  1. 50 balls to goBBC Sport

  2. Invincibles 71-3

    Need 51 runs to win

    Those 21,000 people sound engrossed in the game. Critchley responds nicely to that six.

    I effectively proposed to a Will Jacks six earlier. This was it...

    The official attendance tonight is 21,279. It's good to see that whatever the format, the numbers are still turning up.

  4. 6 runs

    Invincibles 98-3

    Is there any higher praise? That's like being told you're a good tennis player by Roger Federer.

    Billings is going here. Matt Critchley comes on and is immediately smashed into the stand.

  6. Invincibles 61-3

    Need 61 more runs to win

    The Invincibles may be wobbling a little but they have two experienced men in Sam Billings and Colin Ingram at the crease. A Sam Billings drive for four has the Oval crowd "ahhh-ing". Textbook.

  7. Invincibles 54-3

    Need 67 more runs to win

    That's 10 balls on the spin for Afghanistan leg-spinner Qais Ahmad for the cost of six runs.

    I forgot Colin de Grandhomme as well. So many Colins.

  8. Not as bad as it appears for Invincibles?

  9. Invincibles 51-3

    Target 122

    Where have all these Colins come from in professional cricket, by the way? Ingram, Munro and Ackermann. Even I'm getting confused.

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

    Two close calls, two false high-fives for Qais Ahmad.

  11. Not out

    Ingram survives again!

    He might want to start using his bat mind you.

  12. Umpire review

    Why doesn't anyone think of the live-texters?

    We're going upstairs for a stumping now. Keeper Tom Banton is very confident.

  13. Not out

    Oooooo! It looked so out but the ball tracking has the ball missing leg stump. There are relieved cheers as Ingram survives.

  14. Invincibles review

    A wicket with the first ball of spin? Qais Ahmad hits Colin Ingram on the pad. It was given out.

  15. Invincibles 49-3

    Need 73 runs to win

    Things are only going to get tougher now the spin comes on.

    Here's how Matt Milnes made a remarkably good entry to the tournament...

  16. New batter: Colin Ingram

    Both of the set players have now departed. It doesn't put pressure on the Invincibles yet, because they got a quick start, but it does allow Welsh Fire to seize some control.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Narine c Critchley b Neesham 10 (Invincibles 48-3)

    Now then. Welsh Fire wrestle themselves back into the game with a second quick wicket. It's Jimmy Neesham again, who now gets Sunil Narine.

  19. Invincibles 47-2

    Target 122

    They have lost two wickets but Oval Invincibles are racing along.

    In some ways, Will Jacks has done his job there. He's got them off to a flyer.
