Blimey! Tanveer Sangha gets plenty out of it first ball!
He turns it square away from James Vince. Too far, in fact. It's called wide.
Need 85 more
Powerplay over and Brave will be happy enough with how it's gone given the low total they're chasing.
Still we're about to see some spin from Tanveer Sangha. Let's see what he can get out of this pitch...

Four more for James Vince. He picks up on the short ball quickly and pulls it away behind square.
It's been a confident start from the Brave skipper.

James Vince gets off the mark with a boundary, flicking the ball off his pads for four.
Lovely shot.

It was the right ball to play that shot to, but he just cramped himself for room.
Allen c Smith b Richardson 22 (Brave 24-1)
Attempted ramp from Finn Alenn but straight into the gloves of Jamie Smith.
That's the wicket that Phoenix wanted and Kane Richardson gets in.
The ball was there for the shot but Allen just didn't get enough of it as he lost his balance.

Devon Conway does finally get to face a ball, two of them in fact, but is yet to get off the mark.
With Finn Allen going so well, the left-hander just has a look at those Chris Woakes deliveries.
Need 98 more
Devon Conway hasn't faced a ball yet but it doesn't matter because Finn Allen seems happy to do it all himself.
Banged in short by Chris Woakes but Allen flat-bats it back over his head for four.
And again! Fuller this time, a slower ball but Allen waited for it. Clean connection, one bounce for four.

A wide and a single end Adam Milne's set.
He'll be glad to get out of that set after been dispatched by his fellow New Zealander Finn Allen a couple of balls earlier.
Target 120
That is enormous from Finn Allen!
He stands up tall and deposits Adam Milne high over long on for six. That was a really big hit!
Target 120
Finn Allen has seen enough. Four dot balls before he comes skipping down to Chris Woakes and slaps the ball over extra cover for four!
Very steady start from Chris Woakes. Three dot balls to Finn Allen to begin the innings.
Here we go then. The players are back out for the start of the Brave chase.
Chris Woakes will bowl the first five balls for the Phoenix, who have 119 to defend.

This target is by no means straightforward. Brave will have to really scrap to get these runs.
Thanks, Ffion.
We've not seen all boundaries we're used to seeing in The Hundred but often it is the low-scoring games that provide the greatest drama.
Southern Brave will hope to avoid that tonight but this won't be an easy chase.
So as Southern Brave get ready to start their chase, it's time for me to hand over to Sam Drury to take you through it.
Job half done for Southern Brave, then.
It proved in that innings, and throughout the women's game earlier, that batting is not easy on this pitch.
And Birmingham Phoenix have also got quality spin options as well as Benny Howell, who is an expert at bowling his tricky variations in conditions like this.
Southern Brave all-rounder Colin Ackermann on BBC Two: "It was a lot of fun out there with a good atmosphere.
"I think they've got a par score on the board, it's starting to turn a bit but hopefully it starts to skid on a bit.
"It's always nice to see the back of Moeen Ali ,we know how dangerous he can be so that was a nice wicket.
"I just tried to turn it as much as possible and keep the stumps in play as well."
It was a fine all-round bowling performance from Southern Brave.
Three wickets for Tymal Mills, and three for the very impressive Rehan Ahmed.
