    It's been a fantastic innings. He's played to his strengths, playing square of the wicket.

    What a knock by Stirling. Fantastic. This packed Lord's crowd are on their feet.

    50 for Stirlingpublished at Ball 54

    Obviously he goes there with a six too! How else would he do it?

    It is worth remembering that Paul Stirling was a replacement for a replacement in this tournament, after New Zealand's Devon Conway suffered a finger injury.

  5. Brave 65-2published at Ball 50

    Paul Stirling picks up a couple down the ground, before Pat Brown gains a small moral victory finishing with a dot ball.

    It is 11 from the set, though.

    This is a dangerous partnership building.

  7. Brave 63-2published at Ball 48

    Same ball. Same shot. Same result.

    Brilliant from Paul Stirling. Less good from Pat Brown.

    The run map shows Paul Stirling scored 43 with 4 sixes, 2 fours, 1 two, and 9 singles for Southern Brave Men

    Do not bowl there to Stirling. 'Feed me more balls there', he says.

  9. Brave 59-2published at Ball 47

    Poor ball again from Pat Brown.

    It is wide and Paul Stirling smashes it to the point boundary. That was beautifully timed.

    Brave 53-2published at Ball 44

    Shot! As I typed that last post, Paul Stirling did it again.

    That's his fourth six of the day now. Plenty for the crowd to enjoy.

    Southern Brave have such a good bowling attack. They just need to get a decent score to defend.

  14. Brave 45-2published at Ball 40

    That's a bit of a gift.

    Pat Brown - who has played for England in the past, before suffering from injuries - strays down the leg side and Alex Davies just whips it to the square leg boundary.

    I'd like to get a GPS tracker on Imran Tahir during a game. I reckon he does more miles than anyone else.

  17. Brave 38-2published at Ball 35

    Stirling 25, Davies 1

    Alex Davies is up and running straight away with a single.

    Brave may have to rebuild again here.

    What's a good score? 130? Surely that is the minimum that Brave will want with the power of the Phoenix line-up.

    Imran Tahir! He's ran 50m there to celebrate and he had everyone in that section of the ground on their feet.

    Imran Tahir is one of the most beautiful human beings. One of the most pure and genuine. People look at him and think what a carry on but he just loves the game.
