  1. Brave 62-1published at 62 balls left

    LET OFF!

    Dunkley pulls and top edges high to be caught by the keeper. But it is called a no ball.

    The free hit goes for just a single.

    I'm not sure about this tactic from the Phoenix. They've got to bowl straight.

  3. Brave 59-1published at 63 balls left

    Short again. This time it is uppercut for four more. Brave on an absolute roll.

    That is not the length to bowl here - short and wide will see you get clattered.

    Arlott returns. Dunkley cuts for four. All in the timing.

    Brave look very confident here. A few more sets of these two at the crease and it is very much on.

    I was looking at the field and you could just sense Wyatt was looking to give herself some room to play that shot. What a strike.

  9. Brave 50-1published at 66 balls left

    That is a shot. Danni Wyatt dances down and hammers one through cover, cutting daisies as it goes.

  10. Brave 45-1published at 68 balls left

    96 runs needed

    No chances taken in Southampton. The floodlights are on despite the sun now being out. There are still a few clouds with menace in them up in the sky though.

    Kirstie Gordon has the ball. Dunkley sweeps for four to take the runs required down to double figures.

  11. Brave 40-1published at 70 balls left

    101 runs needed

    Burns recovers and finishes her set of five well.

    When Wyatt is in form, that is her shot.

  13. Brave 39-1published at 74 balls left

    Burns is back, still sporting her cap.

    Immediately, Wyatt dispatches her for four over cover. Two steps and crack.

  14. Brave 35-1published at 16:44 British Summer Time 30 July 2021

    Wyatt 6, Dunkley 22

    106 runs needed. The Brave have made a decent start. Foundations laid.

  15. Brave 34-1published at 76 balls left

    107 runs needed

    This is a better, truer shot. Down to one knee and bang! Four more.

  16. Brave 30-1published at 77 balls left

    Dunkley continues to swing. She gets lucky too with a top edge over the keeper and down to the rope for four.

  17. Brave 26-1published at 79 balls left

    Georgia Elwiss joins the fun with ball in hand.

    Starts with a wide and is then guided for a single by Wyatt, who looks like she wants to be the glue for this innings.

  18. Brave 24-1published at 80 balls left

    117 runs needed

    Well, the Brave are having a go. Like they have a choice. If Dunkley stays around she can really eat into this run chase.

    That was perfect timing. It was just a little punch really.

    That may be the shot of the day from Sophia Dunkley! What a hit!
