    I love watching Nathan Ellis bowl. He is top class and one of the best in the game at mixing up his pace.

    An expensive start for Ellis but if the Spirit can take this game deep then I'm sure he'll come into it later on.

    I'm sure Jordan Cox will unleash at some point but he seems happy to let Will Jacks do the bulk of the work at the moment!

  4. Invincibles 25-0published at 82 balls left

    Need 98 more to win

    Nathan Ellis is into the attack. The Aussie seamer can be a tricky customer but Jacks has taken an early liking to him.

    A short ball to start is powered away behind square before Jacks drills over the top for four more a couple of balls later.

    They're playing hit and run at the moment!

  6. Invincibles 17-0published at 85 balls left

    Need 106 more to win

    Neither Jacks nor Jordan Cox has really managed to time the ball so far but the running between the wickets has been extremely aggressive. It's led to a few risky singles but they've got away with it so far.

    Eoin Morgan's leadership will be really important tonight if Spirit are going to win.

    It's not the cleanest strike Will Jacks has ever hit, but that boundary will make him feel better. They will be pleased to get through those first 10 balls.

  9. Invincibles 12-0published at 90 balls left

    Need 111 more to win

    Four to end the set! A fraction too short from Dawson and Jacks is able to rock back and pull it away, one bounce for four.

  10. Invincibles 7-0published at 93 balls left

    Need 116 more to win

    Chance! Jacks hits Liam Dawson to mid-off and calls for a single. Ben McDermott has at good two and a half stumps to aim at but is off target.

    Just as well for Jacks, he would have been well short of his ground.

    Chris Wood was on top of Will Jacks there for all five balls but has still conceded six runs.

  12. Invincibles 6-0published at 95 balls left

    Need 117 more to win

    Jacks gets the first boundary of the innings from the fourth ball. He tries to hit leg side but gets a leading edge that carries over backward point and runs away to the fence.

    Not the execution he'd have wanted but the intent is clear for all to see.

    I'd love a low-scoring thriller here tonight.

  14. Invincibles 0-0published at 99 balls left

    Need 123 to win

    A good delivery to start from Wood. The left-armer gets the ball to shape back in to Jacks. An inside edge saves the Invincibles batter from being plumb lbw.

    Chris Wood will bowl the first five, he's got Will Jacks in his sights from the first ball...

    Eoin Morgan, donning his floppy hat - presumably to protect his eyes from the floodlights given the sun has now set in London - leads out London Spirit.

    The Oval Invincibles follow them. A reminder that there is no Jason Roy, he's got a stiff back.

    One thing that London Spirit can cling to is that no men's side has won chasing in The Hundred this year.

    They've got a few wily operators with the ball as well so they won't be giving up on this game yet - not by a long stretch.

    Thanks, Josef. London Spirit have done slightly better than in the women's game earlier but it's another very gettable target for Oval Invincibles at Lord's.

    The home side will have to bowl superbly to defend 122-7. A victory for the Invincibles would keep them right in the mix for an Eliminator place.

    Righto, that's me done for the evening.

    I'll leave you in the very capable hands of Sam Drury for the Invincibles' chase.
