    Am I right in thinking you just had a selfie with some cows?

    Another good catch from Jo Gardner. She's been one of the best fielders in this tournament.

    Down the throat of long-on!

    The big shots just aren't coming off, as Sophia Dunkley tries to go down the ground but can't clear the fielder at mid-on.

    Danni Wyatt comes dancing down the track again but she can't clear Shabnim Ismail, who has an absolute rocket of an arm, down at long-on.

    Southern Brave needed that!

    A little bit too much air from Dane van Niekerk and Danni Wyatt skips down and hoicks her back down the ground for a maximum.

    The batters need to decide when they're going to start going for it because they can't keep going like this.

    Skipper Dane van Niekerk is bringing herself on.

    Excellent from Alice Capsey, backed up by some sharp fielding from the Oval Invincibles, and all the Southern Brave can hustle is a single here and there.

    Now then...

    Capsey starts off with a loopy delivery that Sophia Dunkley, advancing, can't get hold of. She should be stumped but Sarah Bryce just fumbles the ball as it comes at her at ankle-height, and Dunkley survives.

    Another change for Invincibles, with the excellent Alice Capsey coming on to bowl.

    It's been really impressive bowling from the Oval Invincibles. Maybe they're peaking just at the right time?

    Shabnim Ismail is fielding in the greatest pair of sunglasses I've seen in this competition. She always has a cracking pair of glasses, no matter what team she plays for.

    Tash Farrant is going to bowl another five, and Sophia Dunkley gets off the mark with a tasty-looking drive that rolls along the ground to mid-off.

    Well bowled, Tash Farrant. She's bowled full and tried to encourage the batter to hit over the fielders. It came off the toe end of Gaby Lewis' bat.

    Sophia Dunkley sees off her first few deliveries from Tash Farrant.
