9.10pm: By 'ecky thump, they liked that at 'Eadingley! First win of the season, and breaking a run of six defeats for the Purple Popchips. Brave always looked a bit underpowered in posting 146 for 8 but Nicholas Pooran and, subsequently, Harry Brook made clear exactly how much short they were. Their efforts mean Andrew Flintoff is also on the board as a coach
Nicholas Pooran is the Match Hero: "The guys played brilliantly, the bowlers were fantastic. We felt we needed to get a good start. Looked at their bowlers, got our plans and then tried to finish it off. It's always beautiful to play here in England."
And here's the captain, Harry Brook: [Pooran?] "He's awesome to watch. Happy to be sat in the dugout watching him. Thinking about the reward rather than the risk, fearless cricket. [Flintoff] Absolute legend, awesome to work with. Pretty chilled, we want to keep it individual, don't need many meetings. He's got such an aura when he talks. [Captaincy] It's good, all very quick. Bit hectic at times but felt I made the right decisions at the right times. Something I want to work at. We'll have chats, analysis and talk through that stuff, but about trying to make right calls. [Stokes] Be interesting captaining him if he does play! We'll welcome him with open arms."
And with that, we're done for the night. Join us again tomorrow, when the caravan heads to Nottingham for the first time. Cheerio!
Rehan again, 12 needed off 20
