    Invincibles need boundaries. They need one player who can clear the ropes and hit the ball cleanly and Marizanne Kapp is stepping up. Tremendous batting.

    There is no room for singles now.

  2. 6 runs

    Invincibles 97-2published at 33 balls left

    80 runs needed

    Well, that'll help!

    Marizanne Kapp launches Charlie Dean down the ground for six, then follows that up with a swept four past backward square.

  3. Invincibles 87-2published at 35 balls left

    90 runs needed

    Charli Knott sends down another tidy set.

    Spirit very much on top, Invincibles will really need to go some from here to reach their target.

  4. Invincibles 81-2published at 40 balls left

    96 runs needed

    Away we go.

    Lanning hits Glenn out to the square boundary and fielder Issy Wong almost runs past the ball, but does well to recover and do a goalkeeper-esque one-handed save before throwing back in.

    Just a single in the end.

    Oval Invincibles bowler Tash Farrant: "I haven't been playing much cricket but I am happy to be around the girls. As soon as I got out there with the girls, it was amazing.

    "After being out with injury for so long, it gives you a lot of perspective on things. Getting to a place mentally is just as important as physically.

    On bowling to Grace Harris: "Harris makes your margin for error so small. We didn't perform today on the field but hopefully we can chase this down."

    Former London Spirit captain Heather Knight speaking on BBC Two about her new role in the team: "Rehab is my priority but it is really nice to be involved with the team as a coach and mentor.

    "The girls are calling me 'the intern'. I have my notebook and I am learning on the job. I am loving being around cricket and helping wherever I can. I am not doing too much in the nets but it is nice to still be around the team."

    While we wait for a resumption, a few words from a couple of familiar faces...

    Meg Lanning is having fun out there. She is so hard to bowl to. She hits you one side and then the other, very similar to Grace Harris.

  9. Invincibles 79-2published at 43 balls left

    98 runs needed

    Ouch!

    We'll take a break as umpire Sue Redfearn is struck on the head by the ball as it comes back in.

    She appears OK to continue but that must have hurt.

    It comes off the back of consecutive boundaries for Meg Lanning, hitting Sarah Glenn through the covers and then mid-wicket.

    Invincibles now need less than a hundred runs off their remaining deliveries.

  10. Invincibles 71-2published at 45 balls left

    106 runs needed

    Lanning adds two through point, taking her to 32 from 30 deliveries.

  11. 6 runs

    Invincibles 69-2published at 47 balls left

    A first six for Meg Lanning, smacking Eva Gray over long-off!

    Prior to that, Marizanne Kapp picked up four in a similar area, her first boundary after scoring six from her first eight balls.

  12. Invincibles 58-2published at 50 balls left

    119 runs needed

    Another lbw wicket?

    No...

    Charlie Dean goes up off her final delivery, hoping to see the umpire's finger rising.

    Nothing doing, Meg Lanning survives and has 24 from 27 as we reach the half way stage.

    Invincibles need more boundaries and I would like to see more high risk cricket from this pair.

    Singles and staying in there is not going to win you the game.

  14. Invincibles 53-2published at 55 balls left

    Five singles off a set from spinner Charli Knott takes Invincibles past 50.

    Knott, an uncapped Australian, has replaced the withdrawn Deepti Sharma in the Spirit squad.

    A lovely shot from Meg Lanning. She dances down the wicket and pierces the gap in extra cover. You want to be getting four or six when you are taking a risk like that.

    Invincibles needs more of those.

  16. Invincibles 48-2published at 60 balls left

    Beats the diving cover fielder!

    Meg Lanning drives Sarah Glenn and the ball flies in the air to the boundary - the Australian's second four.

    Sarah Glenn's last seven Hundred wickets have come with deliveries hitting the stumps, it's no surprise that her stump-to-stump approach delivers once again against Alice Capsey.

  18. Invincibles 39-2published at 65 balls left

    138 runs needed

    A tidy set from Issy Wong as we change ends.

    Just two singles from it.

    Sarah Glenn is not a big turner of the ball but skids it through from the top of the wicket and hits the shiny side of the ball. Just what the captain ordered.

  20. Invincibles 37-2published at 70 balls left

    Marizanne Kapp comes to the crease for Invincibles, and fails to score with a cut shot off Glenn's last ball.
