    Want to see another worm? Yes? Good. No? Sorry...

  2. Invincibles 94-4

    Top-edged and... four!

    That'll settle some of the nervous around the ground.

  3. Invincibles 90-4

    I've become so used to seeing England's white-ball team attack in situations like this. Sam Billings, a regular member of those England teams, is doing this more conservatively.

    Sam Billings need to bat through and be there at the end, it's Laurie Evans that needs to take a few risks.

    25 balls to go
  6. Invincibles 88-4

    Need 34 runs from 25 balls

    Rain is starting to fall at The Oval. It's very tight on DLS - the method used to decide rain-shortened matches. The Invincibles would win as it stands. Just.

  7. Invincibles 85-4

    The result of the strategic timeout is that spinner Matt Critchley will bowl.

    Tom Curran, the next batter in, is pacing on the boundary edge.

    Welsh Fire have done well to peg them back after their flying start but these two have just steadied things. One or two wickets and a few dot balls can change things quickly, though.

  9. Invincibles 83-4

    Need 39 runs from 30 balls

    Payne concedes just the two runs. Welsh Fire call for their timeout. I wonder if Ben Duckett is one for rousing speeches?

    You can tell that Billings and Evans are just waiting, they can afford to just keep up with the run rate and wait for the bad ball.

  11. Invincibles 81-4

    Need 41 more runs to win

    Another set of five balls from Jimmy Neesham keeps the scoring in check. Billings knows he doesn't have to do anything silly.

    Left-armer David Payne returns...

  12. Invincibles 77-4

    Sam Billings is too experienced to fall into this trap. He plays a Test-match forward defence to Qais, happy to see him finished for the night.

    Oval Invincibles need 45 runs from 40 balls.

  13. Invincibles 73-4

    Target 122

    There's no chance of getting the ball out of Qais Ahmad's hands. He's bowling so well, zipping one past the edge of new batter Laurie Evans. He's going to bowl another five on the spin.

    It could be one of those wickets that could work in the Oval Invincibles' favour. He didn't quite get going but we haven't seen the best of Colin Ingram in this tournament yet.

  15. New batter: Laurie Evans

  16. WICKET

    Ingram lbw b Qais 9 (Invincibles 73-4)

    Gone this time. The ball would have whacked into leg stump.

    Ingram goes for nine from 16 balls which may not be the worst thing for the batting side.

    Will it be third time lucky for Qais Ahmad?

  18. Post update

    Ingram hasn't hit it...

  19. Umpire review

    Colin Ingram is given out to Qais Ahmad lbw again! Can he overturn the decision for a second time?

    Matt Critchley has been very successful for Derbyshire over the years but Billings looks to be going after him here.
