Former England bowler on BBC TwoWhat a bit of fielding! He's stopped the six. Wow!

Incredible stop from Matthew Wade!
Gus Atkinson nails the ball leg side, it looks six all the way but Wade times his jump on the boundary to perfection and pushes the ball back into play.
Four runs saved.
Invincibles 114-7published at Eight balls left
Jordan Thompson goes for the wide yorker to Gus Atkinson but goes too far and it's called a wide.
London Spirit have also missed the cut off for bowling their balls so another fielder has to come up into the 30-yard circle.

Tymal Mills
England pace bowler on BBC TwoJordan Thompson has read the batter really well there.
He's gone slower and dragged the ball really well knowing that Sam Billings was looking to go the leg side.
You would fancy Spirit from here. They have bowled brilliant and built the pressure in the last 10 balls.

Billings c Pepper b Thompson 25 (Invincibles 113-7)
Caught in the deep!
Jordan Thompson goes wide off off stump, trying to protect the short boundary but Sam Billings is determined to target it.
The batter gets a long way across and tries to find it but doesn't middle it and Michael Pepper takes the catch on the boundary.

Jordan Thompson will bowl the next five. Nathan Ellis will surely bowl the last five.

Sam Billings beats point with a cut shot to end the over but the fielder in the deep gets around to keep it to a single.
Excellent five from Nathan Ellis, just four runs and a wicket from it. He's got another five balls still to bowl...

Former England captain on BBC TwoNathan Ellis is renowned for this. He often wins his sides games when the other side needs two a ball.
He's got so much skill and variation.

England pace bowler on BBC TwoLondon Spirit just keep chipping away.
It looked like Tom Curran was expecting the slower ball and it just rushed through him.
This London derby is still alive.

T Curran b Ellis 9 (Invincibles 111-6)
Full, straight and he's bowled 'im!
London Spirit needed that and it's the perfect response from Nathan Ellis after that wide.
Tom Curran was neither forward nor back and the ball fizzes past him to hit middle stump.

Brilliant slower ball to start from Nathan Ellis, just a single.
But the seamer then gives away a bonus run with a leg-side wide.

Tymal Mills
England pace bowler on BBC TwoThe batting side will be simplifying it and thinking if we can hit two sixes that is the game.
London Spirit will know they need wickets and have to bowl really well.

Need another 23 to win
Another dot ball to end a super five from Liam Dawson, even with that boundary in there.
Oval Invincibles need 23 from 15 balls. They'll back themselves to do that but it could be very tight...
