Invincibles 20-0published at 15 balls
Roy 11, Jacks 13
Full toss, wide of off by George Garton and that allows Will Jacks to free his arms.
He throws everything at it and the ball slides off the outside half of the bat and over short third for four.
Invincibles 18-0published at 12 balls
Smashed over the leg side for six by Will Jacks!
Banged into the surface by George Garton, Jacks took it on and cleared the long boundary square of the wicket.
That's a big old hit!

BBC radio commentatorBrave looking up for it here. They always get that extra boost playing at home. It's become quite the hostile environment for the opposition.
Invincibles 12-0published at 10 balls
What happened there?!
Jason Roy goes for a scoop off Craig Overton and lifts the ball over short fine leg for four.
The fielder was Tymal Mills but he turned his back on it. The sun may have been in his eyes but whatever the issue, he clearly couldn't see it.
It looked to be a long way over his head in any case.
Invincibles 7-0published at 7 balls
Quick single taken by the Invincibles after Jason Roy drops the ball at his feet.
Craig Overton runs through but his underarm throw is too high. Will Jacks might have been in trouble with a direct hit.
It was certainly close.
Invincibles 5-0published at 5 balls
Another cracker from George Garton to beat Will Jacks - who is sporting his bright orange boots again.
I fancy there may have been a tickle on that from Jacks but it was a slower ball and it bounces before it reaches Sam Billings.
Craig Overton will bowl the next five.
Invincibles 4-0published at Ball 1
George Garton is on the money first ball. It bounces up from just back of a length and takes the edge!
Jason Roy got just enough on it to take the ball wide of the wicketkeeper and away for four.
That'll get the Brave bowlers interested!

There is a good crowd in on what looks like a lovely evening good at the Ageas Bowl.
They give a warm welcome to the Southern Brave players as they make their way through the thick yellow and pink smoke and onto the pitch.

Image source, Getty ImagesTymal Mills has been in superb form for Southern Brave in this year's tournament but Oval Invincibles have two batters who have fared well against him in the past.
Jason Roy has scored 74 runs from just 39 balls against Mills and been dismissed just once.
Meanwhile, Will Jacks boasts an incredible strike-rate of 261 against the left-arm quick, hitting 94 runs from 36 balls - although Mills has got him out twice.
Mills doesn't always bowl in the powerplay but if he does, or if the Invincibles openers stick around, there could be fireworks...

Southern Brave captain James Vince: "We don't mind bowling first. It is the same wicket but we'll try and replicate what we did the other night.
"We want to be playing on good pitches but the ground staff have put a lot of effort in.
"It is getting towards the business end and it is in our hands."

Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings: "We feel like batting is the best way, it's how we've won most of our games. It is about getting a score on the board, we have an idea of how the pitch will play, it is about how we adapt.
"Different guys have stepped up at different times. Every game it has been somebody else.
"We've got a pretty clear blueprint of how we want to go about it."
