Hammered through the leg side by George Garton!
He waited for the slower ball and smashed it for four.

Very good slower ball from Adam Milne to start his set.
Well, it would have been if he hadn't overstepped. No-ball, two runs to the total and a free hit...
Another slower ball that Leus du Plooy misses but it deceives Jamie Smith, too, bouncing off him for a bye.

A couple of beauties from Moeen Ali to finish his bowling for the evening but they beat the edge rather than find it.
Brave need 25 from 25 balls.

Brute strength from Leus du Plooy as he goes back and hammers the ball back past Moeen Ali for four.
Southern Brave are closing in now...

Swatted back down the ground by George Garton!
Excellent timing and the ball beats the fielder coming around from long off - four runs.

Dot ball to finish that lot of five from Moeen Ali but he is going to keep going and bowl out.
Brave need little more than a run-a-ball, it's their game to lose from here.

Moeen Ali is back into the attack but new batter George Garton is quickly about his work with a reverse-sweep for four!
Very nicely played.

Jofra Archer
England fast bowler on BBC TwoConway has been very nice not just staying in his crease there. He is a nice man.

Former England spinner on BBC TwoBit of a mix-up - not what the Brave need. Conway was doing it easily.

Conway run out (Richardson/ Sangha) 24 (Brave 77-3)
Huge mix-up and Devon Conway is gone.
The left-hander punches the ball into the covers, straight to Kane Richardson but Leus du Plooy just keeps running at him.
Conway could just stand his ground but instead goes for it. He has no chance.
Tanveer Sangha collects the throw and completes the run out.

Useful runs for the Brave as Devon Conway reverse sweeps the first ball of Liam Livingstone's set for four.
A couple of balls later he hits over the covers. There's no one out there and it's four more!
Make it three boundaries in the set. It's Leus du Plooy this time driving up over the off side.

Play that! Moeen Ali welcomes Leus du Plooy to the crease with a beauty that rips past the outside edge and only just misses off stump.
Just six runs from that 10-ball set from the Phoenix skipper.

Vince b Moeen 18 (Brave 60-2)
That has ragged from Moeen Ali and it's a huge wicket!
James Vince charges the off-spinner, tries to swipe the ball to leg but it turns sharply and through the gate to hit the stumps.
Phoenix needed that.

Moeen Ali is into the attack. the ball is still turning but the Brave don't need to take any risks in this situation.
They're happy to work singles before Devon Conway plays a delicate sweep shot that runs away fine for two to end the set.

Liam Livingtone is on player mic as he bowls this set and asks James Anderson and Jofra Archer what he should bowl.
"You're on your own mate," Jimmy tells him.
"You can spin one if you want," is Jofra's helpful remark!

It's back to his usual medium-pace variations for Benny Howell when James Vince is on strike.
He always mixes it up but he's taken it to a different level in those first five balls.

Benny Howell bowls all sorts of variations but it's usually seam up.
Well, he's bowling off-spin here and Devon Conway hits a gorgeous shot up and over extra cover for four.

Decent start from Tanveer Sangha with just four from his first five balls.
It shows that spin has got a huge part to play in this chase.
