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!

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