Glenn Phillips gets the superman dive out on the boundary but he can't stop the boundary. Quinton de Kock wants to get this done in a hurry it seems.

Oh that's nice! Alex Davies hits a classical, James Vince-esque boundary. The kids in the crowd are doing their best umpire impressions. Four runs.

Welsh Fire still need to find a way to dismiss Quinton de Kock.

Former England captain on BBC TwoDid he need to take that risk against Qais Ahmed at that moment? That's the question I'd be asking.

Well well... After I give James Vince the big build-up he chips one to the fielder in the deep. A glimmer of hope for Welsh Fire.

Target 145
In the office we're already talking about James Vince making this winter Ashes tour against Australia this winter. He has looked so good.

James Vince is seeing it like a basketball this summer. An effortless drive takes him to fifty.

That six only swung the game further in Southern Brave's favour. I'll repeat what I said the other day. Ever since I said Trent Rockets were clear favourites, every other team has done their best to make me look silly.
The Brave are doing it tonight. They're impressive.

Brave continue to tick along after the timeout. They don't need to go crazy here. Vince and De Kock could cruise it.

Welsh Fire take their strategic timeout at the halfway stage. They're struggling.

Jimmy Neesham is on.
There was an lbw in that last over which was turned down, by the way. Had Welsh Fire reviewed Quinton de Kock would have been out.
I wonder if Fire skipper Ben Duckett knows yet. A bad, bad miss.
