The Hundred: Mitchell Marsh and Dan Lawrence set SunRisers Leeds on course for five-run win over Southern Brave

Mitchell Marsh and Dan Lawrence struck brutal half-centuries as SunRisers Leeds overcame Southern Brave in a tight encounter at Headingley to register their first win of the competition.

Opener Marsh smashed six sixes and four fours in a knock of 69 off 34 balls before Lawrence's unbeaten 51 from 25 balls took the hosts to 187-5.

Sunrisers captain Zak Crawley was dismissed for a golden duck as England spinner Adil Rashid claimed his third wicket of the afternoon after earlier removing Marsh and fellow opener Ryan Rickelton (37).

Harry Brook was then clean bowled for three by Marcus Stoinis before Lawrence's efforts and a rapid 21 from Tom Alsop helped the SunRisers finish strongly.

Ben McKinney led Brave's response with 44 from 23 deliveries, while fellow opener Jamie Smith hit 30 from 18 and Australian Stoinis plundered 31 from 16.

Tristan Stubbs kept the visitors in contention with an unbeaten 43 from 20 balls. But the home team held on for a first victory of this year's tournament, while Brave remain winless after two matches.
