  1. Post update

    That's all from this live test as Southern Brave begin a busy day of Hundred action with a comfortable victory.

    We will return at 14:15 for coverage of Oval Invincibles v Welsh Fire in the women's competition, plus updates from Southern Brave v Northern Superchargers in the men's.

    See you there!

  2. Post update

    Southern Brave captain Anya Shrubsole to Sky Sports: "Really pleased with the way we bounced back from Friday. We were really disappointed with the way we bowled in particular. It was a bit of a scrappy run chase but a win's a win.

    "Lauren Bell set the tone with her first five balls. To two take two wickets and restrict their runs set the tone.

    "I was pretty terrible on Friday. I was really disappointed with the way I bowled. But it was nice to be able to come here and put it right."

    On Rhianna Southby: "I have been winding her up all day. It is like Rhianna Southby day. But she is an exceptional keeper and probably the second-best keeper in the country behind Amy Jones, so we are really happy to have her."

  3. Post update

    Southern Brave return to the top of the table after securing their second win from three games - though they have played a game more than everyone else.

    Northern Superchargers are third with one win and one defeat from their two matches so far.

  4. Post update

    Match Hero Southern Brave's Rhianna Southby: "It is amazing. I've not been anywhere near my best but to show people what I'm capable of is brilliant.

    "It is tough. I spent a lot of time in the indoor school to try and get used to the low pitches that we've had.

    "The catch to dismiss Alice Davidson-Richards was my favourite because under-edges are difficult to take because they go low."

  5. Post update

    Southern Brave wicketkeeper Rhianna Southby, who took took two catches and two stumpings, is named Match Hero.

    We will hear what she has to say about her performance very shortly.

  6. Post update

    It got a bit scrappy towards the end but Southern Brave were deserved winners.

    Danni Wyatt's 20 from 18 balls, scored exclusively via boundaries, set the platform. Maia Bouchier's 31 from 28 balls then edged Brave towards victory, with a flurry of late wickets not enough for Superchargers.

  7. Brave win by five wickets

    That'll do it!

    A short delivery by Alice Davidson-Richards is top-edged by Chloe Tryon and the ball flies away for four to complete a comfortable victory for Brave.

  8. Brave 97-5

    Jemimah Rodrigues conceded 18 runs from her 10 balls, which perhaps explains why she does not ball too often.

    Brave need just four runs from 15 balls.

  9. Brave 92-5

    Target 101

    That will ease some Brave nerves.

    Jemimah Rodrigues returns and bowls too short, with Chloe Tryon cutting away for a welcome four.

  10. WICKET

    Kemp b Wareham 2 (Brave 88-5)

    Hello?! Brave are wobbling here.

    Freya Kemp plays all around a full Georgia Wareham delivery and the ball clatters into her stumps.

    Brave have lost four wickets for 12 runs.

  11. Brave 87-5

    Target 101

    Great effort from Linsey Smith. She took two wickets for just 11 runs from her 20 balls.

    Brave need 14 runs to win. Is there a twist in the tail?

  12. WICKET

    Bouchier c&b Smith 31 ( Brave 87-4)

    Another goes! Maia Bouchier has played well but that is a soft dismissal, smacking a full toss straight back to Linsey Smith for a sharp catch.

  13. WICKET

    Adams c Smith b Wareham 6 (Brave 85-3)

    Georgia Adams holes out!

    Adams clubs a half-volley into the leg side but perfectly picks out Linsey Smith on the boundary.

    Brave are stumbling towards the finish line a bit.

  14. Brave 82-2

    Brilliant shot from Maia Bouchier as she plays a cut shot that perfectly dissects two fielders and races away for four.

    Bouchier has raced on to 30 from 22 balls.

  15. WICKET

    Mandhana c Wareham b Smith 19 (Brave 76-2)

    Smriti Mandhana goes! The Brave opener goes for a huge heave into the leg-side but it does not have quite enough carry and Georgia Wareham runs in from the rope to take a smart catch on the slide.

    Too little, too late for Superchargers?

  16. Brave 71-1

    Well, that's the last thing Superchargers needed.

    A bouncer from Kate Cross leaps up off the surface, goes over the wicketkeeper's head and fizzes away for four byes.

    It was also a no-ball as well so two more runs are added to the score plus a free hit, which only yields a single.

  17. Post update

    Superchargers call a strategic timeout to try and halt Brave's momentum. They need wickets and fast.

    Kate Cross will return for the next set.

  18. Brave 64-1

    Target 101

    It is the first six of the innings!

    It is two short from Alice Davidson-Richards and Maia Bouchier makes no mistake, powering the ball over the rope.

  19. Brave 58-1

    Brave edging ever closer as Maia Bouchier clubs a Alice Davidson-Richards delivery down the ground for four. Two balls later another huge heave from Bouchier reaches the rope.

    Just 43 needed. This is not going to last much longer.

  20. Brave 47-1

    That's a really classy shot from Smriti Mandhana as she expertly guides a cut shot fine for four. Perfect timing and technique.

    The win predictor currently has Brave at 88%.
