    It's a terrible run! She hit it straight to the fielder.

    Southern Brave have pressed the panic button early. They didn't need to run for that.

    Mandhana run out 1 (Brave 5-2)

    Dear oh dear...

    Smriti Mandhana and Sophia Dunkley try to take on a single that was never there and, despite a less than ideal throw, Linsey Smith has plenty of time to knock the bails off and send Mandhana packing.

    Linsey Smith is on for a bowl.

    That is a stunning start from Kalea Moore.

    Sophia Dunkley sweeps her way off the mark, but that's all Southern Brave can manufacture from Fi Morris' set of five...

    The fielder did not have to move at all! It was a bit of a nothing shot, really.

    Wyatt c Davidson-Richards b Moore 2 (Brave 3-1)

    And Danni Wyatt spanks the ball to square leg!

    Wyatt goes for a sweep but hits it directly to - and I can't emphasise enough how direct it was, it was like catching practice in the morning - to Alice Davidson-Richards. Ouch.

    Danni Wyatt knows that this is the time to take on the spinners and try and hit a few over the fielders.

    Kalea Moore continues...

  13. Brave 3-0published at 70 balls left

    86 runs needed

    Smriti Mandhana gets the Brave off the mark in slightly awkward fashion with a hoick of the bat that sends an outside edge dribbling away for a single.

    Danni Wyatt also tries the aerial route but only gets two as the ball plugs in the soggy outfield.

    I am not in the mood for another rain delay.
