Former IPL batter on BBC RadioThat's a lovely shot. She waited nicely, picked the length quite early and there was no chance for the fielder in the deep.
Spirit 11-3published at 20 balls
Another dot? Nope, that's the first boundary of the day as Amelia Kerr pulls a short one for four.
Even so, there's still only one team in this at the moment.

Five dots in a row now...

BBC RadioRight now, the Invincibles are all over them. There was a bit of movement for Ismail, too.

Shabnim Ismail, like Mady Villiers, will bowl another set of five.
Why not?
Spirit 7-3published at 15 balls
Ismail finishes her set of five. The Spirit are stunned.

Former IPL batter on BBC RadioThere is an edge, a big edge. It is a match-winning effort from the Invincibles.
We know the stats in T20 cricket, if you lose three wickets in the powerplay it's pretty much over. London Spirit have lost three in 11 balls.

Luff c Winfield-Hill b Ismail 1 (Spirit 4-3)
A clear spike!
What a decision to review this and the Invincibles are rewarded with a wicket. That was a nothing shot from Sophie Luff who feathers one to the keeper.
The Invincibles have absolutely aced this powerplay and we're not ever halfway through it.

Shabnim Ismail thinks she has Sophie Luff caught behind. Not out, we go upstairs though...

BBC RadioThat is a remarkable 10 deliveries from Mady Villiers. Absolutely outstanding.

It's all smiles in the field for the Oval Invincibles who will go straight into the knockouts with a win today.
They couldn't have dreamed of a better start.
