Top-edged and... four!
That'll settle some of the nervous around the ground.

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.

Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraSam Billings need to bat through and be there at the end, it's Laurie Evans that needs to take a few risks.

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.
Invincibles 85-4published at 27 balls left
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.

Chris Green
Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraWelsh 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.

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

Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraYou 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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Umpire reviewpublished at 46 balls left
Colin Ingram is given out to Qais Ahmad lbw again! Can he overturn the decision for a second time?
