    I'd love to see Sunil Narine come in next and throw caution to the wind. He can play his shots and get them ahead of the rate.

    The stumps lit up but the bails didn't fall off! That is remarkable.

    Jason Roy is one lucky man.

    Target 167

    How is your luck?!

    Jason Roy chops on but the bails somehow stay on the stumps.

    Is this the moment where Roy goes on to a big knock.

    Bowler Kane Richardson isn't too impressed.

    Tom Helm's first 10 balls have gone for six runs. What a spell.

    Dropped at short fine leg. That was a difficult chance, it came fast at him. He got his hands to it but it burst through.

    Invincibles 22-2

    That's criminal.

    New batter Jordan Cox tries to pull Tom Helm round the corner but Imran Tahir is right underneath it.

    Surely, no?! Through the hands.

    Yep, Tom Helm on 1-4 continues.

    It looked for a moment that Imran Tahir was continuing but he's retreated to the safety of short fine leg.

  12. Invincibles 19-2published at 85 balls to go

    Target 167

    Imran Tahir finishes off well, conceding three runs from his last four deliveries.

    148 runs needed off 85. The Invincibles are up against it.

    The worm shows Oval Invincibles Men are five runs behind Birmingham Phoenix Men. Oval Invincibles Men are 19 for 2 after 15 balls. At the same stage Birmingham Phoenix Men were 24 for 1.

    That's vintage Roy, that's what players and fans are used to seeing.

    Target 167

    Much better from Jason Roy. He strikes a crisp cover drive off Imran Tahir for four.

    Is he finally finding his touch?

    He held onto that one handed in the end.

    He's caught it with two hands and used one hand to brace the landing so that it doesn't pop out. That is brilliant, sensational stuff.

    Rossouw c Smeed b Helm 5 (Invincibles 11-2)

    Another big wicket.

    Rilee Rossouw goes big again but mistimes it, top-edging the ball high into the night sky.

    Will Smeed makes up a lot of ground to get under the ball and pluck it out of the air on the dive.

    Disaster for the Invincibles. Joy for the Phoenix.

    Rossouw has added a lot of control to his shots when he's not trying to muscle it.

    He guides this beautifully behind square for four.

    Every shot except this one.

    Rilee Rossouw makes a rare delicate dab, controlling the ball brilliantly through the off side for four.
