  1. Not out

    Nope.

    If anything Tom Moores might have got the bails off too quickly then.

    Alex Blake start to topple over after Moores already whipped em off.

  2. Umpire review

    Have Tom Moores and Samit Patel done it again?

    Alex Blake, on his Hundred debut, could be gone first ball...

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

    Billings was just trying to give himself room and in doing so dragged his foot out of the crease. This Invincibles line-up is deep. They have the ability to keep going. It is going to be an interesting game.

    WICKET

    Billings st Moores b Billings 6 (Invincibles 68-4)

    Samit Patel is on fire.

    Sam Billings shifts to leg, looking to give himself room, but misses with his big swing. Tom Moores gathers cleanly and whips the bails off. That's a good bit of work from the Rockets keeper.

  6. Invincibles 68-3

    Sam Billings picks up a couple more with another sweep.

    That would be a good score from here? 130?

  7. Invincibles 66-3

    Ah.

    Too leggy from Rashid Khan and Sam Billings sweeps it past short fine leg for his first boundary.

    Superb wrists, that.

  8. Invincibles 62-3

    Rashid Khan is back on and Jason Roy looks to reverse sweep him twice, but only picks up a leg bye.

    Good start to the set.

  10. Rashid Khan meet Jason Roy.

    What a shot.

    After all the chat about the surface I think Gregory slipped a little bit there. He ended up diving like Superman. Brilliant work from my fellow Plymothian. One of the catches of the tournament.

    A stunning catch! That is absolutely extraordinary.

    WICKET

    Ingram c Gregory b Patel 9 (Invincibles 61-3)

    What a catch!

    Samit Patel throws one wide and Colin Ingram has to stretch for it, and Lewis Gregory - the Rockets captain - takes four or five paces to his right and then flings himself through the air to take a sensational one-handed catch, high to his right.

    Magnificent.

  14. 6 runs

    Invincibles 61-2

    Oh, that is rank.

    An absolute gift of a full toss from Samit Patel is just flicked over the square leg boundary by Colin Ingram.

    That may well have been caught on the boundary if they hadn't been brought in slightly due to the wetness.

  15. The left-arm spin of Samit Patel is back on.

    Tim Singleton: Matt Carter. Player of the 100 so far.

  17. Invincibles 52-2

    A decent set for Trent Rockets though with Matt Carter just conceding seven runs along with the wicket.

  18. Heather Knight
    London Spirit captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That has gone like an absolute bullet.

  19. Invincibles 50-2

    Jason Roy looks in fantastic touch.

    He picks up another boundary by shifting his front leg out of the way and crunching Matt Carter back down the ground.

    That flew.
