9.26pm So, that wraps up the group stages. We have a day off tomorrow, then it's all about the Eliminators at the Kia Oval on Saturday. Northern Superchargers versus Trent Rockets in the men's competition; London Spirit versus Northern Superchargers in the women's. Oval Invincibles and Southern Brave respectively await in the final at Lord's on Sunday. We'll see you soon for all that!

9.21pm Well, that was fun! When Craig Overton was creating catches in the covers for fun, this looked deeply one-sided. But Tom Kohler-Cadmore outmatched Jason Roy's super knock with a hard-hitting 84 from 46, in partnership with Ben Kellaway. But in the end, Jordan Thompson and Tymal Mills closed it out in style, with Thompson's yorkers simply superb.

Fire duly finish at the foot of the table once again, in men's and women's competitions. Brave end a misfiring campaign with a morale-boosting win, and a fourth-place finish.

Craig Overton is the Meerkat Match Hero: "Great to get over the line. We've been bit-part in this comp, not quite whole performances. It was doing the basics as simple as possible, up top it swung a bit, then slower balls to the longer side. Nail your skill. The fans are awesome here, turn out in numbers, nice to repay the faith."

Thompson to Green, 1 run, yorker! Nailed it! Hacked out of the full length, his foot is behind the line, Green can only cloth his drive to mid-on! Brave win a thriller and Fire are extinguished for another year!

Green, relatively the set batter, is on strike... he is known for boshing a long ball ...

19.4
1
Thompson to Zaib, 1 run, wide slower yorker, patted out to cover and Zaib rushes the single.... six or bust it is!

RIght, a brains-trust meeting for Brave... plenty at stake here despite the qualification race being done

A tremendous knock, but Fire need an instant impact from Saif Zaib now

Thompson to Kohler-Cadmore, OUT, pace off, dragged on! What a response from Thompson! He was making a mess of it in those first few balls, but out comes the back-of-the-hander, perfect length, outside off, demanding aggression from TKC, but his flatfooted swing demolishes his own stumps!

Thompson to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, full toss, honked over the ropes at long-off! Thompson loses his length for a split-second and gets punished! A mighty thrash over the boundary!

Thompson to Kohler-Cadmore, 2 runs, free hit... length ball, pace off, no yorker this time, cuffed away to deep midwicket, and it's two more to the total. Four off one ball effectively

Thompson to Green, (no ball) 1 run, fires in the inevitable yorker, pace on, cracked out to cover ... but he's overstepped! Oh my...

So... it's going to be a diet of yorkers.... How does Green combat that? Short third and short backward square in place
