  1. WICKET

    Adams lbw b Gibson 18 (Brave 138-4)

    One last twist? Georgia Adams tries to swipe the ball away but misses. The result is the simplest of lbw decisions for the umpire.

    It's not done just yet.

  2. Brave 138-3

    It's a hot one in Southampton, that's for sure.

    Has that impacted the Spirit? After another four is hit by Georgia Adams, Beth Mooney misses a stumping chance.

    The Brave are closing in.

    Henry Moeran has just handed me back my very own sunglasses and they are covered in sweat.

  4. Brave 132-3

    Target 156

    Freya Davies has not had the best of days. Her 15 balls so far have cost 32 runs. She comes back well here after that no-ball but the damage may already have been done.

    The Brave need 24 runs from 20 balls. Very do-able.

    That is very useful for the Southern Brave. It's very nearly one a ball now.

  6. Brave 128-3

    Four! It's not pretty but Dunkley punishes the no-ball by finishing the boundary again.

  7. Brave 124-3

    Argh. Freya Davies starts her latest spell with a no-ball.

    Free hit coming up.

    Oval Invincibles batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a very good test for Charlie Dean to be captaining at this level so early in her career.

    25 balls to go graphic
  10. Brave 121-3

    Need 35 runs to win

    The destructive start Danni Wyatt gave this innings means Adams and Dunkley can now afford a moment or two to be cautious. Dean keeps things tight in this set of five balls.

    The Brave remain the favourites.

  11. Post update

    Charlie Dean brings herself back onto bowl. These are crucial moments for the Spirit.

    With every innings Sophia Dunkley looks more like one of the leading players in the world game at the moment.

    Lauren Winfield-Hill

    Oval Invincibles batter on BBC Radio

    She is such a horrible player to bowl at. She scores in such unorthodox areas.

  14. Brave 117-3

    Need 39 runs to win

    Did Sophia 'slam dunk' Dunkley hear Lauren Winfield-Hill on commentary? Just as it was suggestion the England international was under pressure she whacks two fours in quick succession.

    The second is a lovely cut shot.

  15. Brave 112-3

    Whack! Sophia Dunkley takes running out of the equation by smacking Danielle Gibson for four.

    43 runs needed from 32...

    Lauren Winfield-Hill

    Oval Invincibles batter on BBC Radio

    There is a bit of pressure on Sophia Dunkley. She has to be the one to see this home.

  17. Brave 107-3

    Need 49 runs to win

    Mix-up! Just as the Brave were looking good again they almost throw a wicket away. Georgia Adams sets off for a run but is halfway down the pitch before being sent back by Sophia Dunkley.

    Adams is way short of her ground but the throw is not taken cleanly and she can scramble home.

    Oval Invincibles batter on BBC Radio

    A lovely shot from Georgia Adams, good use of the feet. Just putting Amelia Kerr back under pressure.

  19. Brave 107-3

    That eases the tension! The home crowd cheers as Georgia Adams thumps Amelia Kerr for six.

    Lauren Winfield-Hill

    Oval Invincibles batter on BBC Radio

    I'm intrigued to see who Charlie Dean turns to in the next 10-15 balls. Yes, they need to stem the flow of runs but one or two more wickets changes the game.

    If Kerr is your most threatening bowler, keep her on. It's the best chance you've got of winning.
