    WICKET

    Van Niekerk c George b Harvey 8 (Invincibles 65-4)

    Katie George take a bow! A worldie of a catch.

    Oh I could watch this over and over again. The Welsh Fire fielder sprints in off the boundary edge and scoops the ball up just above the ground to dismiss Van Niekerk.

    Massive wicket. Brilliant grab.

    Welsh Fire, particularly Hennessy, have just bowled very straight and stopped them from getting too many boundaries away.

  4. Invincibles 64-3

    Need 49 more runs to win

    The wait for a boundary goes on. Are Welsh Fire favourites now? I think so.

  5. Invincibles 60-3

    A wide is followed by two dot balls. The Invincibles need a boundary.

  6. Invincibles fizzling out or ready to explode?

  7. Invincibles 59-3

    Need 54 more runs to win

    Umpire Redfern is giggling at the end of this set of five balls. It's good to see she's fine.

    Welsh Fire are squeezing this game nicely. Dane van Niekerk has only five from 11 balls.

    I think the only damage is to her ankle and her pride. As long as she's ok, that's the most important thing. She looks to be walking comfortably now.

  9. Invincibles 56-3

    It is a nasty turn of the ankle for the umpire and the physios have been on to check her over.

    We're going to get back under way.

  10. Invincibles 56-3

    We've got a worrying moment with umpire Sue Redfern down on the ground. I think she has tripped when moving into position to judge a run out attempt.

    She has half a smile on her face. I think she's okay.

    One big advantage the Welsh Fire have is that they have such a quality keeper who can stand up to the stumps when the fast bowlers are on. It puts a lot more pressure on the batter.

  12. Invincibles 54-3

    Need 59 more runs to win

    I bet every batter feels the pressure just that little bit more with lurking Sarah Taylor behind her. The ex-England keeper is at her best here, plucking the ball out of the air as the bat swishes in front of her. Impressive stuff. This was easy as you like from Taylor earlier too...

    That was a bit of a release shot because the Invincibles had been really tied down, particularly by Baker.

  14. Invincibles 52-3

    Need 61 more runs to win

    This may well be the shot of the day.

    Fran Wilson, light on her feet, skips down the pitch to the spin of Harvey and times the ball over the infield. It skips on, cheered by the Oval crowd as it goes, and reaches the rope.

    Win predictor has this as 51%-49%. Tight.

    I like what I'm seeing from Hannah Baker.

  16. Invincibles 45-3

    Need 68 more runs to win

    This is really well poised at the halfway stage.

  17. Not out

    Not this time for Taylor. She has the bails off in a flash but Invincibles skipper Dane van Niekerk's foot has not moved.

  18. Umpire review

    Sarah Taylor hasn't done it again has she? We're checking a stumping.

  19. Next batter: Dane van Niekerk

    It was a quick decision from Fran Wilson to tell Gibbs not to review. Hannah Baker has impressed me with her control, especially given she's just 17 years old.
