    The James Vince run out was untimely. You felt it was set up for him. A bit of lapse of communication and he's gone.

  2. Brave 38-3published at 70 balls left

    Alex Davies hits a glorious shot for another four. They'll need a few more of those if they're going to win this.

    That was a great piece of fielding in the deep. Shamsi has run all the way out to congratulate the fielder.

    What a blow that is.

    Vince run out Roy 12 (Brave 31-3)

    What a bizarre bit of cricket! Bit of indecision between Vince and Alex Davies about whether to come back for two, Vince is wandering a little but it's an incredible throw from Jason Roy.

    Has James Vince been run out? Shamsi is celebrating already ...

  8. Brave 31-2published at 73 balls left

    104 more runs needed

    Ooh, nearly! There's a big lbw shout from his first ball but it's not given.

    Vince gets his second away for four to ease the pressure.

    Here comes Tabraiz Shamsi. If you haven't seen him bowl before, he's known for his celebration. It's quite something - will we see it tonight?

    James Vince's game has definitely gone up a notch this summer. He's showed a lot of maturity.

  11. Brave 27-2published at 75 balls left

    108 more runs needed

    A good powerplay from the Invincibles, you'd say. But Brave won't be panicking yet - not while James Vince is there, anyway.

    Smell the leather! That teased the hairs of Alex Davies' nostrils. It was quick.

  13. Brave 26-2published at 77 balls left

    Saqib Mahmood gets a vicious ball that lifts up and scoots past Alex Davies' nose and through to the keeper. Just keeping him on his toes.

  14. Brave 24-2published at 80 balls left

    111 more runs needed

    Lovely shot! Alex Davies ramps Topley over the keeper's head for four.

    The worm shows Southern Brave Men are 22 runs behind Oval Invincibles Men. Southern Brave Men are 24 for 2 after 20 balls. At the same stage Oval Invincibles Men were 46 for 2
  15. Brave 19-2published at 83 balls left

    Almost a repeat of Alex Hales' unfortunate incident, but James Vince gets luckier and it hits him in the stomach instead.

    Next ball is swatted away for four, so it didn't affect him too much.

  16. Brave 15-2published at 85 balls left

    120 more runs needed

    Tom Curran, still wearing his head band, completes a very good set of five that gets him one wicket and concedes just two runs.

    Not the start that Southern Brave would've wanted, that's for sure.

    Oh dear. There's not much to say about this one, really. Tom Curran bowls a slower ball and Stirling just chips it up in the air for a simple catch.

    Brave in trouble already.

    Well, what has captain James Vince got here?
