Spirit vs Brave, 10th Match at Southampton, Men's Hundred, Aug 12 2022 - Match Result

That's all folks. Thanks for tuning in throughout the afternoon and we'll be back for some double-double-header action over the weekend. Cheers!

James Vince is next up. "Ross played really well. 148 was probably about par. I thought we bowled reasonably well, kept Polly quiet which is a tough ask. Lost myself and Quinny early and the guys at the back end gave us a bit of hope but we couldn't quite get over the line. [Own dismissal?] I was surprised I got bowled by an offspinner on the outside. Rosso said he wasn't sure, but I was just surprised. Not the ideal start. Through injuries, our bowling line-up has changed a little bit. Hoges took over Tymal's role. The core of the group is similar. It's just about trying to get the team together. [Rattled?] There's plenty of experience with the bat so I don't think it's that. Quinny hasn't quite got going but in this format, that can happen. [Injuries - Mills?] Tymal had surgery today on his toe and Craig Overton, we lost him to the Lions. He was due to be back with us on Sunday but he's picked up an injury today. CJ had a knock on the finger... we'll see how the troops are tomorrow. We're in the same position as last year. It's pretty much must-win games."

Eoin Morgan is with Sky. "Really proud. We got an under-par score, by a long way. Daniel Bell-Drummond played outstandingly well, built good partnerships. Our bowlers were absolutely outstanding. It's about winning, and that's where experience comes in. Our spinners bowled well, our seamers fought really hard - potentially I got the toss wrong, but you make it work. [Bat first?] Chasing for us last year was an absolute disaster. We needed to change something. We've recruited really well and we want something to call our strength. It's been our batting but it's great to see our bowling show up for all 100 balls. [Hampshire boys?] They push the boundaries out here, they play on used wickets and take pace off. They've been really busy, setting targets or chasing them down. [Bayliss?] We get on like a house on fire. We don't really do small talk. We love golf, we don't like meetings. When we're away from the ground, we try and switch off. [Commentary vs playing?] I've loved every bit of it. It's a different time in my career and my life but I'm very chilled. It's a fantastic tournament and it's great to see the girls back. It's a great celebration of cricket. [3 from 3] We're going to ride this for as long as we can. Confidence is hard to come by. Hopefully it takes us to where we want to be."

Daniel Bell-Drummond is the Match Hero. "It was good to get a game. I enjoyed my debut. Once I got going, I felt good out there. It was a little bit two-paced and cutters were gripping. It was a little difficult to start. They bowled well at me at the start but I was able to get myself in. It's early days but it's a great start, three from three. Really happy with the win."

9.23pm: Spirit go three from three and Brave are hanging by a thread! That's their first-ever home defeat in the Hundred - men's or women's - and they can hardly afford to lose another game in the competition after back-to-back defeats in the past couple of days. Spirit only managed one win in the whole of last season, but have a 100% record after three games this year, with three bat-first wins. Brave kept scrapping through Davies and Whiteley but were always struggling after losing Vince and de Kock for two runs between them.

Alan: "Wily old experience of Morgan, brilliant!"

Game, set and match. 11 required off 1 ball. Thompson just needs to keep his foot behind the line.

Rehan Ahmed, make yourself a hero.

Still a seriously tough ask. 12 off 3. What's Fuller got in the locker?

14 off 4. Morgan tweaks the field. Another boundary will make things tense.

Superb from Ellis. Brave need 19 off the last 5 balls

31 off 12. Probably means five boundaries.

Whiteley has damaged his bat. Looks like there's a split in the toe, so he calls on a replacement. Nope, he reckons he can get away with just some tape.

9.16pm local time is the cut-off. So Spirit should be fine. Thompson returns.
