4.55pm: Loud cheers around Utilita Bowl as the hosts complete a men's and women's double. Phoenix never looked like they had enough on the board and Brave's batters soon realised they could improve their run rate along with taking the points. Vince and du Plooy did the bulk of the work, but much of the credit should go to the bowling attack for limiting Birmingham to 106 for 7 in the first place. Brave go level with Oval Invincibles at the top of the standings with two wins from two

Michael Bracewell is the Match Hero: "[Two from two] More of a complete performance. Played some great cricket, nice to get another win. Spoke as a spin group about how to bowl. Big boundaries here which is nice. [Hundred] It's fantastic, the crowds are amazing. The cricket has a long history here in England so great to be here. [Weather] Not what I was expecting, certainly take it. It's a beautiful day and happy with the result."

Right, that's a wrap from the south coast, thanks for joining us. There's always time for more, more, more in the Hundred, though - so head on up to Nottingham for the evening men's game between Trent Rockets and Northern Superchargers. Bye!

Southee to du Plooy, FOUR, short ball, walloped through midwicket - Brave win by nine wickets! They'll take a decent NRR boost into the bargain

Southee for the last hurrah
