Oval Invincibles know how big that wicket is. That puts the pressure on Spirit, and they are going to have to do something very, very special to win.
Knight c Gibbs b Van Niekerk 40 (Spirit 83-6)
This should be game over....
Grace Gibbs with another superb catch, down at deep square leg this time to a ball that was swirling all around in the air.
Heather Knight tries to go for the maximum but can't quite middle it off Dane van Niekerk.
Spirit need 51 more to win
Dane van Niekerk cut away for four by Danielle Gibson.
Still in with a chance here Spirit?
Talking of spectacular, been some terrific fielding so far in this innings from Invincibles.
This catch from sub fielder Eva Gray a bit earlier helped dismiss Naomi Dattani....

Heather Knight has got to do something spectacular here.
Spirit need 56 more to win
Huge ask now for Spirit to win from here.
Heather Knight still there though on 39 from 27 balls.
Can she?

This is a huge sway in favour of Oval Invincibles.
Davies b Farrant 0 (Spirit 75-5)
Two in two balls for Tash Farrant!
Freya Davies comes and goes as she inside edges a ball on to her own stumps.

Maybe next year if you're out in two ways, the batter after you is out too, before they even get to the rope.
Very confusing there!
Chloe Tryon was definitely given out leg before, but then set off for a run and was turned back by Heather Knight.
Invincibles made absolutely sure she was out by running her out as well!

If it wasn't lbw, she was out of her ground and stumped, so in many ways she is gone.
Tryon lbw b Farrant 9 (Spirit 75-4)
And even more in their favour now...
Chloe Tryon tries to sweep Tash Farrant from a full and straight ball that clips her on the pads and up goes the finger.

The game is well in favour of the fielding side at the moment.
Spirit need 58 more to win
Heather Knight nearly finds the boundary again with a sweep from a full toss.
Great diving stop at short fine leg from Georgia Adams keeps it to just one run.
Spirit need 59 more to win
Four more for Heather Knight.
Glorious cover drive to the boundary. Can't beat that.
Spirit need 63 more to win
Shimmy down the pitch and a flick into the legside for a one-bounce four from Heather Knight.
Good start to Grace Gibbs' return with the ball.
Spirit need 63 more to win
Another very economical set of five from Mady Villiers.
This is looking like a very tough ask for Spirit from here.
