Southern Brave beat London Spirit in low-scoring Hundred match at Lord's

Jofra Archer took season-best figures of 4-9 as Southern Brave beat London Spirit in a low-scoring encounter at Lord's.

The England fast bowler took three wickets in his final set as Spirit were bowled out for 105 inside 92 balls.

Spirit reached 44-1 after being put into bat, with opener Jonny Bairstow, who hit 56 from 43 balls, alongside James Rew, whose 11 was the home side's joint second-highest score.

A first furry of wickets left them 68-5, with Rew, bowled by Adil Rashid, and Dewald Brevis (1), caught by Chris Jordan off Archer, among those to return to the dug-out.

Bairstow added 35 for the sixth wicket with Jamie Overton (10) before his dismissal, again caught by Jordan off Archer, sparked an innings-ending collapse, with Spirit losing their final five wickets for two runs in seven balls.

Archer removed David Willey and Andrew Tye with his last two balls, before Marcus Stoinis (3-17) had Overton and Adam Zampa caught from the following two deliveries to wrap up the innings.

Brave's Jamie Smith hit 36 from 22 balls, but saw his opening partner Ben McKinney bowled by Willey for a golden duck.

Smith's own dismissal, trapped lbw by James Coles, began a Brave wobble, with the visitors losing three wickets for five runs to slip to 60-5, still needing 46 from 48 balls.

David Miller calmed Brave's nerves, hitting an unbeaten 39 from 28 balls and finishing the match with an unbroken partnership of 51 with fellow South African Tristan Stubbs (12 not out).

The veteran Miller struggled with a hand injury during the latter part of his innings, but was able to hit Liam Livingstone for six to level the scores and then cleared the boundary again four balls later to finish the match.

The win sees Brave move up three places to fourth, one of four teams on eight points, while Spirit drop one place to seventh with one win from four games.
