Cartwright c Rossington b Crane 42 (Invincibles 86-5)
Partnership broken! Calm down everyone... Just as it looked like we were on for a grandstand finish, Cartwright gets a faint edge behind off Mason Crane and the Invincibles are five down.
The previous ball had been carried over the rope for six so the runs are still coming - but will that wicket halt the momentum?

They couldn't, could they!? Jordan Cox gets in on the act now with back-to-back boundaries to begin Crane's next set of five!

They've just got to keep plugging away at the difference. It's not in their favour but they've just got to try and reduce it as much as they can.

With a pair of fours to sandwich that massive six from Cartwright, the Invincibles finally have some momentum!
It would still take something remarkable but they have given themselves a glimmer of hope.

SIX! Is that what Oval Invincibles need to kickstart their chase!? It's a huge hit from Hilton Cartwright, pulled high over deep backward square and into the crowd.
It's measured at 103m - that is a big one!

London Spirit have bolstered their side well after finishing bottom last year and Eoin Morgan looks more animated than usual. We don't usually see emotion from him but he looks up for this.

That dropped catch aside, it was another good five for the London Spirit.
Only three runs added to the total and Oval Invincibles are going nowhere fast...

I was expecting the celebrations there. I'm very surprised.
Cox dropped by Pollard on 21published at 47 balls left
Invincibles 53-4
A let-off for Jordan Cox. He slashes the ball towards Kieron Pollard at backward point but the big West Indian can't hold on.
Not much in the way of the reaction from the fielder but his expression was enough to show he expected to take that.

I'm still hopeful for the Invincibles! They are on the back foot but there's still batting to come.

Tidy again from Dawson. It's all ones and twos for Cox and Cartwright, and at the halfway stage of the chase, the Invincibles need something really special if they are to win this one.
And we're going to have a strategic timeout.

London Spirit are getting through their balls really quickly, bowling the spinners in tandem and not allowing the batters to settle at all.
You always want the bragging rights in the London derby!

The win predictor for the Oval Invincibles is saying 2%!

Really good from Dawson, he's not giving the OVal Invincibles batters anything to work with.
Boundaries have been few and far between but good running does allow Cox and Cartwright to come back for two from the last.
Well, I say the last, Dawson is also going to continue for another five.

Yesterday we saw a team cruise to a chase but that's not the case today. If the Oval Invincibles get there, it'll be a party in South London tonight!

Cox gets four more off Crane with another firm pull shot, albeit he was helped a misfield from the fielder on the leg-side boundary.
Crane recovers well from there, though, and is unfortunate not to take a wicket with the last ball of the set of 10. A leading edge from Cartwright spirals into the off-side but falls between the fielders.

There's a lot going on with Mason Crane's bowling action. He's all arms and legs.
If he's wearing a fitness tracker it's probably getting very confused!

That is remarkable. There was no pace on the ball at all, he's just slammed it into the ground and it's gone for four.
