Eoin Morgan is the new batter. The former England skipper misses his first ball from Fuller. Fuller, the 32-year-old who plays at this ground for Hampshire in county cricket, has only conceded three runs from 10 balls.
We're halfway through the innings.

Oval Invincibles batter on BBC RadioFantastic work there by James Vince. It went like a bullet towards him. That is a huge wicket, Brave will fancy themselves here now.

Maxwell c Vince b Fuller 34 (Spirit 68-3)
Right on cue! Glenn Maxwell is out. He's smashed another off seamer James Fuller but it goes to Brave skipper James Vince at head height and he takes a very good catch. That was travelling.
Spirit 67-2published at Ball 45
I'm stating the obvious here but Southern Brave really need to get Glenn Maxwell out. He has 34 from 19 balls.

Oval Invincibles batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is going to be a test for Rehan Ahmed. He's having his breakout summer, but now he's bowling to Glenn Maxwell!
Spirit 66-2published at Ball 44
I gave Ahmed the big build up but it's all about Glenn Maxwell at the moment. The Australian sweeps the teenage spinner for four. It was very nearly six.
Two balls later he plays the same shot again. Same result!

17-year-old leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, one of the most exciting players in the tournament is now on for his first bowl of the day.

Maxwell 25, Bell-Drummond 5
Jordan is up near 90mph as he hurls the ball down. Brisk.
Glenn Maxwell doesn't mind though. He's smoked this one down the ground.

One of the biggest cheers of the day as England bowler Chris Jordan comes into the attack.

Huuuuuuge from Glenn Maxwell.
They're searching for the ball in the stands after the Australian attacked spinner Jake Lintott.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC radioThat's a very, very bad review.
Not outpublished at 18:56 British Summer Time 12 August 2022
No. No, Maxwell is not out. That's a really poor review.

More reviews than TripAdvisor here.
This time Southern Brave ask the question. Is Maxwell out lbw?

West Indies all-rounder on BBC radioGlenn Maxwell may be more known for his funky shots but there is a proper batter in there too.
He'll want that one clipped for his socials.
