Matt Carter finishes off a brilliant spell, he ends with figures of 2-15 from his 20 balls.
He also has size 13 feet apparently. That's the word from Joe Root on player mic, who has just asked him.

Brave 89-3
A boundary apiece from Freya Kemp and Georgia Adams has livened the crowd up, the atmosphere was getting a little quiet before then.
They need to get on with things though, with 42 runs still needed from the last 20 balls.

Moeen Ali knows quick runs are required and tries to heave the ball leg side.
He doesn't get all of it but Daniel Sams can't hold on as he dived forward to try and take it in the deep.

Excellent from Matt Carter to finish that 10-ball set.
Moeen Ali drilled the ball towards cover, it hung in the air but dropped just short of the fielder.
Chris Benjamin is the other batter out there with him now.
