4.10pm: You'd think Brave will be pretty happy with that. But then again, runs on the board in a final... Invincibles defended fewer yesterday, albeit against a less-formidable batting line-up. Here are the thoughts of Lauren Bell at halfway: [Conditions?] "It's hard but I'm glad we got 100 balls in and hopefully we can get the second innings in and it will be a great game. [Slower balls] Pace off has worked throughout, so that was one of my plans before the game, conditions helped that. [Occasion] Amazing to be able to play at the best ground in the world in front of this crowd, a great experience. Lots of nerves, but a lot of excitement, Lottie and Anya telling us to enjoy the day. [Batters in form] Dunks has been great, Danni starts the innings off well, full confidence in the batters finishing the job for us." It's all set up for a doozy of a chase, so long as the rain steers clear - over to Peter Della Penna

Shrubsole to Villiers, OUT, holes out to long-on! Villiers skips out and chips down the ground but it hasn't got the legs, Bouchier pouches the ball safely running in. Decent cameo from Villiers, but have they got enough?
