What a start!
Reece Topley bowls full and straight, smashes into Alex Hales' front pad but the umpire says no.
Captain Sam Billings is persuaded for a review, but Hales looks pretty chilled.

Alex Hales and Dawid Malan make their way to the middle.
That is a pretty daunting sight for any bowler. Malan could also be an option for England's top order, so there's pressure on Roy from all angles tonight!

It's the battle of the openers tonight, two batters who find themselves at complete opposite ends of the run-scoring spectrum.
Alex Hales had a rare failure against Birmingham Phoenix a couple of days ago but is still in very good form, while Jason Roy can't buy a run - he's had three ducks in four games.
With plenty of chat around Roy's place in the England squad, is Hales a contender to replace him? It's Hales who's in action first tonight.

Bowling first worked well for the women, who were able to restrict Trent Rockets to a low score, and the men opt for the same tactic.
We'll have the teams for you soon.

Good evening!
Oval Invincibles women just about got over the line against Trent Rockets in the first fixture of the day. Can they do the double?
Both teams have played four and won three, so we should be in for a close contest.
