  1. Brave 72-1

    Target 145

    I've just spotted a young lad about six or seven punching the air in delight as James Vince sweeps for four. I hope he doesn't think Vince does this every time.

  2. Brave 66-1

    Need 79 runs to win from 60 balls

    Southern Brave are going top of the men's table unless Welsh Fire can find something.

  3. Brave 65-1

    These are worrying signs for Welsh Fire. Quinton de Kock is finding his range.

    Back-to-back fours are hit by the South African off Glenn Phillips.

  4. Brave 57-1

    Target 145

    Graeme White is on - the player who dropped Vince a little earlier. He has some making up to do. The spinner doesn't find the wicket but he does keep the runs down.

  5. Brave 53-1

    Need 92 more runs to win

    Qais has his orange headband on again. It's becoming his trademark. He's all-action, bobbing into the crease before bowling with a fast arm with limbs everywhere.

    After all that James Vince pulls him expertly for four into a gap. Vince is flying now.

  6. Welsh Fire are playing their trump card early. Here's Qais Ahmad, the Afghanistan spinner.

    James Vince is on a roll! A step and a swing for six!

    Brave 45-1

    Need 100 more runs to win

    But James Vince makes them pay! Tuffers said he was getting twitchy a moment ago but he hammers three consecutive boundaries - the last a big six over the team bench.

    Vince dropped on 11

    It's really hard calling this a drop. It's a one-handed chance from Graeme White on the run. He did well to get a hand there. Vince survives - and gets four.

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    You get the feeling that Vince is getting a bit frustrated. He's hit a few straight at the fielders.

  12. Ravi Bopara
    Former Essex and England all-rounder on BBC Two

    I just saw my old PE teacher on the big screen! I've forgotten his name though.

  13. Earlier Leus du Plooy was dismissed and broke his bat at the same time. Not a good moment for him...

  14. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    What a bit of timing that is from Vince. That is just elegance and pure class. Glorious.

  15. Brave 31-1

    Need 114 more runs to win

    James Vince through the covers... He's so good.

  16. Brave 26-1

    Need 119 more runs to win

    Carlos is wearing his coat now rather than using it as a blanket. I just want to be his friend.

    James Vince puts away a drag down from Glenn Phillips.

  17. Ravi Bopara
    London Spirit all-rounder on BBC Two

    The pattern throughout the tournament is that it gets harder to bat as the ball goes softer. You need to get off to a good start.

  18. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    One quality partnership will get the Brave close to this target.

  19. Brave 22-1

    Quinton de Kock is possibly the biggest overseas star in this tournament following a series of withdrawals. He has been in really good form.

  20. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    James Vince is captain cool - he likes to hit through the off side and has a glorious cover drive.
