If you look on paper London Spirit are the underdogs. They have a few players who play their cricket here and that will help them.

The players are hanging around on the boundary edge waiting, hoping, it will not be long until they get on.

London Spirit have a lot of good players of spin. They know Sunil Narine is a world-class bowler but they will not be frightened of taking him on.

It might not be a night you need a big big score. London Spirit just need to post something half decent. If it swings around at the beginning it will swing around all the way through.

It's sunny and at the same time drizzling over St John's Wood at the moment. The cover has gone back on the pitch.

Having spent many years here weather watching for Middlesex and England I've got to know a few signs about the weather. If you can't see the buildings in the distance over the pavilion you might be in trouble.

There's a few brollies going up at Lord's, but hopefully it's only a few spots and will not delay the start.

I don't think the toss makes too much of difference. It's about who plays this best in this one.

London Spirit skipper Dan Lawrence to BBC Two: "I think it was a simple decision with the toss. The pitch looks a little bit tacky but hopefully we can put some runs on the board."

Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings to BBC Two: "Obviously with the weather round and the pitch been under covers it's a straighforward decision to bowl first. Hopefully it will zip around. The wicket looks green and hopefully the Curran brothers can cause some trouble."
Oval Invincibles win the toss and bowl
London Spirit skipper Dan Lawrence gives the coin a toss and Sam Billings, his counterpart at the Oval Invincibles, calls correctly.
Billings decides to bowl first.

Because of all the rain we've had this afternoon the toss has been delayed by quarter of an hour until 18:15 BST.
Provided there is no more rain play will commence at 18:45.
However, not long ago the clouds parted in St John's Wood and the the ground was bathed in early August sunshine. We should have some play this evening.
Welcome to our live coverage of the men's match between London Spirit and Oval Invicibles in The Hundred.
