    So, where does that leave things for the rest of the men's table?

    Birmingham Phoenix are already through, but with a game to play - so if they win that, they'll go straight through to the final and Brave would be in the eliminator against the Trent Rockets.

    Then the Southern Brave stuttered early on in their chase, with their dangerman Quinton de Kock unable to make a significant contribution.

    Oval Invincibles never really got going with the bat - Will Jacks and Alex Blake did most of the damage.

    Wow. What a game!

    A brilliant - and definitely entertaining - partnership between Alex Davies and Colin De Grandhomme - who scored 40 each, has steered the Southern Brave to victory and through to the next stage of the tournament.

    The Invincibles, though, are out.

    Dot ball! And a run out chance is missed!

    Another single. Poor Colin De Grandhomme looks as if he has absolutely nothing left.

    Alex Davies looks fresh as a daisy.

    A debacle.

    What just happened?!

    So it's a no ball for height. De Grandhomme gets it away for a single. Then there's a wild throw in from the fielder and they run three more.

    Next ball is a free hit.

    I can't even ...
