Out by a whisker!
That's a big wicket, he was timing it beautifully. To be run out will be frustrating. He was in the mood.

Curran run out 16 (Invincibles 131-6(
Oh, Tom Curran, you only have yourself to blame.
He glances a ball down the leg side and, inexplicably, chances the arm of wicketkeeper Phil Salt.
Curran scrambles back to his crease but it's a direct hit and he's out by a matter of centimetres.
Invincibles 131-5published at 87 balls
Yorker length from Gleeson and Curran nutmegs himself for four more. This could turn out to be a match-winning cameo.

Former England spinner on BBC TwoThat is whopper. It was like a golf shot really. A free swing of the bat and that has gone many a mile.

Tom Curran is seeing it like a beach ball! He absolutely hammers it down the ground. It's high and far. Huge.

Oh wow! Tom Curran, the new batter in, stays rooted to the spot and swats his second ball for six. Absolutely middled.

A great knock from Billings, but that is a big wicket.

Billings c Hartley b Little 53 (Invincibles 115-5)
A third wicket for Josh Little and another fine catch by an Originals fielder as Sam Billings' brilliant knock comes to end.
Tom Hartley, running in from long-on, keeps his eyes on the ball to slide in and take a very good catch.

England all-rounder on BBC TwoIt's a big knock from the captain. He came in in the powerplay with his team in trouble. It's what you want from your captain.

And again! This one is even better. Billings shuffles to his right and hoicks it up and over deep mid-wicket. It's dropped by the lady in white in the crowd.
