    The way Tom Curran is playing we're looking at 125 or 130. Which could be alright.

    Before those 10 balls, take a moment and watch this remarkable catch from Tymal Mills off his own bowling.

    Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

  3. Invincibles 112-7published at 90 balls

    Having looked to be completely deceived by Tymal Mills' slower ball, Nathan Sowter adjusts very well and hit the ball over the covers for a couple.

    He was on one leg as he played that shot but it was timed nicely!

    We'll have a strategic timeout before the last 10 balls of the innings.

  4. Invincibles 109-7published at 88 balls

    Three boundaries on the spin to start Tymal Mills five!

    The first is thumped down the ground by Tom Curran, the next is skewed off the outside edge past short third before the third is clubbed through square leg.

    These are all very useful runs for the Invincibles.

  5. Invincibles 97-7published at 85 balls

    Two dot balls to finish from Chris Jordan. It took a good stop in his follow through to be sure of that.

    In fact, what's this? The TV are showing an UltraEdge from the penultimate ball of that set which everyone assumed Tom Curran has played and missed at.

    UltraEdge suggests he actually got a tickle on. A bit of luck for Curran.

  6. Invincibles 97-7published at 83 balls

    Off the pad of Tom Curran and down the leg side, past Devon Conway for four.

    Chris Jordan just loses his line and those are very useful runs for the Invincibles.

  7. Invincibles 90-7published at 80 balls

    Two dot balls to end the Rehan Ahmed set.

    The young spinner is done and finishes with figures of 1-14 from his 20 balls. Impressive stuff.

    Whiteley run out (Vince/ Ahmed) 2 (Invincibles 90-7)

    Big mix-up and Ross Whiteley is run out by yards!

    Confusion as Tom Curran sends a leading edge to the right of James Vince extra cover and the batters try to come back for two.

    It was never on and Vince's slide and pinpoint throw make absolutely sure. Rehan Ahmed whips off the bail to complete the run out.

  9. Invincibles 89-6published at 75 balls

    The end of a very good Tymal Mills five that included a stunning one-handed catch to remove Sam Curran.

    It's Ross Whiteley and Tom Curran left with the task of dragging Oval Invincibles up to a competitive total over the next 25 balls.

    He caught it behind him. Wow.

    We've seen some incredible caught and bowled in this competition, but that was something special.

    Fortunately it hit his hand rather than his body.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 71 balls

    S Curran c & b Mills 8 (Invincibles 84-6)

    INCREDIBLE CATCH!

    Sam Curran smashes the ball back at Tymal Mills, it looks four the moment it leaves the bat but the bowler sticks out his right hand in his follow through and holds on to a stunning catch.

    Mills' arm was a full stretch and the ball might even have been behind him. Magnificent.

  13. Invincibles 84-5published at 70 balls

    Colin Ackermann gets through a very tidy set of off-spin.

    But just as everything looks to be going well for Southern Brave, Craig Overton pulls up holding his hamstring.

    He has bowled his 20 balls already but he's been a key part of this team so Brave won't want to lose him for the last part of the tournament.

  14. Invincibles 80-5published at 65 balls

    Tom Curran is out to join his younger brother Sam for the Invincibles. They've got a lot of work to do after that double-strike from Chris Jordan.

    The rebuilding process begins with five runs from Rehan Ahmed's latest five-ball set.

  15. wicket

    Billngs b Jordan 0 (Invincibles 75-5)

    Chris Jordan makes a mess of the stumps again!

    Two wickets in three balls for Jordan. It's the yorker this time and it goes straight through Sam Billings.

    Brilliant fast bowling from Jordan. Three wickets, all bowled.

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 58 balls

    Klaasen b Jordan 18 (Invinicibles 75-4)

    Middle stump out of the ground!

    There's nothing subtle about the delivery from Chris Jordan. Full, straight and fast to get through Heinrich Klaasen's defences.

  17. Invincibles 75-3published at 56 balls

    Freebie on the pads from Chris Jordan and Heinrich Klaasen just tickles it away fine.

    A third boundary in four balls for the South African.

  18. Invincibles 71-3published at 55 balls

    Four more! Thrashed over extra cover by Heinrich Klaasen.

    He looks like he is starting to find some rhythm and timing...

  19. Invincibles 67-3published at 53 balls

    Not quite a catching opportunity as Heinrich Klaasen pulls the ball out to deep mid-wicket but Colin Ackermann went for it.

    The ball catches him on the end of the finger and sneaks through for a much-needed Invincibles boundary.

    Chris Jordan needed just four balls to claim his first wicket of the innings as he pegged back Jason Roy's middle stump...
