    He felt it was coming straight to him, Stanley there. He barely moved. In the end it was a big dive.

    Dropped catch

    Jake Lintott pulls the ball high into the direction of Mitchell Stanley who dives forward and is just unable to claim the catch.

    You feel Southern Brave's overseas players have just not performed well, Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis and Tim David. They're all out of form.

  4. Brave 98-7

    Defending champions Southern Brave didn't lose a match at home in The Hundred last year, but they look to be going out on a whimper here.

    Four singles off Matt Parkinson before a reverse sweep from Ross Whiteley brings him four. Parkinson has his hands on his hips, but it's all largely academic.

    91 needed off 30 balls.

    Almost a foregone conclusion here. It was looking like bad news for Manchester Originals but they are pulling their way back into this competition.

    Another one gone, Fuller for a first-ball duck. Their bad start to the season continues, Southern Brave heading for a fourth defeat in five.

    WICKET

    Fuller c (sub Harrison) b Walter 0 (Brave 89-7)

    Go big, or go home is James Fuller's mantra.

    He's very much opening the front door to his house after smacking his first ball from Paul Walter straight into the hands of Calvin Harrison down the ground.

    The Originals have this in the bag now.

    BBC Radio

    That, you feel, is probably that. The man who was finding the boundaries, George Garton, is gone now.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Garton b Walter 25 (Brave 87-6)

    The big man strikes, and he has a huge smile on his face.

    George Garton goes for another big swing of the bat, but this time he misses and the ball clatters into his stumps.

  10. Brave 85-5

    Left-arm seamer Paul Walter, all 6ft 10in of him, is into the attack.

    George Garton has an almighty swipe at his penultimate delivery but it's not a clean contact and the boundary eludes him.

  11. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio

    No time to rebuild for Southern Brave. That's the power of taking wickets in a chase like this.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    David c Abbott b Russell 10 (Brave 82-5)

    Brave running out of batters...

    Tim David slashes at one short from Andre Russell but he cannot get it over the fielder and Sean Abbott claims the catch.

  13. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio

    It's never nice, that, especially when you are fielding in front of the away supporters.

  14. Brave 82-4

    West Indies international Andre Russell is brought into the attack by Jos Buttler, and Tim David pulls him to the leg side boundary. Mitchell Stanley makes a hash of the fielding and it wrong foots him to dribble over the boundary sponge for four.

  15. The worm shows Southern Brave Men are six runs ahead of Manchester Originals Men. Southern Brave Men are 76 for 4 after 50 balls. At the same stage Manchester Originals Men were 70 for 1.bbc

  17. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC radio

    That is a quality shot from Garton. I remember last year, I was very impressed with his all-round performance. Need more than a cameo from him today.

  18. 6 runs

    Brave 76-4

    Tim David is befuddled by one that turns from spinner Matt Parkinson and plays a kid of table tennis tap into the ground to get a single.

    A couple of balls later and the left-handed George Garton is a lot more at ease against Parkinson and he hits him, as clean as whistle, for six straight down the park.

    Great striking.

  19. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Radio

    I think it's near impossible now for Southern Brave. It's going to take something really special.

  20. Brave 63-4

    Mitchell Stanley bounces Tim David, but the Singapore international is a tall man. 6ft 5in (1.96m) in fact. And is able to get over the top of it and pull it square for a single.

    126 needed for the Brave. Big ask from here.
