9.12pm That is a wrap from The Oval. Invincibles have played all their eight fixtures, and barring miracles, there's nothing left to play for for the rest, other than pride for the bottom five and practice for Superchargers and Brave. Good night!

9.08pm Wow. Invincibles march ever onwards. 24 points from eight games, and a net run-rate that basically requires Brave and Superchargers to win with 100 balls to spare if they want to usurp them at the top of the pile. The Currans and Sowter did the needful with the ball, before Jacks, Cox, SCurran and Ferreira bossed the chase. A target of 153 was at least 30 short of par, but they'd have needed 200-plus to deny this chasing team. A Hundred three-peat surely beckons now.

The Meerkat Match Hero is Jacks: "We were struggling to see the ball today, so picked up my catch late. Felt brilliant with the bat, and Coxy made it easy for me. We've been looking for that top spot, we know how important it is. We've still got things to improve on... but looking forward to Sunday."

Dawson to Ferreira, SIX, wide line, smashed contemptuously over long-off! And that is the end of that.
15.2

Dawson to Ferreira, FOUR, wide line, under-edged, nutmegs the keeper! What's a team to do? Bowled well, slower and wider, Ferreira had a big yahoo, and gets a dribbled four for his sins!

Dawson to Billings, 1 run, slides into the legs, nudged to the on-side

Twenty five balls to come... don't think we'll need them all

END OF OVER:
15 | 9 Runs | OI-M: 142/4 (11 runs required from 25 balls, RR: 9.46, RRR: 2.20)

  • Jamie Overton2.5-0-35-1

Alex: "just a quick question. does Kane Williamson have the most luxurious beard of current international cricketers?" Given Moeen Ali has retired, it's hard to think of a contemporary to match him

14.5

Wood to Ferreira, 1 run, fuller length, almost a yorker, dug out to the on-side, good stop at midwicket
14.4

Wood to Ferreira, SIX, there's one of them! Pace off, a murderous tonk across the line, strong base, fast arms, heaved up and over deep midwicket, out of the length ball

Niranjan: "The runs that Overton scores. The runs that Overton gives. There you go, you will find a thriller of a contest there!!! A man competing with himself!!" Best contest of the night...

14.3
2
Wood to Ferreira, 2 runs, full again, biffed through the arc to wide long-on, another two as the requirement ticks down to a three-shot game...
