  1. They could do with a few more of these.

  2. Brave 77-4

    58 more runs needed

    Some nice shots from De Grandhomme and Davies but they all find the fielders. The pressure is probably just starting to creep up on them a bit.

  3. Henry Moeran

    It seems to be that, when players come in, they are struggling to find rhythm.

  4. Brave 69-3

    66 more runs needed

    After all that, Colin de Grandhomme is at the crease. Still rocking the mullet.

    There was a lot going on there, wasn't there?! He's done him with the dummy - he's fallen over and then run him out. Never run on a misfield!

  6. New batter: Colin de Grandhomme

    The crowd are booing. They think they have seen Laurie Evans' foot touching the boundary rope on the replay.

    What a throw from Laurie Evans! A bizarre dismissal.

    WICKET

    Garton run out Evans 21 (Invincibles 68-3)

    Oh. It's out. The crowd don't think it's out but after a lot - and I mean, a lot - of replays, the decision stands.

  10. Brave 69-3

    Okay, there's a lot going on here. Laurie Evans does very well, another sliding stop to save a boundary. He falls over after taking it, so the batters try and run another. And now they're looking at a run out. It looked like he hit the stumps with his hands?

  11. 6 runs

    Brave 67-3

    Another one for Garton, this one going over the ropes when it was barely hit off the ground. He's hitting sixes but there's a lot of dot balls in between. A very all-or-nothing innings.

  12. Brave 60-3

    Not another run out?!

    Well, it should be. Davies was miles away, but Sunil Narine couldn't take the ball cleanly and so they somehow scamper a two.

    It was a very casual attempt from Narine, it must be said.

    We saw in the first game how quickly things can change. You don't want to let the runs get ahead of you.

    The worm shows Southern Brave Men are 16 runs behind Oval Invincibles Men. Southern Brave Men are 59 for 3 after 50 balls. At the same stage Oval Invincibles Men were 75 for 4.

  14. Brave 58-3

    78 more runs needed

    Southern Brave just ticking over in singles at the moment. They need a few boundaries, and they need them pretty soon.

  15. Alex Blake played a very helpful cameo for the Invincibles. Who's going to do the same for the Brave if they're going to win this?

  16. Brave 55-3

    80 more runs needed

    A lovely piece of fielding from Reece Topley, sliding along on his knees, saves a boundary that the Brave were desperate for.

  17. This graphic is showing one thing - Southern Brave need to get a wiggle on!

  18. Brave 51-3

    84 more runs needed

    Genuinely have no idea who's going to win this one. It could be close.

  19. 6 runs

    Brave 50-3

    I did wonder why George Garton was sent in at number five but that's why! He gets down on one knee and swats the ball way back into the stands.

  20. Brave 42-3

    93 more runs needed

    It's chaos out there. The ball goes high, high in the air but nowhere near any fielders. But the batters are too busy watching the ball so the running is a bit of a mess yet again.

    You sense Brave just need to calm down a little.
