Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt's a shot of authority that from Maia Bouchier. The pressure built by McCarthy has been released a bit there.
Brave 13-0published at 10 balls
Maia Bouchier has done much of the heavy lifting for Brave with the bat this season, alongside Laura Wolvaardt, and you feel a good start for the opener could be crucial for her side's fortunes.
She appears to be in fine touch here with the second boundary of Kate Cross' set - a lovely four down the ground with some equally good footwork involved.

Brave 8-0published at 7 balls
And there we have the first maximum of the day.
And it is a big one at that off the bat of Lizelle Lee.
Brave 2-0published at 5 balls
Image source, Getty ImagesGreat start from Sunrisers Leeds and Cassidy McCarthy as she limits the Southern Brave openers to two runs from the first five balls.
Kate Cross takes the ball from her, hoping to continue to the good work.

Ffion Wynne
BBC Sport journalist at The OvalIt's a scorcher here in south London.
Last year, this is the game that provided one of, if not the defining story of The Hundred in its history when a teenage Davina Perrin struck a 42-ball hundred in Northern Superchargers' victory.
Let's hope that today's encounter produces something equally as memorable!
Brave 0-0published at 1 ball
And we are under way!
Cassidy McCarthy strikes the pad of Southern Brave opener Lizelle Lee with her first ball, but drifting down the leg side.

Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIf you come flying out the blocks like Southern Brave did, you feel as though you've cracked it. Then you have a couple of bad performances, that can affect your confidence at the important end of the tournament.
Whereas, with Sunrisers Leeds, yes they didn't come completely flying out the blocks but they've found their method and found their style and they look really good.
If I was a betting man, Sunrisers Leeds would be the favourites here.

Two former women's Hundred champions go head-to-head with a place in the final within touching distance.
The first ball is coming your way shortly from a sunny Oval as Southern Brave and Sunrisers Leeds battle for the right to face Trent Rockets in Sunday's final.

Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraWith the power of Sunrisers Leeds, if Southern Brave post 125 it's not going to be enough.
So I'd like to see Southern Brave, if they're going to go out, go out swinging.
