    He has 90 on his back. He needs to get 93.3.

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Full, straight and quick. He blows him apart. A great bit of bowling and we have our first five-for in the Hundred. Incredible.

    WICKET

    Garton b De Lange 0 (Brave 121-8)

    FIVE-WICKET HAUL! It's another first in The Hundred.

    It's 93mph, and George Garton swings hard and he misses. Marchant de Lange doesn't, it hits middle stump.

    Great bowling. He's taken five wickets in 18 balls.

  5. Brave 121-7

    Dot ball.

    Great bowling from Marchant de Lange as he goes through the swing of George Garton.

    I love it when a plan comes together. Bowl it short to Chris Jordan with everyone on the leg side. He has hit it straight down his throat.

    De Lange is having a field day. But it is well worked out before play.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Jordan c Short b De Lange 16 (Brave 121-7)

    Marchant de Lange has four wickets!

    It's perfect fielding setting from Lewis Gregory and Trent Rockets, as an attempted pull is hit straight down the throat of D'Arcy Short at deep square leg.

    It's really clever bowling, from round the wicket from the right-handed bowler.

  9. Marchant de Lange is going to bowl the final set of five.

  10. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    It is a good effort from Joe Root down on the boundary, but it just had enough on it. You can see what he was trying to do. Root tried to catch it and flick it back in.

    These two are just giving Brave a sniff here.

  11. 6 runs

    Brave 121-6

    Tipped over the bar by Joe Root!

    Chris Jordan stands baseball-style and flat bats it, and he gets just about enough on it to clear Root at long-on.

    Root was trying to flick it back, to stop the six, rather than catch it I think.

  12. Brave 114-6

    Chris Jordan picks up a single with a pull, before Lewis Gregory sends down a leg-side wide.

    He's looking to stop Ross Whiteley freeing his arms.

  13. Brave 112-6

    There have been 46 dot balls from 92 so far, exactly half.

    It's the most in the tournament so far.

  14. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    He had all three stumps to aim at Gregory. Whiteley had given up. Not even in the frame.

  15. Brave 112-6

    HIT EM!

    Southern Brave take a really risky single, and Lewis Gregory has time to gather, settle himself, and hit the stumps at the non-striker's end but his throw misses.

    A missed opportunity.

  16. Rockets captain Lewis Gregory is on. He's got 10 balls available. Will he bowl them all? Or will he just bowl five?

  17. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    People at home, let me tell you, 92mph is quick. You hardly have a blink of the eye to make a decision.

  18. Brave 111-6

    Marchant de Lange has barely missed a beat today. He's executing his skills perfectly. He wasn't meant to be playing in this tournament, he was a late replacement for Wahab Riaz.

    Such is Trent Rockets dominance they've only got four fielders outside the ring at the moment. They are allowed five.

    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Usually the faster you bowl, batters can just deflect it. But De Lange has been bang on the money.

  20. Brave 109-6

    Marchant de Lange just misses the yorker and Chris Jordan manages to get underneath it well enough to clear Joe Root at mid-on.

    It trickles to the boundary. Useful runs.
