    They are so tricky out in the deep. You have a split second to decide if you want to try and take the catch or save the boundary and Tom Curran went for the catch and wasn't able to stop the boundary.

  2. Spirit 137-4published at Ball 83

    Ooooh, almost!

    Eoin Morgan clubs one into the leg side towards Tom Curran, who goes for the catch but it bounces underneath him and trickles away for four.

    I don't think that counts as a drop. Dropping a catch off your brother's bowling would not be ideal.

  3. Spirit 130-4published at Ball 80

    Kieron Pollard is the new batter.

    He is a pretty intimidating figure at the crease, and towers above Eoin Morgan when they meet for a chat between balls. He's known as a 'finisher', so basically he can just absolutely whack it at the end of an innings.

    This is a pretty perfect situation for him. Watch out in the stands.

    Dan Lawrence did the right thing there - he did the selfless thing for his team.

    They have had such a good first 75 balls - they will definitely be looking towards 180 and putting pressure on Oval Invincibles.

    Lawrence b Narine 27 (Spirit 127-4)

    Six and out!

    Lawrence tries to repeat his brilliant shot from the ball before, but completely misses and Narine gets his revenge.

    This is starting to become a bit of a problem from Oval Invincibles...

    Well, Morgan does hit him for four... but Dan Lawrence, who's been watching from the non-striker's end for a while, steals his thunder two balls later with a monster six down the ground.

    That was nailed.

  9. Spirit 116-3published at Ball 71

    Here's Sunil Narine to bowl his last set of five.

    He's been the best bowler, and is bowling to Eoin Morgan, who's been the best batter so far.

    Who will come out on top?

    If Eoin Morgan has a sensational Hundred and with the woes that the England white-ball team has had this summer would you plead him to come back for one last dance...

    And again! This one is huuuuge, down the ground once more.

    Spirit are once again in cruise control.

    Eoin Morgan is just rolling back the years a little bit here. That is a lovely shot.

    Another no-ball from Hasnain brings another free hit and Eoin Morgan plonks it up and over the bowler's head for six!

    He can play a bit, this lad.

    He's missed it by a mile.

    Sam Billings, that is a stinker.

    You could fit a double decker bus between the bat and the ball. A terrible review.

  17. Invincibles reviewpublished at 19:20 British Summer Time 4 August 2022

    Morgan swings and misses at a short ball from Hasnain and Sam Billings seems convinced that he's hit it.

    I'm not convinced at all, to be honest.

  18. Spirit 100-3published at Ball 67

    Another effortless dab past the keeper for four from Eoin Morgan brings up the Spirit's 100.

  19. Spirit 96-3published at Ball 66

    It's a good response from Hasnain, bowled right in at Morgan's toes so it's harder to hit, and they scamper a quick single.

  20. Spirit 95-3published at Ball 65

    Oh, disaster for the bowler!

    Mohammad Hasnain bowls a no-ball, his front foot going over the line of the crease, and it's a free hit to Eoin Morgan...
