Something to cheer for the London Spirit.
It's been one-sided from the first ball. A brilliant knock from Suzie Bates she batted beautifully.

Something to cheer for the London Spirit.
It's been one-sided from the first ball. A brilliant knock from Suzie Bates she batted beautifully.
Bates c Mooney b Scrivens 31 (INvincibles 55-1)
Superb catch behind!
We saw Bates nail the reverse off Scrivens earlier but she can only get a feather on this one and Beth Mooney takes a very sharp catch stood up to the stumps.
Probably no more than a minor speed bump for the Invincibles but you never know (in this instance, you probably do though).

Freya Davis just slides it down leg.
You can't bowl there to Suzie Bates at the moment she's in such great form and is such a presence. She's a scary person to bowl to like this.
Need 27 more runs to win
The slower ball from Davies is wayward and Suzie Bates punishes her. Pulled away behind square for another boundary.
Less than 30 runs required now. A place in the Eliminator beckons for the Invincibles.
Need 34 more runs to win
That's a very good set from Charlie Dean. The Spirit captain might not have found the breakthrough but she has at least managed to slow the Invincibles charge to victory.
Invincibles 47-0
It did hit Winfield-Hill outside the line. Good decision by the umpire but well worth a look for the Spirit.

It might have been hitting her slightly outside the line.
Big appeal for lbw as Winfield-Hill tries to heave Dean leg side. Given not out but I think this is close.
Was the impact outside the line? That seems to be the only issue.

What a start from the batters. They have put the bowlers under pressure, not letting them settle.
I said they were cantering to victory, it's looking more like a gallop at this point.

That was massive! They are cruising now.

Glorious. After putting another short ball away for four, Bates knew the full one had to come and skipped down the pitch to meet it.
An easy swing of the bat sends the ball high over long on for the first six of the innings.

Too short from Amelia Kerr. Suzie Bates won't miss out on that.

Thumped for four. Short from Amelia Kerr and Bates just hammers it away square.

It's a bit tight at the top of the table so Oval Invincibles will want to get this done pretty quickly to boost their net run rate.
Need 52 more runs to win
You can't fault the Spirit's effort with the bat and in the field so far but they need wickets.
As it is, the visitors are cantering to victory.
Need 54 more runs to win
Brilliant from Bates! She moves across her stumps and reverse laps Scrivens for four.
Lovely shot and she made it look so easy, too.
Spin did the trick early for the Invincibles and it nearly gets the Spirit on the board here. Grace Scrivens gets a bit of drift and Winfield-Hill sends a thick edge out towards backward point.
Somehow it finds the gap between the fielders and they run two. It is just not the Spirit's day.

Lauren Winfield-Hill is looking to dominate early.
