    Liam Dawson's wicket ball was his second slowest delivery of the match at 50.3 mph and turned 5.0° to bowl Tewanda Muyeye - perhaps an extra spinner could be an option for future Spirit matches at Lord's?

  2. Invincibles 46-1published at 55 balls left

    35 runs needed

    Two runs from a no ball followed by a wide from Richard Gleeson take Invincibles past the half way point in their chase.

    Will Jacks then throws his hands at a wide full toss from the Spirit seamer, sending the ball to the boundary through third.

  3. Invincibles 37-1published at 60 balls left

    44 runs needed

    Liam Dawson continues with a further five deliveries as Spirit look to turn the screw a little.

    Only a single from this quintet of deliveries, but Invincibles can easily afford a few quiet sets with this low target.

    The ball has spun here over the years in the Hundred, at this time of the year especially when the wickets are a little bit tired. It also takes seam movement as well, but that can depend on the ball.

  5. Invincibles 36-1published at 65 balls left

    45 runs needed

    Jordan Cox comes in at number three for Invincibles and he and Will Jacks take a single each from the remainder of Dawson's second set.

    What an absolute ripper. Beautiful delivery. It just drifted into the arm, pitched middle stump and then turned down the hill. Completely foxed Muyeye.

    Liam Dawson strikes!

    The veteran spinner bowls Tawanda Muyeye, seeing his delivery grip in the pitch and beat the opener's defence.

    A hit on middle and off stumps, up fly the bails.

  8. Invincibles 34-0published at 70 balls left

    47 runs needed

    Spirit bring on the towering Richard Gleeson into the attack after the powerplay.

    The right-arm seamer sends down a bouncer to end his set and Will Jacks tries to duck out of the way, turning his face away from the ball.

    The bat of the Invincibles opener is sticking up though, the ball makes contact and Jacks has unwittingly managed to guide it over the keeper for four.

    You know the game is a bit stale when the Mexican wave comes out.

    BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team have been answering your The Hundred-related questions. Here is one about powerplay.

    The powerplay is given to each team at the start of their batting innings, lasting 25 balls.

    During the powerplay, two fielders are allowed outside of the fielding circle before each ball is bowled.

    It's not been a hugely exciting powerplay. We heard Keaton Jennings speak about how tricky this wicket is to play on, but not many boundaries on offer at all.

  12. Invincibles 27-0published at 75 balls left

    55 runs needed

    Consecutive twos for Will Jacks off Spirit's right-arm seamer Dan Worrall, before a single past point ends the powerplay.

    Invincibles haven't gone especially hard here, but then they don't need to...

  13. Invincibles 21-0published at 80 balls left

    60 runs needed

    Spinner Liam Dawson comes into the attack and restricts the Invincibles batters to a couple of singles in his first set.

    There was not a huge amount of swing on offer for Luke Wood. He was whacking it hard onto the pitch to get it onto seam.

    Invincibles have such a long batting line up though, there really is little hope.

  15. Invincibles 19-0published at 85 balls left

    62 runs needed

    Tawanda Muyeye adds four more, whipping Luke Wood through fine leg.

    The 24-year-old has played a peripheral role for Invincibles in the last two seasons, only featuring in five matches, but could be set for a big tournament.

    He upped his output at Kent in the T20 Blast this season, averaging 36.85.

  16. Invincibles 12-0published at 90 balls left

    69 runs needed

    Will Jacks adds two more, slipping the last ball of the set into an area around backward square.

  17. Invincibles 9-0published at 92 balls left

    72 runs needed

    Fox!

    Fox on the field!

    Some urban wildlife has made it onto the outfield and manages a rather panicked lap of the ground before finding an exit point.

    Prior to that, Tawanda Muyeye got the first boundary of the innings, sending Dan Worrall through the covers.

  18. Invincibles 4-0published at 95 balls left

    77 runs needed

    Will Jacks sends Luke Wood's first delivery out to the depths of mid-wicket and has time to run three.

    Tawanda Muyeye gets off the mark two balls later, squeezing a single out through square.

    Sam Curran's final wicket to remove Richard Gleeson was clocked at 47.1mph - a new record slowest-wicket delivery by seamer in the men's Hundred by 0.6 mph. Beating his own record in removing Ashton Turner earlier in the innings.

    Ah, here they are in fact.

    Left-arm seamer Luke Wood will bowl the first ball to Will Jacks - two of England's white-ball players facing off.

    Tawanda Muyeye is down the other end for Invincibles.
