Brave vs Phoenix, 13th Match at Birmingham, Men's Hundred, Aug 03 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

thigh-high full toss, plinked down to long-off... Brave have it, winning by 32

half-volley, clears the front leg and throws the bat hard but Vince does superbly well, making a low diving stop at mid-off

swept to deep fine leg, Mills makes no mistake on the rope! Jumps across his stumps, looking to flick it away, but not a good enough connection this time. Duckett trudges off to a decent reception but got completely stuck at the non-striker's end during that collapse

shimmies outside leg stump, Jordan tucks him up with a back-of-a-length slower ball. Pulled into the leg side, Duckett races back for two and Jordan fumbles the run-out chance at the bowler's end

yorker, backs away to give himself room and squeezes it away through the covers

bottom-edged through to the keeper, Duckett scampers through

picks out Pollard! Slogs across the line, as much elevation as distance, and Pollard ambles around from long-on to take a simple catch

89mph, flicked down to fine leg via the pad

high full toss, dipping just enough to avoid a no-ball call. Punched to mid-off

slower ball, smoked down the ground for four! Abbott finally connects with one. Back-of-the-hander, sits up nicely, and Abbott waits long enough for it

nails the yorker, 89mph, dug out down to long-on via the toe

slapped hard out to deep point

a rare boundary, the first since the 57th ball! Duckett shapes to scoop, Archer follows him with a knee-high full toss, but he shovels it away fine

jumps outside leg stump, looking to carve him over cover. Bottom-edge skews away towards fine leg

86mph yorker, swung down to long-on

low full toss, toe-ended back to the bowler. 88mph

yorker at the toes, chipped down to long-on

in the slot, swung out to deep midwicket

half-volley outside off, crunched to Coles at deep cover

superb from that man Vince on the rope! Full and wide, angled away from Duckett's arc. Lofted with no timing over mid-off, but Vince raced back and flung himself forwards, flicking the ball back as he went. Saves a run, but also gets Duckett off strike
