- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Jacks misses a full toss! Mills roars in celebration, although he's got away with that one. The ball hit the top of middle, but without any assistance from the pitch! Jacks, stepping away to leg, swung hard without success and walks off looking nonplussed 47/26.1 banged in, Malan holes out on the pull! Brave get the breakthrough, although it is probably not the man they wanted. Didn't really get hold of the shot and it needed an excellent running catch from that man Evans running across from deep midwicket 44/113.2 fired across the bows, spooned to cover! Curran had been looking silky smooth but that was a bit of a hack and the ball loops up tamely for Archer to claim well inside the ring. Hosein makes the breakthrough after a solid stand 93/315.1 short ball, top-edged up the chimney! Davies has to jog a little way over towards short fine leg but bags it safely on the way down - Cox departs and Invincibles have now lost four wickets in 10 balls! 102/613.3 bowled him first ball! Quick and straightening down the line of off, Billings whips across the line but plays all round it and heads straight back from where he came. Hosein's double gets Brave bubbling 93/414.4 slogged but without the distance, Pollard holds on! Ferreira can wield the long handle but didn't get this anywhere near the middle of the bat, in the end it was a comfortable catch a good way in from long-on. Hosein has a third and Invincibles are looking, well, vincible 101/517.5 bounced out, well held in the deep! Archer gets his revenge, though it needed a superb diving catch from James Coles to complete the dismissal. Curran's handy cameo comes to an abrupt end via a head-hunting short ball 136/718.5 pace off, flubbed to mid-off! Mills gets another, this time with a well-disguised slowie. Lammonby is through his shot and picks out Jordan. Brave two wickets away from ending this innings early 144/819.5 bowled off his pads, Jordan finishes by lighting up the zing bails one last time. Sowter stepped outside leg, Jordan followed him, and the ricochet cannoned into the stumps. Just three conceded from the set 147/9Extras6 (b 2, lb 1, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL147/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35 per 6 ball)Did not bat: S MahmoodFall of wickets: 1-44 (Dawid Malan, 6.1 ov), 2-47 (Will Jacks, 7.2 ov), 3-93 (Sam Curran, 13.2 ov), 4-93 (Sam Billings, 13.3 ov), 5-101 (Donovan Ferreira, 14.4 ov), 6-102 (Jordan Cox, 15.1 ov), 7-136 (Tom Curran, 17.5 ov), 8-144 (Tom Lammonby, 18.5 ov), 9-147 (Nathan Sowter, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 through him this time! Zampa slides it on, down the slope, tight initial line and turning inexorably to thud into middle. Davies looks his shape on a yank to leg. Stumps wrecked! 58/19.3 pings back the off stump! Vince lined up the slog sweep but made a meal of it! Jacks held his off-stump line, a hint of turn back into the timbers, Brave's skipper was through his shot too soon, that's a massive breakthrough! 61/214.2 makes room to leg, Mahmood takes out leg! Super bowling, holding his line and his nerve, as Du Plooy was suckered by the change from round to over the wicket. Too much room as Mahmood took route one, and made the breakthrough! 99/410.3 holes out to deep midwicket! Coles planted the front foot, launched for the hills but didn't get proper hold of it, Jacks inside the rope deepens Brave's gloom 66/315.3 punched in the air, straight at short cover! What a sensational set for Mahmood! Three in seven, this was just a touch back of a length, but straight as a die. Evans was committed to the lofted drive, and you could hear his groan on the stump mic before the ball had even reached its destination! 100/615.1 nailed by the inducker! Due reward for a formidable spell from Mahmood, it was a tight initial line, very full length, zipping down the slope and despite the review, Pollard is pinned in from for a four-ball duck! Not sure he laid a bat on any of those! 99/516.2 clean through him! Wicket to wicket, full length, no idea which way it was turning. This one just runs down the hill, into the middle stump and that is surely the game now 102/7Extras2 (lb 2)TOTAL130/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Alex Davies, 8.3 ov), 2-61 (James Vince, 9.3 ov), 3-66 (James Coles, 10.3 ov), 4-99 (Leus du Plooy, 14.2 ov), 5-99 (Kieron Pollard, 15.1 ov), 6-100 (Laurie Evans, 15.3 ov), 7-102 (Chris Jordan, 16.2 ov)
