Allen c Roy b T Curran 32 (Brave 57-2)
Very good catch. Finn Allen skies a length ball straight up. Jason Roy, at long-on, makes really good ground and juggles the grab. Just as Allen was getting going, he departs.

Much needed! Pace returns in the shape of Tom Curran and Finn Allen pulls for six.
Brave 46-1 (target 140)published at 55 balls left
This is like the middle overs of an ODI in Mumbai. Spin ruling supreme. There hasn't been a boundary since the 19th ball.
Brave 42-1 (target 140)published at 59 balls left
WinViz has the Brave at 56%. Not sure about that.
Brave 41-1 (target 140)published at 60 balls left
Zampa has bowled 10 balls and only gone for six runs. High class, despite those shades.
Brave 39-1 (target 140)published at 63 balls left
Finn Allen is having all sorts of problems against the spin. Can barely get it off the square.
Brave 38-1 (target 140)published at 65 balls left
Just feels like this is going to be close. Brave can't win it in this quiet period, but they can lose it.

After 30 balls Brave were behind where the Invincibles were.

Sowter is bowling in tandem with his fellow leggie Zampa. Boundaries hard to come by.
Brave 34-1 (target 140)published at 70 balls left
Zampa is wearing some awful shades. Little half-lens things. He looks like a baddie from The Matrix.
Brave 32-1 (target 140)published at 72 balls left
Very good start from Adam Zampa. One run from three balls. Allen has missed two of them.
Brave 31-1 (target 140)published at 75 balls left
James Vince is the new man. That's the end of the powerplay. Could be A LOT of spin for the foreseeable future.

Former India wicketkeeper on Test Match SpecialIt's a soft dismissal. A nothing shot from Conway, a half hearted push.
That's a huge, huge wicket from Tom Curran

Conway c Billings b T Curran 16 (Brave 29-1)
Gone! Tom Curran strikes. It was a pretty innocuous delivery, a off-cutter outside off stump. Devon Conway poked at it and ended up guiding to the gloves of Sam Billings.
Brave 29-0 (target 140)published at 79 balls left
Good to see Tom Curran bowling after his injury problems. A World Cup winner in 2019, but now a bit of a forgotten man from an England point of view.
Brave 28-0 (target 140)published at 81 balls left
Pulled for four this time. Sowter has conceded 10 off four. Tough for the leggie in the powerplay.
Brave 24-0 (target 140)published at 84 balls left
Fetch that, Nathan. Conway plonks Sowter's first ball over long-on for the first maximum.
Brave 18-0 (target 140)published at 85 balls left
Spin in the powerplay, Nathan Sowter. Sam Curran looks like he's struggling with his right shoulder.
Brave 18-0 (target 140)published at 86 balls left
Conway pulls on one leg, Brian Lara-style, for four. WinViz has got the Brave at 66%.
Brave 14-0 (target 140)published at 87 balls left
Allen charges. I'm not sure I'd be doing that to a delivery of 92mph. Clothed to mid-on for a single.
