  1. Brave 140-5published at 96 balls

    Colin de Grandhomme is caught off the free hit by Joe Denly in the deep.

    He can't be out of course that way, but he can be run out, taking a risky second...

    Safe.

  2. Brave 138-5published at 95 balls

    Oh dear.

    Blake Cullen starts the final five with a high full toss that is called a no-ball and that Colin de Grandhomme also smacks over point for four.

    Free hit coming up.

    Alex Davies' run map illustrates perfectly how he has worked the ball into gaps all around the ground, and run hard.

  4. Brave 132-5published at 95 balls

    Alex Davies plays a reverse-paddle-sweep-shovel shot. (I've never seen it before, that's what I'm calling it).

    He can't beat the fielder at short third though and it's just a single.

    Chris Wood ends with 22 runs and one wicket off his 20 balls. A fine showing.

  5. Brave 130-5published at 94 balls

    Davies 45 off 36 balls

    More doubles than a day at the darts.

    Alex Davies picks up another couple, more sedately run this time.

  6. Brave 129-5published at 93 balls

    Alex Davies scurries yet another two.

    He should've been in trouble there but Joe Denly's throw in from the boundary was poor.

    Jason Roy could offer some lessons in how to throw in from the boundary at Lord's.

    Colin is a lovely, laidback guy, who is very softly spoken. His haircut reflects his personality.

  8. Brave 127-5published at 92 balls

    Colin of Big Man with a Big Drive.

    But it's straight at Eoin Morgan in the covers.

    It's enough for De Grandhomme to get off the mark with a single.

  9. Brave 126-5published at 91 balls

    Chris Wood to bowl - just 15 runs off his 15 balls so far, with one wicket.

    Alex Davies carves it out to deep cover for a single.

  12. Brave 125-5published at 90 balls

    Colin de Grandhomme - perhaps the most loved player in The Hundred? - arrives, his mullet in tow.

    He can't get off the mark first up though.

    Mohammad Amir is done - 31 runs and one wicket off his 20 balls.

    That's an important wicket - Whiteley looked like he was starting to accelerate.

    That was a horrible, mis-timed shot.

    Whiteley c Inglis b Amir 13 (Brave 125-5)

    We're not going to see many sixes at Lord's today, it seems.

    Ross Whiteley is the latest to target the ropes, only to miscue it off this pitch, instead picking out Josh Inglis with a pull shot.

  17. Brave 125-4published at 88 balls

    Ross Whiteley smacks it back over Mohammad Amir's head and away for four.

  18. Brave 120-4published at 86 balls

    Mohammad Amir carries on. He's going to bowl out here.

    That's a fine yorker that misses off-stump by a hair's width.

    Hang on, that might even have clipped the stump, without dislodging the bail. Remarkable.

  19. Brave 120-4published at 85 balls

    Mohammad Amir bangs down a very short bouncer to the dimunitive Alex Davies and it's called a no-ball.

    Davies then scampers yet another quick two. Tremendous running.

  20. Brave 116-4published at 84 balls

    Davies 37 off 29 balls

    Sublime! Alex Davies gets low to scoop a ramp flick over the keeper's head for four.
