Alex Davies should be gone!
He skips down to his first delivery, is beaten all ends up, and Tom Moores can't hold on to the ball as it comes quickly towards him.

Stirling c De Lange b Carter 31 (Brave 69-2)
Finally, something goes right for the Rockets!
Marchant de Lange slightly overruns as he eyes up a skied shot from Paul Stirling and it looks as though he's shelled it as the ball bobbles out of his hand. However, he's aware enough to turn, stick out his right hand and cling on to the rebound to end Stirling's entertaining knock.

There's 21,458 at The Oval tonight.
James Vince gives them something to cheer about as he swings, misses, and the ball nutmegs poor Tom Moores to run away for four byes.

Of all the people's chips to steal, why would you steal Carlos Brathwaite's?! Nicest man in the world.

That's as sweet a hit as you could hope to see from James Vince, flat and straight back down over the head of new bowler Samit Patel for another six.

Rashid Khan has the Afghanistan flag painted on both his cheeks. Since coming into government, the Taliban has changed the country's flag from the black, red and green horizontal stripes to a white one with Islamic scripture.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 LiveI'm enjoying this start from Southern Brave, they want to get out of here.

Oh, I love watching Paul Stirling!
His head barely moves, eyes down, as still as you like as he absolutely tonks the ball back over Cook's head and it lands into the boundary rope with a pleasing thwack.

Sam Cook is back and he's worked here and there for a couple of singles, before Paul Stirling completely misses a swing at a slower ball.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 LiveI love this from James Vince. He's facing one of the best bowlers in the world but he doesn't care, he just wants to get his team the win as soon as possible.

Rashid Khan ends with a delivery that James Vince just about avoids nicking onto his stumps.
