Former England captain on BBC TwoSam Billings has played nicely. This partnership just needs to develop for a few balls. We know these two can find the boundary.

London Spirit need to keep Sam Billings off strike, especially while Tom Curran is getting himself set.
A couple of singles to end Liam Dawson's five. But he's going to jog down to the other end and continue for five more.

Former England captain on BBC TwoThat is the shot of the night for me. Glorious.
The pressure was just starting to build. He's just said 'I'm going to do it myself'.

S Curran lbw b Critchley 34 (Invincibles 93-5)
Gone! This London derby takes another twist!
Slightly shorter and slower from Matt Critchley, Sam Curran missed with the shot off the back foot and was hit in front of leg stump.
Three reds on ball-tracking and Sam Curran has to go. His brother Tom replaces him.

Oval Invincibles' Jason Roy speaking to BBC Two: "If we keep at least one of those in we should do it, but cricket can be a funny game."

Decent five for Oval Invincibles after that boundary to start it, nine runs form it in all.
It's not a great pitch for batting but 46 from 30 balls? You've got to fancy the Invincibles to get over the line from here.

Super shot from new batter Sam Billings to end Nathan Ellis' set.
It's too full and the Oval Invincibles captain drives elegantly back down the ground for four.

Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC TwoExcellent from Ellis there, he changed the field. Jordan Cox tried to hit it where the fielder came from and used the pace. The tumbling Adam Rossington takes a smart catch.
