    What a spell of bowling this has been!

    WICKET

    Two in two! Well, well, well...

    Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Invincibles have made a real mess of this. That's not good cricket, having just lost a wicket. It's a high-risk option and two new batters at the crease makes this run-chase doubly hard. Brave haven't put in their most polished fielding performance but in the important moments, they've taken the important catches.

    WICKET

    van Niekerk c Dunkley b Wellington 31 (Invincibles 79-6)

    Another one! And it's the big wicket of the captain, Dane van Niekerk, who also goes for a big shot and finds the fielder.

    That's a pretty loose shot, to be honest. Van Niekerk, as has often been the case in this tournament, finds herself with a lot of the responsibility to get this job done.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Capsey c Norris b Morris 7 (Invincibles 79-5)

    Four and out. Alice Capsey, trying to get these runs quickly, goes for another big drive that ends up an easy catch.

    Caught Norris bowled Morris is pleasing to write, though.

  10. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That is nicely played and well struck by Capsey, clearing the tallest fielder on the ground.

  11. Invincibles 79-4

    37 more runs needed

    Shot! Alice Capsey walks across her stumps and just steers the ball away for four over Lauren Bell's head.

  12. The Invincibles have lost four wickets so far, in pursuit of their target of 116. Georgia Adams was the first to go.

  13. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    This is a finely poised game. It has nothing riding on it in terms of outcome, but it has plenty on it in terms of momentum.

  14. Invincibles 73-4

    43 more runs needed

    Well that's a brave shot when you've only faced three balls! Capsey goes for a reverse sweep and misses.

    Time for a strategic timeout.

  15. Heather Knight
    London Spirit captain on BBC Two

    Stafanie Taylor has been a bit loose today.

  16. Invincibles 70-4

    And she's greeted to the crease by her captain, Dane van Niekerk, whacking the ball straight back at her and gets her on the shoulder.

    But van Niekerk hits the next ball for four, so maybe all is forgiven.

  17. Invincibles 66-4

    50 more runs needed

    Alice Capsey only turned 17 a few days ago.

    Her team now needed 50 to win from 30 balls. No pressure, then.

    Mady was torn with disbelief that she had hit one straight back at the bowler. That's a good catch from Lauren Bell in her follow-through.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Villiers c & b Bell 1 (Invincibles 66-4)

    Good catch! It looked like the ball had bounced first before Bell took it, but the umpire gives it out after some initial confusion.

    This could get close!
