Brave win by taking a run off a wide ball. They've got on the board. Bowled on a length but going down leg. Jordan was looking to paddle it fine, can't connect. Dawson hares down the pitch and Jordan responds, though a mite late. He's quick enough to make it to the other end. One wide and one run, and Brave have won.

Full commentary
Two brilliant Southern Brave run chases today, in their first home games. Anyone else exhausted?! And to think, eight games in the space of 36 hours starting at 11am tomorrow... Thanks for joining us, and be sure to check out Alan Gardner's report shortly.
Chris Jordan is speaking to Sky: "Good to get our first win on the board. It was just good to get the first one out the way. You have to pride yourself on getting the job done for the team in those situations. You put in the hard work every day for those types of moments. [Pitch?] We thought with the way we bowled, we let them have 10-15 runs too many. Once the rate gets up to 12s, 13s you remain as calm as possible. [Fielders/over-rate penalties?] It's a good addition to the game. We couldn't get the wickets in the middle and that's where we lost our time, when Livi and Hammond were putting together a big partnership and we were making plans. [Vince?] He's a class player, you see that day in, day out, in all formats. He's going from strength to strength. Long may that continue."
James Vince is the Match Hero. "We are relieved," he says. "Got fairly tight but credit to CJ at the back end. [Own form] It probably gives me a bit more confidence in my own game. First time on a hybrid, the ball came on and suited my game. Delighted to make a contribution. Mahela has done a lot of the speaking and made it clear we were nearly there. Jordan held his nerve well, he's a man you want in that situation. Nice to be home, thought the support was outstanding. We had our first two on the road so to get here in front of a packed house was awesome."
Neil Adam: "Crucial drops, overthrows ... Phoenix have lost this in the fielding, as much as anything else."
9.29pm: Thrilling win for Brave. The match looked like it was slipping away from them. Adam Milne was outstanding, 3 for 15 in 20 balls. Could have been less if that wide hadn't been given, but maybe Brave deserve that luck. Don't forget James Vince's super innings. Kept his team in the hunt while no one around him was able to do much.

Helm to Jordan, 2 runs
dropped at deep midwicket. It's Howell, who has been good in the field. Banged in short again, Jordan goes for the glory shot, trying to hit six to win, the ball hasn't got the legs on it and Howell is in position to catch it, gets it into his hands and shells it.
4 needed off 4 now.

Helm to Jordan, 1 wide
pressure telling on Helm, he bowls this well down legside. Wide.

Helm to Jordan, FOUR runs
one-bounce four to square leg. That was very close to being a six. Short ball and Jordan swivels to pull this hard, connects well. Pietersen points out that deep square leg would have been in place but can't because the extra fielder has to be in the circle.
We've got a pitch invader, so there's a slight hold up.
9 needed off the last 5. Helm to bowl. Jordan is still on strike. Razor's edge and all that. Plus only 4 fielders outside the circle.

low full toss on off, and he lashes that through extra cover. Great work from long-off, who runs to his left and tumbles to save the boundary. Howell the fielder.
Time up now so one fielder has to come inside the circle.

oh he'll have to re-bowl this too. He's overstepped for this.

Milne to Jordan, 1 wide
keeps this well wide of off stump. It's been called wide. Harsh call I think. That was a millimetre inside the tram line

Milne to Dawson, 1 run
moves well across his crease to try and flick it away, gets an inside edge onto pad that rolls to short third man
Dawson the new batsman. Milne has been irresistible today.

W
Milne to Whiteley, OUT
caught at long-on. Slower ball that catches the batsman off guard completely, he's expecting a thunderbolt and camped on the back foot. This is 66 mph full toss on the stumps, and he loses shape while trying to smack it straight. Ball swirls up for long-on to run in and take it.

Unlike before, Milne staying over the wicket to the left-hander.

Milne to Jordan, 1 leg bye
taling into the pads at high pace, Jordan misses the flick, it takes the pad to short fine leg. Awful lot of leg-byes off Milne today
Milne to bowl now. If he bowls it like his last five, Brave will be done and dusted.
Mohd Irshad: "What a comeback from Helm after that 1st five....two opposite sides in one game...and appreciation for Mo to have faith. "

finds the gap. Important boundary and well played by Jordan. Was anticipating a slower one, waited for it and cuts it past backward point

slower ball tailing into him, Jordan plays it well, turning it gently through midwicket. Hit softly enough to pick up two.

Helm to de Grandhomme, OUT
outside edge caught by Tahir at short third man. He's almost lifted off his feet by the effort of catching it. CdG threw the kitchen sink at this, got a thick outside edge that flew to Tahir, who held on.

Milne to Whiteley, 2 runs
fuller outside off, slower ball I think, he had to wait for it and ends up tamely pushing it to cover. They set off for a risky single, drawing a shy at the stumps that goes for an overthrow. That was slow. 72 mph.

length ball into him, at 90 mph, he looks to cart it over backward square leg, can't connect. The ball rolls off thigh pad into the legside

Milne to de Grandhomme, 1 leg bye
length ball seaming back into him,strikes him on the pads and Milne belts out an appeal. Not given, and they're not going to review. Probably going down leg. Ball rolls into the offside
Milne still bowling to team-mates. CdG is the new man in.
81
W
Milne to Conway, OUT
stumps shattered with an 89 mph ball. Milne got his Mumbai Indians team-mate. Now he gets his New Zealand team-mate. Full and fast and into Conway from around the wicket. He's too late on the steer while looking to give himself room, and loses his stumps
