9.15pm: Disappointment for the home crowd, that was a distinctly lukewarm performance from Fire. They couldn't shackle James Vince on a nibbly pitch, and the Brave skipper led his side to a healthy total. Wickets then fell regularly through the chase, Tymal Mills ending up with four of them to seal a comfortable win and underline their status as frontrunners

James Vince is Match Hero: "Nice to get the win. Batting first, found it tricky. The way we bowled, particularly up front, was fantastic. [Bowlers] We've dovetailed really well, Akeal and Craig with the new ball and then CJ and Tymal through the back end, they've done it so many times. [Archer comes back] Tricky to pick a side, depends on conditions. Nature of this competition, you can have good guys sitting on the bench."

Right, we've had our fun in Cardiff. Join us again tomorrow for another Hundred Whopper, with four games going on at Old Trafford and Edgbaston. Bye!

Mills to Haris Rauf, OUT, crashed straight up and down, that's it, Red Rover! Rauf throws the bat again and the ball comes down with snow on it for a diving catch at point. Brave win by 42 runs, a thumping result that takes them clear at the top of the standings

Looks like Brave are going to miss the cut-off. Not that it will matter, mind. Yep, only four men inside the ring now

Mills to Willey, OUT, slower ball, plonked into the hands of long-on! Willey's brief salvo comes to an end as he swipes Mills back down the ground but without any timing. Pollard sets himself for the skier after coming in off the rope, then poses for the home crowd behind him - who have perhaps been having a few words

DJ Willey c Pollard b Mills 21 (24m 14b 4x4 0x6) SR: 150.00

Ten balls to come, Mills for his final set

Jordan to Willey, 1 run, short and clubbed leg side, Overton can't get there! Decent effort from the big man, not sure he picked it up initially. Actually... the ball went straight through his hands. No wonder Jordan was frustrated!
