A slower ball from Daniel Sams completely deceives him and the ball flies off a leading edge past a diving Colin Munro, and all the way for four.

He's dealing in sixes!
It's Lewis Gregory's turn this time as Billings latches onto a short ball and races to 36 from just 18 balls.
Invincibles 70-3published at 55 balls left
Target 149
Sam Billings is playing beautifully here. He clips one off his pads for an effortless four, helped out by a bit of sloppy fielding from Luke Wood who slides past it.
That was pure timing, while the next is power as Matt Carter drops short and he pulls for another boundary off the back foot.
Invincibles are eyeing up a place in the final, and the captain is leading the way.
Invincibles 60-3published at 60 balls left
Target 149
Hmm, I'm not sure we can call this a drop.
Billings absolutely leathers one in the region of Lewis Gregory at cover and I think it's fairer to say that he's saved four, than to say that he's dropped it.
It was absolutely nailed.
Invincibles 59-3published at 61 balls left
Oh my word, even bigger.
Sam Billings is enjoying the spin of Ish Sodhi here.
That one was 112 metres?!
Invincibles 53-3published at 63 balls left
Oh, that's huge.
Sam Billings breaks the shackles by depositing Ish Sodhi into the crowd... where it's taken! That could be the biggest celebration of the day so far.
Invincibles 44-3published at 65 balls left

Invincibles can't afford too many more sets like this. They need 105 from 65 balls.
Invincibles 40-3published at 70 balls left
Target 149
Lewis Gregory wrestles back a little bit of control for the Rockets, conceding just three runs from his five balls.

Jason Roy started nicely before the three wickets tumbled.
Who's favourites here?
Invincibles 37-3published at 75 balls left
Target 149
And again!
Will Jacks gets on the front foot this time and launches another six into the crowd. That one was a whopping 98 metres.
That concludes a crazy powerplay.
Invincibles 29-3published at 79 balls left
Target 149
Will Jacks has just been watching from the other end as three wickets tumbled in three balls.
"I'll do it myself," he seems to say, by whacking Luke Wood into the stands with ease.

A sensational five balls from Daniel Sams, taking two wickets and conceding just two runs.

Ahhh! Sam Billings solidly defends the hat-trick ball.
WICKETpublished at 83 balls left
S Curran b Sams 0 (Invincibles 21-3)
Team hat-trick! Sam Curran is cleaned up!
A beauty from Sams, just clipping the top of off stump as Curran can do nothing but nod in appreciation as he trudges off.
Can Daniel Sams get the individual hat-trick!?
WICKETpublished at 84 balls left
Muyeye c Sodhi b Sams 0 (Invincibles 21-2)
Two in two!
Daniel Sams has a wicket with his first ball as Tawanda Muyeye tries to help a short ball on its way to the boundary but picks out Ish Sodhi at short fine leg, who takes a spectacular catch running backwards!
Trent Rockets are on the charge.
WICKETpublished at 85 balls left
Roy c Root b Wood 19 (Invincibles 21-1)
It looks like a beautiful shot... but Jason Roy picks out the man on the boundary!
Luke Wood goes a little too straight and Roy flicks it off his legs with the most exquisite timing. Everyone thinks it's going for six but Lewis Gregory's field placement is perfect, and Joe Root takes the catch at mid-wicket.
Invincibles 16-0published at 90 balls left
Target 148
No Daniel Sams yet.
Sam Cook is introduced, and is ramped for four by Jason Roy second ball.
And Roy repeats the shot for six from the next! Incredible innovation.
How's stat?!published at 20:00 British Summer Time 21 August 2023
Image source, Getty ImagesTrent Rockets captain Lewis Gregory might want to hide left-arm seamer Daniel Sams until Jason Roy and Will Jacks are out.
Jacks has faced 11 balls from Sams in three innings and has smashed 25 runs off them, at a strike-rate of 227.27.
Sams has bowled seven deliveries to Roy, but the England opener has taken 15 runs off them, at a strike-rate of 214.28.
Invincibles 2-0published at 95 balls left
Target 149
A watchful start for both Will Jacks and Jason Roy against Luke Wood, who is bang on target.
Roy does well to block out a brilliant yorker, right on his toes.
