Wow. That was nailed over extra cover.
It's beautiful to watch but also quite scary. He hits the ball so, so hard.

It's not a six this time but Will Jacks has just bludgeoned the ball over extra cover again!
That absolutely flew to the boundary. Dan Lawrence in the covers will be glad not to have got in the way of that one!

Shot of the day so far? Will Jacks' six over extra cover was a bit tasty...
Invincibles 71-0published at 40 balls
With London Spirit in need of a wicket, they call for a strategic timeout at the end of Matt Critchely expensive opening five.
Impressive acceleration from the Invincibles after failing to score a run from the first six balls.

BBC Test Match SpecialThe power and elevation was spectacular there from Will Jacks.
Invincibles 68-0published at 38 balls
Too short from Matt Critchley and Will Jacks goes back to wallop it high over wide long on for a big, big six!
There's a split second where it looked like it might be more up than out but no more than that - it went a long way back into the crowd.
Invincibles 58-0published at 35 balls
Just three singles from the last three balls of the Liam Dawson set, eight from it in total.
More spin to come with Matt Critchley readying himself to bowl the next.

The Oval Invincibles have started to motor after a slow start. A free hit allowed Jason Roy to kick into gear as he pulled Chris Wood for six...
Invincibles 55-0published at 32 balls
Spin now with Liam Dawson into the attack and Jason Roy reverse sweeps his second ball, up and over backward point for four.

BBC Test Match SpecialNathan Ellis has got a very unusual action. It starts with a little skip like a startled horse.
Invincibles 49-0published at 30 balls
Roy 14, Jacks 27
Plenty of slower balls in the set from Nathan Ellis and - after that first-ball six - they work rather better.
It's a pace on delivery to finish and another swing and a miss from Will Jacks.

Wow, brilliant shot from Will Jacks as he nails a slower ball from Nathan Ellis over extra cover for six!
Fantastic shot.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorThe run rate is going along nicely but the most important thing is that the wickets column remains empty.
Invincibles 41-0published at 25 balls
Slower ball from Chris Wood to end the powerplay, it's flicked for a single by Jason Roy.
After a slow start, Oval Invincibles have gathered some momentum in the past 10 balls.

Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt looks like the sort of pitch where it's easier to help the ball on its way if there's any pace of width, rather than trying to force it down the ground.
They seem to have figured that out now.
Invincibles 38-0published at 23 balls
After Will Jacks finds the boundary from the first ball of the set from Chris Wood, a front-foot no-ball gives Jason Roy a free hit to get stuck into.
And get stuck into it, he does, heaving it away for a flat six!

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was like a father and son running after that ball between Zak Crawley and Matthew Wade. There's a pretty big height difference.
Invincibles 25-0published at 20 balls
Just one from the last two balls of that extended 10-ball set from Dan Worrall - another play and miss from Will Jacks before he guides a single to deep third where Zak Crawley fields.

Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's an intelligent option from Will Jacks, even though he has hit it into his face.
He's used the pace to just help it on its way. They are just recovering from this slow start after getting used to the pitch.
