  3. Brave 103-2published at Ball 95

    Taylor 23, Dunkley 48

    Ismail unfurls a proper short ball this time, nasty, quick, and Sarah Bryce takes it at head-height.

    Her final two balls cost just one run, but that's a better little period for the Brave.

    It's well played by Stafanie Taylor. I think she knows the short ball is coming!

  5. Brave 102-2published at Ball 93

    Make that back to back fours!

    Ismail goes short, a big no-no on this pitch, and gets heartily thwacked by Taylor.

  6. Brave 98-2published at Ball 92

    Four!

    Stafanie Taylor hoicks through mid-wicket and hoicks well enough to beat the fielder inside he circle. Ismail is fuming.

    Shabnim Ismail will bowl her final set of five.

    Best case scenario, maybe they can get 115 from here?

    Time for the Southern Brave to swing and swing hard.

  11. Brave 92-2published at Ball 88

    Tash Farrant is back and almost strikes as a swipe from Sophia Dunkley takes an outside edge and flies past keeper Sarah Bryce.

    Sophia Dunkley is now the highest run-scorer in this tournament. She's had the most remarkable summer, making a score in Test, one-day and T20 cricket for England, and now the Hundred.

    There was a big double-teapot from Mady Villiers. She's not been too happy with some of the fielding!

    Sophia Dunkley has played really nicely. She didn't start very well but she's making the most of it now.

  15. Brave 87-2published at Ball 83

    That's a better shot from Sophia Dunkley, clearing her front leg and sending a one bounce four down the ground.

    You can probably guess how happy Dane van Niekerk looks after that disastrous set of five.

    She calls Mady Villiers back for her final set of five.

    It just went through her legs! Bad fielding can be contagious sometimes.

  18. Brave 80-2published at Ball 80

    And now a terrible bit of fielding on the boundary!

    Grace Gibbs tries to stop a swipe from Sophia Dunkley and instead just lets it roll straight through her legs and into the rope. Ouch.

    That was an easier opportunity. She can't believe she's put that one down.

    Taylor dropped on 11published at 16:22 British Summer Time 16 August 2021

    Well...

    This is a straightforward chance for Jo Gardner, Stafanie Taylor smacking the ball literally straight at her, and Gardner gets her hands to the ball at chest height, juggles it and drops it.
