Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Andrew Miller

9.25pm Well, that was epic. An absolute bosh-fest at the Kia Oval. From myself and Alan, and Ranjith on drums, good night, and see you tomorrow for Brave versus Superchargers in the women's final, and Originals versus Invincibles in the men's.

Dezz: "Any stats on what percentage of sixes in this years comp have been hit at at the Oval? Feels like a lot." You're right, it is a lot... 87 out of 345, or 25.22%

Brave are only the fifth team to lose a men's T20 despite batting through their overs losing one or no wickets.

Jos Buttler is the match hero. "Fantastic. At the halfway stage it was a tough fielding innings, but Salt was amazing to get us ahead of the game, and we continued the momentum. A bit disappointed to be set a big score, but parked that and got ready to bat. Hard to stop us. Can't wait to play in the final, competition going from strength to strength, we'll rest up and go to Lord's."

Craig: "The Hundred brings an extraordinary intensity to run chases- credit to it. Buttler's Originals just delivered the best chase in Hundred history!"

9.19pm Well, cripes. 397 runs in 196 balls, and just four wickets in the entire contest! Southern Brave couldn't have expected such a crushing loss after posting their highest Hundred total. But Overton seals it with the 23rd six of the evening, and Originals' 13th!

Utterly masterful chase, with Phil Salt's ballistic 47 from 17 setting the tone before Buttler bossed the tempo with 82 from 46. Holden played a key cameo before Evans and Overton mopped it up. No respite in the bowling figures, though Mills did his best with 1 for 27

Jordan to Overton, SIX, round the wicket, slammed through the full length, over long-off! Originals have demolished their run-chase with a 200 total!

END OF OVER:
19 | 10 Runs | MO-M: 195/3 (2 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 10.26, RRR: 2.00)

  • Laurie Evans22 (13b)
  • Jamie Overton1 (2b)
  • Tymal Mills3.5-0-27-1
  • Chris Jordan2.5-0-37-1

Brave need snookers now. Jordan has five balls to pull something extraordinary out of the fire

1
Mills to Evans, 1 run, rocks back for the cut as Mills follows him. Rehan swoops well to intercept, but another single

Long-off comes inside the circle

18.4
2
Mills to Evans, 2 runs, pace off again, back of a length, fumbled at long-on by Jordan of all people! Overton's alert, and Brave have missed the cut-off too
18.3
0
Mills to Evans, no run, pace back on, fuller length, jabbed to short third where Allen snaffles well
18.2
6
Mills to Evans, SIX, pace off, and is that the game?! The newer ball skidded into the middle of the bat as Evans made room to leg and slammed a dismissive drill over deep cover

Looks like another ball-change. Useful time to get a drier ball to grip those variations

Dezz: "Surrey boys at the crease, on their home turf..." Valid... they've seen nights like this in the Blast often enough

18.1
1lb
Mills to Overton, 1 leg bye, attempts the pre-emptive ramp, hopping to the off-side to meet the slower ball. Can't connect well, but it's a single

12 from ten, and back comes Mills for the most crucial set of his campaign. Two minutes until the cut-off
