  1. Invincibles 60-4published at 55 balls left

    Need 87 more runs to win

    This is now a tough ask for Invincibles. They can't really afford to lose any more wickets at the moment, nor do they want to let the run-rate get ahead of them.

    Laurie Evans whips Wheal off the hips for four, nice shot. He follows that with a top edge which lands just short of the mid-on.

  2. Invincibles 54-4published at 60 balls left

    Need 93 more runs to win

    Five balls, two runs and one wicket. Top quality bowling from Mason Crane.

    Gorgeous bowling by the leggie! Didn't get his weight going into the shot, and Ravi will take those all day.

    Billings c Bopara b Crane 9 (Invincibles 52-4)

    Mason Crane strikes and the Invincibles captain Sam Billings is heading back to the dressing room.

    Billings hangs back in the crease and cuts it straight to Ravi Bopara (who has his trousers firmly on) at backward point.

  6. Invincibles 52-3published at 63 balls left

    Leg-spinner Mason Crane turns his arm for the first time. And he outfoxes Jacks twice with the spin. Crane's coach Shane Warne looks on and given an approving nod. He wasn't a bad leg-spinner either, eh?

  7. Invincibles 52-3published at 65 balls left

    Need 95 more runs to win

    Good cricket from Jacks and Billings as they run well between the wickets to bring up Invincibles fifty. They have come back well since losing those three wickets.

    My word, what a huge shot from Will Jacks! He has absolutely clobbered Cullen into the stands. Middled.

  10. Invincibles 41-3published at 70 balls left

    Need 106 more to win

    Dan and Judi are amongst the 19,673 in attendance at The Oval tonight.

    David Wiese, with his long locks, bowls four good balls before Billings pulls him through mid-wicket for four.

    Strictly Come Dancing 2021 contestants Dan Walker and Judi Love are in attendance at The Oval tonight.

    No doubt bagging some tips from Michael Vaughan (less so, Phil Tufnell) when they can.

    Make that three boundaries in a row from Will Jacks! Swept to fine leg!

  14. Invincibles 28-3published at 78 balls left

    Will Jacks is smashing it! He hits Van der Merwe for four through the off side and then another boundary through the leg side. Consecutive boundaries!

    He's given us a little bit too much, and for the nation!

  17. Invincibles 19-3published at 81 balls left

    The moment of the day! Ravi Bopara dives full length to field in the deep, his trousers fall down and the whole of The Oval, and everyone watching at home, can see his white pants. There is no other way to put it.

    Not better sight for a quick bowler, stumps out of the ground, it's going in favour of the Spirit!
