    Given they were so far ahead in the game, I really don't think Alex Davies needed to play that shot.

    Davies st Simpson b Rashid 14 (Brave 129-3)

    Oh, and he's done Alex Davies like an absolute kipper.

    Davies, for some reason, comes charging down the pitch to Adil Rashid, who spins the ball straight past him and John Simpsons whips the bails off before Davies has had time to turn around.

    Speaking of Adil Rashid, he's back for his last five.

    We were treated to an Adil Rashid beauty a little earlier on.

    Quinton de Kock always plays the game with a free spirited air about him. He never looks flustered. He hasn't quite fired in this competition so far but he'll welcome this score. He's peaking at the right time and that's what you want from your big players.

  11. Brave 95-2published at 34 balls left

    34 runs needed

    Wallop! A full toss and it is mullered by Quinton de Kock!

    That takes him to his 50, too, from just 31 balls. Seven fours in that.

    Oh, Brydon Carse has overstepped, and it'll be a free hit for QdK...

    They're cruising this.

    Northern Superchargers will need a bit more of this if they're to rescue this one...

  15. Brave 89-2published at 35 balls left

    40 runs needed

    This is all a bit too easy for Southern Brave.

    If these two bat 30 more balls, it's game over. I think Superchargers might as well try and be more aggressive and bring some fielders in.

  17. Brave 84-2published at 38 balls left

    45 runs needed

    Mujeeb ur Rahman comes back and his first ball is driven nicely by Quinton de Kock - so nicely that it beats two fielders, who both end up sliding face first into the boundary sponges. They've done well to avoid each other, actually, and the physio just wanders over to check they're OK.

    Ooft. Some... interesting running from Southern Brave in this set of five.

    They get through it unscathed, however, and still very well placed for another victory.

    Ben Raine is coming on for the first time.
