Oh dear. Brave were bowled all out with about 3 or so balls to go. There was a good partnership between Danni Wyatt and someone else, but before and after that, the wickets came a-tumbling.


Let's hope the men can do a bit better

You're witnessing the James Vince show!
 
Excellent death bowling. As a result, we're probably 10 - 15 short of what we could have got. But it's still a solid score.

Yes, I witnessed something that I've heard about and thought only existed in myth: a good James Vince innings! Seriously in all the Hampshire and Southern games (and possibly England games?) I've seen, I don't think I've seen him get much higher than in the 30s.

Though as I can't see the scoreboard from my seat, not always easy to tell who's on strike.
 
This is the beauty of the 100. With 10 balls at each end, Duckett has found himself stuck at the wrong end, whilst wickets tumble (and dots are bowled) at the other.

Two runs we've conceded from the last 12 balls, I think.
 
This has been brilliant, totally brilliant, since Livingstone gave his wicket away.

Duckett has barely faced a ball.
 
Not sure taking that 3rd was wise. Surely Duckett needs to face almost every ball? Abbott can bat, but he's not Duckett.
 
WHY IS DUCKETT STILL GIVING UP THE STRIKE?!

Yes I want Brave to win. But this is infuriatingly bad thinking from Duckett.
 
In case anyone interested, they announced the attendance was around 12k for the women's game. Missed the announcement for the men but I think it was about 18k. Nice that the women's attendance wasn't that much smaller than the men's
 
After being 20-2 in 3.5 overs Somerset rallied to finish on an excellent 316-5 at Taunton against Derbyshire. A great team effort.
 
Great stuff from Felix (and well done to Kelly).

I don't have much confidence that 222 is defendable, but it's far higher than what we were facing at 117-6.
