Oval Invincibles still have 30 balls to launch with Marizanne Kapp and Amanda-Jade Wellington.
I know Wellington well, she will not want to hang around too long.
Invincibles 72-4published at 70 balls
Charlie Dean has 1-5 from her first 15 balls. Talk about economical!
Strategic timeout taken. It's the batting side who need to figure out a plan because, as it stands, they look like ending up well short of a par total.

A wicket and just a pair of singles from it.
Amanda-Jade Wellington is the new batter for the Invincibles.

They are not easy when the batter is playing different shots.
You can always gauge if it is a wicket when the next batter is already stepping over the rope.

Winfield-Hill c Coppack b Glenn 3 (Invincibles 70-4)
It is a brilliant catch from the debutant!
Lauren Winfield-Hill goes for the reverse off Sarah Glenn, the ball is a tad shorter than she expects so she has to adjust but can only send it towards backward point.
Kate Coppack takes it very low down with the ball dipping late but she gets her fingers under the ball and clings on.
Umpire reviewpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 25 August
It looks like a brilliant catch from Kate Coppack at backward point but the umpires send it upstairs.
Lauren Winfield-Hill holds her breath...

CricViz analystSarah Glenn has been guilty of pitching it too short this season. In the previous two seasons, she took 24 wickets at an average of 14.2. This season, she has been averaging 53 for her three wickets.
Her average length has gone shorter by almost one metre this season compared to the previous two. Batters have played her on the back foot 59% of the time this season, which was only 36% in the previous two seasons.

Captain Lauren Winfield-Hill is the new batter for Oval Invincibles.
She takes a couple of singles from her first two balls but it's another fabulous set from Eva Gray.
The Spirit seamer has 1-8 after 15 balls.

Welsh Fire all-rounder on BBC 5 Sports ExtraEva Gray has been bowling really nicely. She has been stump to stump and keeping it in play. It is an impressive catch from Danielle Gibson. The sun in her eyes, to take a high catch like that can be very difficult.

Capsey c Gibson b Gray 11 (Invincibles 65-3)
Heaved out to deep mid-wicket.
Alice Capsey wanted to keep the momentum going but Eva Gray has been excellent today and has a well-deserved wicket.
Capsey aims the shot over the leg side but there is no timing whatsoever and Danielle Gibson comes in a good few yards off the rope at deep mid-wicket to take the catch.

Image source, Getty ImagesGood set for Invincibles, nine from it to get them going again.
It looks a great day for batting at The Oval, the sun is shining, barely a cloud in the sky and the pitch seems a decent one, too, so a big score might be required.

Welsh Fire all-rounder on BBC 5 Sports ExtraA very impressive shot by Alice Capsey. That is what Paige Scholfield was trying to do...
Alice Capsey was able to get to the pitch of the ball and hit it beautifully over the bowler's head.
Invincibles 63-2published at 52 balls
Top shot!
Great use of the feet from Alice Capsey, down the track to Charli Knott and smashing the ball straight back over the bowler's head for six.
Superb timing from the England right-hander.

Former England fast bowler on BBC 5 Sports ExtraKate Coppack like a speed bump stopping it going to the boundary.
Invincibles 56-2published at 50 balls
Lovely shot.
Fired through a bit quicker by Sarah Glenn but it's slightly too wide and Marizanne Kapp uses the pace to guide the ball backward of point for four.
A misfield next ball allows Kapp a single but it's better from Kate Coppack a couple of deliveries later.
Halfway through the innings and Spirit will be the happier side.

Very good first five from Charli Knott and it'll be more spin next up with Sarah Glenn returning.
Marizanne Kapp is the new batter for Invincibles.

A big wicket for the Spirit and they have knocked over both openers now!
WICKETpublished at 44 balls
Scholfield st Redmayne b Knott 22 (Invincibles 46-2)
Image source, Getty ImagesTwo quick wickets for Spirit!
An ugly shot from Paige Scolfield in the end but that's down to some clever bowling from Charli Knott.
The off-spinner sees Scholfield advancing, holds the ball back a bit, takes the pace off and the batter ends up having to have a wild hack across the line.
She misses by a mile and it's a simple stumping for Georgia Redmayne.
