MI London secured a dramatic last-ball victory over Southern Brave in The Hundred at the Utilita Bowl. Chasing 130, Will Jacks anchored the innings with his first half-century of the tournament, scoring 54 off 41 balls including three fours and two sixes.

MI appeared comfortable at 93-3 before collapsing to lose four wickets for 34 runs. Marcus Stoinis (3-17) turned the match with a double-wicket over removing James Vince and Nicholas Pooran, then dismissing Jacks with a toe-crushing yorker. Sherfane Rutherford's 21 off 12 revived MI's hopes before a chaotic finale saw three run-outs and a wicket in the final over.

With two runs needed off the last ball, Ollie Pope slashed through point for the winning runs. Earlier, Jamie Smith blasted 49 off 26 balls with six fours and two sixes to lift Brave to 129-9. Trent Boult led MI's attack with 2-15, supported by Tom Curran, Sam Curran and Richard Gleeson (two wickets each).

MI London move to third on eight points, level with leaders Manchester Super Giants and Welsh Fire. Southern Brave remain second-bottom after three straight defeats.
