Hello! Colin Munro has just smashed Nathan Sowter over long-on for back-to-back sixes.

They were two huge hits.

Skipper Lewis Gregory comes out to join Colin Munro with Rockets in a bit of a hole.

Adam Zampa ends his set by getting one to flash past the outside edge of Munro's bat. The Aussie is 1-7 from his 10 balls so far.

Joe Root didn't last long but still treated us to a now trademark scoop for six.

It is twin spin as Will Jacks bowls the next set.

He concedes just two runs off his first four balls before Tom Kohler-Cadmore absolutely nails the next delivery into the crowd for a huge six.

That was massive.

Tom Curran comes into the attack and gifts a free hit after clipping the stumps on his bowling follow through.

Sam Hain takes advantage by carting the ball over mid-off for four, holding the pose on one knee for good measure.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Sam Hain are the new batters tasked with a rebuilding job. But Johnson and Atkinson are edging ever closer to 90mph here so it isn't easy out there.

Hain smashes back-to-back fours through third man and backward point to settle him down a bit though.

There's the Root scoop!

He tried and failed the previous ball, but nails it the next delivery and sends it flying over the wicketkeeper's head and over the rope for six.

I think even the Invincibles fans in the crowd enjoyed that from the England man.

England newboy Gus Atkinson will open at the other end.

This guy is quick, very quick.

A freebie from Spencer Johnson as a leg side delivery flicks off Joe Root's pad and away for four byes.

Root then gets off the mark with his classic open face push towards backward point.

Alex Hales then goes for a huge swing and a miss as Johnson arrows the ball across the right-hander.

It is a glorious evening in London with no threat of rain. A welcome sight after all the wet weather earlier in the tournament.

Left-armer Spencer Johnson will open the bowling for Invincibles, with Joe Root and Alex Hales fronting up for Trent Rockets.

There's plenty on the line this evening.

Oval Invincibles are two points clear at the top of the men's table and are guaranteed a top-three finish. But a win here will confirm top spot and automatic qualification to Sunday's final.

Trent Rockets are currently third but need to win to have a chance of reaching the knockouts, but even then they have to wait on other results to see if that will be enough.

Oval Invincibles: Will Jacks, Jason Roy, Tawanda Muyeye, Sam Curran, Sam Billings, Jimmy Neesham, Tom Curran, Gus Atkinson, Nathan Sowter, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson.

Trent Rockets: Alex Hales, Joe Root, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Colin Munro, Sam Hain, Lewis Gregory, Daniel Sams, Ish Sodhi, Luke Wood, Matt Carter, Sam Cook.

Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings: "We would have batted as well, it's something we've done well throughout the tournament and knowing the conditions here it is something we'd have preferred. But it is a good opportunity to get two points doing it the other way round.

"It is massive game for them and for us to confirm top spot. That would be massive. They are a good side.

"Throughout the year there has been a combination of different people standing up. There has been big contributions all the way up and down."

Trent Rockets captain Lewis Gregory: "We've batted pretty well throughout the tournament so far so hopefully we can get a big score on the board and defend it.

"We've said more of the same really. There has been tight games so it just tidying up small things, probably in the field.

"It is a high-scoring ground and a fast outfield so playing in your zone."

Lewis Gregory calls correctly and decides to set a total.

Oval Invincibles and Trent Rockets have already served up a thriller in the women's competition. What about the men?

The second game of the day at The Oval begins at 18:30 BST.

First up, let's bring you news of the toss.
