    That is huge and exactly where Rossington wanted it. He just sat back and waited for it.

    At last!

    Adam Rossington leans back and hooks Saqib Mahmood high over the rope and into the stands behind square leg for the night's first six.

    A crucial part of The Hundred is to make sure you get the ones and twos if you can't hit a boundary. The dot balls will kill you.

  4. Spirit 28-0published at 22 balls

    A frustrated-looking Joe Denly finally gets to free his arms to swat Saqib Mahmood through the offside for a much-needed four

  5. Spirit 22-0published at Ball 20

    Good first set from headband-sporting Tom Curran, just five runs from it - Spirit are stuck in first gear so far.

    That is powerfully struck from Denly, brilliant batting. He's a good player and a nice striker of a cricket ball.

    Joe Denly's had enough of this and he moves down the track to bash Sunil Narine back over his head for a four that's almost dead straight down the ground.

  8. Spirit 12-0published at Ball 11

    Sunil Narine comes into the attack, but Adam Rossington greets him with a lofted shot off one knee that drops just short of being the night's first six - but four will do.

    Topley is tall, quick and difficult to manoeuvre around.

  10. Spirit 8-0published at Ball 10

    Joe Denly aims a couple of heaves over midwicket, but Topley's not giving him any space to really get a good connection.

    Good start from the Invincibles.

    Joe Denly will fancy this. If you're a player, you'd want to bat at the top of the order.

    Left-armer Reece Topley is now on as he runs out of the sun and into the shade that now lies across the ground just ahead of the umpire.

    Beautiful, that is beautiful. Just pure timing from Rossington.

  15. Spirit 4-0published at Ball 2

    Adam Rossington leans back, punches the ball past point and over the boundary rope for the first runs.

    You always get the feeling it will be a big game at The Oval, something big is going to happen. Fingers crossed.

    Right, Saqib Mahmood has moved back from the Test squad and is pawing the ground to get us going...

    Northern Superchargers posted a gigantic 200-5 on Thursday, is the Oval set to see a run-fest tonight? We don't have long to wait as the teams emerge.

    London Spirit really needed that win the other day. They're like a wounded beast - they've got nothing to lose.
