    Is that the little thing they need? There was no need for it.

    They cannot believe their luck - that is a huge mistake from Will Jacks!

    Jacks c Crane b Bopara 44 (Invincibles 109-5)

    Bopara has put trousergate behind him! It's a slower ball, out the back of the hand, and Will Jacks sends the ball straight down the throat of Mason Crane at long-on.

    Jacks and Evans showing great understanding, turning what should be one run into two.

    Right, who wants to see that video of Ravi Bopara losing his trousers? Do you? You sure? Oh, go on then...

    Could he have flicked it to Van Der Merwe who was close to him?

    Nearly something special on the boundary but it wasn't to be!

    This could have been a ridiculously good catch! Cracknell, running around the boundary, catches with both hands but his momentum is taking him over the rope. He tries to flick it back in the air but the ball follows him over the rope for six.

    This is completely changing the game! The Spirit need wickets.

    BIG!

    Mason Crane has bowled so well but Evans gets hold of one and launches the leg-spinner to the leg side for a huge six.

  11. Invincibles 82-4published at 45 balls left

    Mason Crane bowls a rare wide delivery but Jacks misses out. Another wide one, this time down the leg side, is taken quickly by Rossington behind the stumps and he whips off the bails but Evans was well in his crease.

    A good five balls from Crane, though. He's gone for six runs from 10 so far.

    The Invincibles are ahead of the rate at the halfway stage - but can they match the Spirit's acceleration nearer the end?

    Two wickets in three balls again would do very nicely for Spirit...

    The momentum can swing in just a space of a few deliveries. Laurie Evans is seeing the ball so well - Spirit will be desperate to see the end of him.

    Shot of the day! This six is better than the one a couple of deliveries ago as Evans effortlessly lofts it over cover. Gorgeous batting! Sixteen from three deliveries.

    Four more to Evans, drilled through point!

    He's going with the spin, he goes inside the line to go with the spin and is also hitting to that short boundary. It doesn't take long to get back into the game.

    Classy from Laurie Evans as he jigs down the track, frees his arms and lofts it to the long-on boundary for six.

    They've bowled very well, same sort of runs to the first innings but it's wickets that count.
