    That's not quite as nicely timed, Sam Billings picking the ball up and flicking it a little more in the air than he intended, but it beats a diving Alex Davies to make it back-to-back boundaries.

    Sam Billings gets in on the fun. They're going at great pace.

    Shot!

    Sam Billings leans on a gorgeous drive that goes racing back past the bowler and into the ropes.

    In fact, George Garton is going to bowl another set of five.

    Jason Roy, who has seen next to nothing of the strike so far, and he scrambles a leg bye after getting all a-tangle.

    It's been an interesting start. Oval Invincibles got a rapid start but George Garton has just pulled the Brave back in it.

    Applause for George Garton, who has the much healthier figures of 2-13 to his name from his 10 balls.

    Sam Billings, calmly, pats the ball into the off side.

    I can't imagine facing a hat-trick ball is much fun.

    Good luck, Sam.

    He was trying to get out of the way, but it was too quick and he somehow got some bat on it.

    Two in two!

    After being carted around, George Garton is on a hat-trick! He bangs in a short ball, Colin Ingram gets into a real tangle trying to get out of the way, and instead spoons it up into the air. Quinton de Kock takes the catch, and that's a big turnaround in this game in the space of two balls.

    One big shot too many, but Will Jacks has done his job for the team.

    Jacks c Lintott b Garton 39 (Invincibles 46-1)

    Will Jacks' fun is over!

    He goes for another hoick over the leg side but doesn't quite get underneath this one and, after the ball has hung in the air for an age, it settles in the hands of the waiting Jake Lintott.

    The pitch was quite slow for the women's game, so I wasn't expecting a huge total here. I may have to rethink!

    George Garton returns and Will Jacks gives himself some room, all three stumps on display, and sends it flying over the off-side for four.

    He's just been hit on the helmet at 90mph and he hits the next ball for six! I know I said he's got no fear, but come on!

    He's got the helmet camera on. I think we'll get some good footage of that one!

    Ooft!

    Tymal Mills follows up with a slower ball that Will Jacks simply stands and smacks straight back down over long-on for another big 'un.

    Will Jacks, thankfully, seems to be OK to continue.
