    Brydon Carse is a really strong athlete. He's got pretty much everything in the shorter format, he can hit the ball out of the ground and bowl fast.

    Every team needs someone like Brydon Carse in their team.

  2. Invincibles 82-2published at 55 balls

    Heinrich Klaasen looks to go big again and thumps Brydon Carse over the off side.

    He doesn't get all of it but the ball lands safely in the gap and he settles for two.

    Good set from Carse.

    Here's how Jason Roy was dismissed to the first ball of the game.

    It is the second time he has been out to the first ball of the Invincibles' innings this season.

    Just one from the last ball of the Adil Rashid set. We're at the halfway stage and Oval Invincibles look on course for a decent total.

    That is a fantastic shot.

    Adil Rashid has probably over-pitched there and Klaasen has just climbed into it.

    Don't ignore the data... Heinrich Klaasen has launched Adil Rashid over deep mid-wicket for a huge six!

    The Superchargers are going against the stats, Adil Rashid is coming back on...

    All the stats suggest that Adil Rashid shouldn't bowl at Heinrich Klaasen.

    In T20s and the Hundred this year, Klaasen has a strike-rate of 209 v leg-spinners scoring 13 sixes & six fours in 10 innings.

    He has scored 146 runs from 70 balls and been dismissed three times.

    Heinrich Klaasen was in supreme form the other night, smashing the Manchester Originals around the park but he starts with a dot ball here.

    The full toss seems to be the best ball to bowl on this ground today!

    That is a big wicket. It is an excellent breakthrough for the Superchargers.

    Taken this time!

    Callum Parkinson makes the key breakthrough with a low full toss that Will Jacks can only miscue to long on, halfway back.

    Jacks couldn't make the most of the chance in the previous set.

    In the modern game you expect that to be taken.

    That is a huge moment. It is a great opportunity to get rid of a player who is in the form that Will Jacks is in.

    Six more but this one should have been a wicket.

    Will Jacks carves the ball over the off side again but in front of square this time. Matt Short is waiting on the boundary, he has to jump for it but lets the ball go through his hands for another maximum.

    That could be costly.

    That is a ridiculous shot.

    It is predictable what will be bowled but to make room and access that part of the ground reminds me of a cricket game.

    There is no reason he should be getting that there.

    He is amazing player of pace and that is a sensational shot.

    Somehow, Will Jacks has managed to get the ball over the rope at deep third - it looks like he just opened the face and tried to guide it but the ball sailed into the crowd!

    Ridiculous.

  18. Invincibles 53-1published at 35 balls

    Really good from Adil Rashid. Will Jacks and Jordan Cox were carting the ball to all parts, he comes on and suddenly there is a sense of calm.

    Just two from that five.

  19. Invincibles 52-1published at 32 balls

    Ripper! A beauty from Adil Rashid second ball that turns sharply past Will Jacks' edge. The England leg-spinner really is a class act.
