaves Amanda-Jade Wellington over the long-on ropes but is dismissed from the following ball, smacking straight to Meg Lanning in the covers.
The Brave number three, like Bouchier before her, walks off looking distinctly annoyed at herself.
Nicole Harvey
Former Welsh Fire player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Laura Wolvaardt is effortless in what she does. She holds her shape so well and her head is very still once she hits the ball.
That just shows her pure class and how experienced she is at only 26 years old.

It is so difficult to keep Sophie Devine quiet. She has so many shot options in her locker.
She is averaging around 41 runs this season with the bat and obviously she has been fabulous with the ball as well.
Sophie Devine gets her second four, cracking Phoebe Franklin's first delivery past deep mid-wicket.
She takes a couple of twos and single from the rest of the set to move to 17 from 12 balls.

A little bit short from Tash Farrant there. Any change in length and these batters are going to maximise on it straightaway by just rocking back on that back foot.
If we look at Oval Invincibles' bowling so far, they have bowled well but they have had phases where they have just eased off the pressure with one bad ball or a slight change in length and line.
