  1. 6 runs

    Invincibles 126-1published at 72 balls

    Short from Daryl Mitchell, it's a slower ball too but Will Jacks isn't fooled, he waits for it and crunches it over square leg for another maximum!

    With the wickets in hand, and the way Will Jacks is striking, they should be looking at going for at least two runs a ball from now on.

    Here is Heinrich Klaasen's one six so far. You can expect a couple more if he's out there for much longer...

  4. Invincibles 119-1published at 70 balls

    Heinrich Klaasen pushes a single from the last ball of that Liam Dawson set.

    We've got 30 balls left in the Invincibles innings. Plenty of time for more fireworks from Klaasen and Will Jacks.

    Invincibles 118-1

    Impact was outside the line of off stump so Will Jacks survives. His blistering innings can continue.

    Have I just put the mockers on Will Jacks?

    Maybe. The London Spirit go upstairs for an lbw shout as Jacks misses with a reverse sweep off Liam Dawson and is hit on the boot.

  7. Invincibles 115-1published at 66 balls

    Liam Dawson is called for a wide as he tries to hide the first ball outside Will Jacks' off stump.

    The next one is that bit straight but still wide of off and middled over extra cover for four.

    There's no stopping Jacks at the moment.

    Jacks launched that with flair. Remarkable shot.

    Jacks 57, Klaasen 20

    Carved over the off side for six! Will Jacks just keeps going and keeps clearing the rope!

    That is another fantastic shot.

    Heinrich Klaasen thrashes at the last ball of Liam Dawson's set but this time the ball is stopped by the fielder on the boundary.

    Here comes Heinrich Klaasen!

    The right-hander sets himself and launches Liam Dawson back over his head for six!

  12. Invincibles 91-1published at 55 balls

    Tidy stuff from Dan Lawrence. The action might be unorthodox but he was landing the ball in decent areas - keep these two batters to five from five balls between them is no mean feat.

    With Jacks in the middle, Invincibles can propel themselves to a very decent total here.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Will Jackspublished at 54 balls

    Invincibles 88-1

    A single eased to long on by Will Jacks takes him to a 32-ball half-century.

    If he's still there at the end of the innings, I fancy the Invincibles will have a pretty imposing total.

    Dan Lawrence is coming on to bowl his off-spin. It's some action he's got, certainly not conventional...

  16. Postpublished at 19:09 British Summer Time 15 August 2023

    Will Jacks has shown his power already in this innings and with Heinrich Klaasen out to replace Jason Roy, there is no let up for the London Spirit bowlers...

  17. Invincibles 86-1published at 50 balls

    Heinrich Klaasen is the new batter and gets off the mark with a boundary, slapped through the leg side!

    Just a gentle, floating away swinger and Roy got a huge chunk of it. He will be irritated by that.

    He was trying to drill that through the covers.

    Edged and gone!

    Just a gentle away swinger from Daryl Mitchell with just that little bit of extra bounce.

    That's what does for Jason Roy as he tried demolish it through the off side. A nick behind and a regulation catch for Adam Rossington.

    Dan Worrall is bowled out, his 20 balls have gone for 23 runs but no wickets for him today.
