    Sorry, that hasn't been called a dead ball - it went for four, just past the pitch invader, and the four runs have been allowed to stand!

    David Willey is, understandably, a bit irked at this.

    It distracts the players, it disrupts the game and it makes people feel unsafe. There's no need.

    Dead ball, because there's some idiot that's run onto the field as Quinton de Kock tried to swivel into a four.

  5. Brave 10-0published at 93 balls left

    119 runs needed

    Matty Potts enters the attack and begins with an lbw shout against Paul Stirling, before the Ireland international scrambles a single from the next delivery.

    That's smart batting from Stirling. He knew Willey made changes to the field so he was able to smash it over the fielder he brought in.

  7. Brave 9-0published at 95 balls left

    120 runs needed

    Shot!

    Paul Stirling cuts and cuts furiously for the first four of the innings.

  8. Brave 4-0published at 97 balls left

    Quinon de Kock is off the mark to his next ball, before Paul Stirling tries to flick a delivery over the ropes and ends up with three as the ball hangs in the air for an eternity.

  9. Brave 0-0published at 99 balls left

    129 runs needed

    Big lbw shout first up against Quinton de Kock, but I reckon that's high, and the umpire is unmoved.

  10. Opening batters: Quinton de Kock & Paul Stirlingpublished at 20:24 British Summer Time 7 August 2021

    It's newly-signed Paul Stirling who opens up alongside Quinton de Kock tonight.

    David Willey will bowl the first set of five...

    Right, shall we have a run chase?

    Southern Brave need 129 from 100 balls on a ground where they knocked off 152 against the Phoenix last week.

    Cheers, Ffion.

    That's an alright total for the Superchargers, considering how their innings began, but Brave are a strong batting side.

    Dane Vilas finishes 35 not out, and had to run a large proportion of those in ones and twos given how well Brave's bowlers performed.

    You'd imagine Brave will chase this comfortably, but we've seen plenty of twists in this tournament so far. Here's Amy Lofthouse to take you through it.

    You have to have partnerships to be able to build on a good total, particularly at the top of the order, and Superchargers didn't have that tonight.

  15. Superchargers 128-6published at Ball 100

    A bit more hurried running from the last five gets the Superchargers to 128.

    You'd think that's a below par score, and Brave will be very happy with that performance.

  16. Superchargers 123-6published at Ball 95

    A bit more scampering gets them a few more runs but the much needed boundaries are evading the Superchargers here.

  17. Superchargers 120-6published at Ball 93

    Some very quick running between the wickets gets Vilas two more.

  18. Superchargers 118-6published at Ball 92

    Brydon Carse gets a single and Dane Vilas is on strike, who knows he's got to do most of the work here seeing as he's pretty set on 29.

  19. Superchargers 116-6published at Ball 90

    Can the Superchargers biff their way to 130 or so?

  20. Superchargers 115-6published at Ball 89

    What's going on?! The batters go for a quick single, bit of miscommunication and it should be the world's easiest run out but there's no one at the stumps for the bowler to throw it to, so Brydon Carse makes it back.
