  1. 6 runs

    Brave 114-7

    Well, the equation is looking unlikely for the Brave but that's some strike from Craig Overton. He sends Sam Curran 10 rows back over square leg!

    They need a few more of those, though. 34 needed from 10 balls.

    We got the feeling that Southern Brave were perhaps a batter short. Well their engine room hasn't had a lot of batting this tournament...

  3. Brave 103-7

    Decent effort from Adam Zampa too, finishing with 2-26.

    Southern Brave need 44 from 15 balls. It's looking very unlikely.

  4. What a spell!

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    They are such good scrappers the Oval Invincibles!

    They felt that they were under pressure and they have comeback and delivered through Mahmood and Zampa.

    Zampa has just tricked him with the line on that one.

    WICKET

    Jordan b Zampa 1 (Brave 102-6)

    It's unravelling quickly for the Southern Brave.

    Four wickets have fallen in the space of 11 balls as Oval Invincibles tighten their grip on this game, with Adam Zampa going to the top of the wicket-taking charts by bowling Chris Jordan through the gate.

    They are a formidable side, for sure.

    It shows the confidence that Oval Invincibles have in Saqib Mahmood as well.

    He missed out on those two years because of a back injury but they still retained him because they knew how good he was and how impactful he can be.

  8. Brave 100-6

    Target 148

    Saqib Mahmood finishes a phenomenal spell of 3-17.

    And this is why the wicket of Laurie Evans was such an important one - he can be so dangerous.

  9. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Saqib Mahmood has turned the game upside down for the Oval Invincibles!

    Tom Curran has got a smile on his face. That didn't look like happening 10 or 15 minutes ago but what a spell from Mahmood!

    What a time to come on and bowl such a spell for your skipper.

    WICKET

    Evans c Malan b Mahmood 16 (Brave 100-6)

    Three wickets in seven balls for Saqib Mahmood - the game-changer!

    Laurie Evans chips one up to cover, a soft dismissal, and Oval Invincibles are on the charge.

    Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan are in the middle with 48 runs still required from the final 22 balls.

    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Another good decision to get the seam back on.

    The atmosphere is getting heavy now - a little bit of dew, skid and sideways movement for the seamers.

    Pollard never got going - I don't think he ever hit a ball, did he? I mean he missed the first three!

    WICKET

    Pollard lbw b Mahmood 0 (Brave 99-5)

    Got 'im!

    Hitting middle, and it's a wonderful piece of bowling. Full, fast and straight - keeping it simple but it does the trick.

    Saqib Mahmood is on a roll here. Kieron Pollard didn't even get a bat to any of his four deliveries that he faced.

  13. Brave review

    Full and fast from Saqib Mahmood, striking Kieron Pollard on the pads.

    Surely this is out?! The finger goes up but Pollard reviews, rather tentatively.

  14. With Brave 58-0, it's been a very impressive fightback from the defending champions Oval Invincibles.

  15. Brave 99-4

    Target 148

    Great effort from Saqib Mahmood, with three dots whizzing past Kieron Pollard to begin his innings.

    But he is the danger man. He hit five sixes in a row earlier in the competition!

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    What a beauty from Mahmood! Just what the Oval Invincibles needed.

    It bursts through the defences of Du Plooy, cannons off the pad I think and hits the middle of the leg. Great delivery - and just at the right time!

    WICKET

    Du Plooy b Mahmood 20 (Brave 99-4)

    It shifts again! Saqib Mahmood with a huge wicket for the Invincibles.

    Du Plooy had smashed the previous ball for four and Mahmood responds perfectly. The batter gives himself a bit of room, but gets his timing all wrong and loses leg stump.

    49 from 28 balls is the equation.

  18. Dawid Malan
    Oval Invincibles fielder on Player Mic on BBC Two

    We have done really well after the powerplay. I think this is going to be a bit of a gamble these next five balls.

    Wickets will be key in this because new batters on strike and those five balls just fly through, so wickets are always key in this format.

  19. That Laurie Evans six shifts WinViz back in Brave's favour...

    Brave 95-3

    Target 148

    Adam Zampa has bowled brilliantly, and you can see his wicket below - but Laurie Evans fancies some of this.

    He whips one for four before absolutely launching the last ball of the set into the stands.

    Another swing in momentum...
