- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 GONE! Goes again to the same area, only now there's a fielder out there who takes a comfortable catch 117/34.1 holes out to deep cover! Curran buzzes in and Makes Things Happen for Invincibles. Skiddy length ball and he skews his shot looking to hit over mid-off, ends up sending a spiralling catch out towards Cartwright, who doesn't really have to move 45/110.1 slogged to cover! Pepper hadn't looked too clued up on Narine's variations and falls to an ugly swipe. Stepped out, probably aiming to go straight but he was nowhere near the ball and skewed his shot to the edge of the ring 86/216.1 Yep! A wicket, as expected. Hose goes back to cut and does so straight to backward point 129/417.5 Another full toss, but straight down the throat of Sam Curran at long on. Topley misses his yorker but gets his man 136/616.2 And there he goes! Or does he? A review for LBW here. What a delivery first up - Narine getting the ball to come in from outside off stump and trap Wiese in the crease... And that's confirmed - hitting leg stump. 129/518.2 Straighter and better! Bravo charges, Curran adds a bit extra on this delivery and it's clothed out to Cartwright who jogs in for a catch at deep midwicket 138/7Extras5 (lb 4, w 1)TOTAL157/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Faf du Plessis, 4.1 ov), 2-86 (Michael Pepper, 10.1 ov), 3-117 (Adam Lyth, 14.2 ov), 4-129 (Adam Hose, 16.1 ov), 5-129 (David Wiese, 16.2 ov), 6-136 (John Simpson, 17.5 ov), 7-138 (Dwayne Bravo, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Oh my... Mistimed to mid on and the Oval goes quiet while Roy chunters to himself as he walks off 0/11.2 GONE! Heave and a miss! Well, not quite a miss: into the wicket and an under-edge goes through to the keeper 5/23.5 Well... this is interesting... LBW appeal as Bravo, from over the wicket, pings Rossouw on the pad who is down sweeping. Pitching outside leg might be an issue but it was very full. Review taking place... and it's just in line and hitting off stump! 21/312.1 dabbed into the covers and Cox is sent back, Simpson whips off the bails - this going to be out! Slower ball was dug out straight to du Plessis, who pirouetted and fired in a throw to the keeper with Cox unable to get back, despite a dive. Excellent work all-round from the Superchargers, and the game tips back in their direction 88/417.4 bowls him with the slower ball! HUGE moment, and Bravo is toe-tapping, hands-jiving in celebration... Wins the battle of wits with SCurran, who steps away to make room but is exposed by the lack of pace, as the ball rattles the top of middle stump 137/616.3 skyscraping hit but van der Merwe clings on! Cartwright skips out and looks for the straight slog, but gets under the ball and sends it a mile up. Very tough chance but Roela makes no mistake, falling back with the ball safely pouched against his chest 130/518.4 screamer from Roela! Taken at mid-off! Haynes was looking to clatter a back-of-a-length ball down the ground, thought he had got it past the man, only for van der Merwe to fly full length into the picture and hold on with the fingertips of one hand! 152/7Extras11 (lb 2, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL158/7 (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.14 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Jason Roy, 0.2 ov), 2-5 (Sunil Narine, 1.2 ov), 3-21 (Rilee Rossouw, 3.5 ov), 4-88 (Jordan Cox, 12.1 ov), 5-130 (Hilton Cartwright, 16.3 ov), 6-137 (Sam Curran, 17.4 ov), 7-152 (Jack Haynes, 18.4 ov)
