- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 full, straight, smashes into the timbers! Jacks fails to make contact with another swipe down the ground and hears the death rattle. Stone is on the mark and in the wickets, 88mph and rattling leg stump as it came down the slope and through the gate. Big early wicket for Spirit 4/113.1 slogged... straight to deep backward square leg! Decided to take on the longer hit but doesn't get anywhere near enough of it and Stone sets himself to take the catch at chest height. Critchley breaks the stand 80/38.1 reverse-slogged... straight to deep point! Cox's laboured knock comes to tame end as he hoicks the ball up and away, but into the buckets of Shimron Hetmyer coming in for a good, low catch. Not quite the sparkling knock to mark his Test call-up he perhaps envisaged - but he might be happy enough to get back to the changing room and see the doc 41/217.2 86mph, back of a length, hacked into the midwicket region for one 109/419.3 chipped back to the bowler! So the man called in off the bench after his skipper's struggles manages two from three balls. But the end result has been decent for Invincibles. Ellis sticks with length and takes the top-edged swipe comfortably in his follow through 144/5Extras20 (b 1, lb 5, nb 4, w 10)TOTAL147/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Will Jacks, 2.2 ov), 2-41 (Jordan Cox, 8.1 ov), 3-80 (Dawid Malan, 13.1 ov), 4-109 (Sam Billings, 17.2 ov), 5-144 (Donovan Ferreira, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 Strikes first ball! Pepper sweeps immediately, straight into the hands of Sowter at deep backward square leg 42/25.2 Struck on the bad, huge appeal... and given! Jennings opts for an immediate review, having got himself into a tangle as the ball skipped on while he was moving onto the back foot to hit across the line... and it's umpire's call on impact with the middle and leg bail! 39/19.3 Gone! Another flat delivery, this one quicker and fuller, totally does for Pope who skips down and fails to get to the pitch of the ball. Doesn't bounce match, but Pope has just run past that as it clatters into the middle of middle stump 64/316.5 Stumped! Into the pitch, not quite short but too short to charge. Lawrence runs past it, Billings does the rest. A big risk from Spirit's captain doesn't come off. Did he need to do that? 115/515.1 And Hetmyer goes! Jordan Cox takes the catch out in the deep after the left-hander tries to slog-sweep to the biggest side. Full ball, perhaps a little too full for the shot, but Zampa has his man 100/418.1 AND CURRAN HAS A HAT-TRICK! Goes full and wide, Russell has to throw the kitchen sink at it and gets a nick through to Billings, who himself is stood at first slip! What an all-round display from Sammy C! And that's four wickets for Curran without conceding a run! Game set and match, folks. 115/917.2 Chipped straight to Lammonby at deep midwicket! Leg stump half volley, right out of the screws, but the fielder does not have to move a muscle! If he'd tried to hit that for six, he would have got it! 115/617.4 Full, on middle stump, lifted down the ground... and straight into the hands of Jordan Cox! Full pace, that time, and Dawson had the right idea going straight down the ground, but can only toe it 115/717.5 Make that four wickets in the last six balls! Ugly, ugly hack across the line. Curran goes straight, pings middle and off. 115/818.5 He can! Worrall steps across, gets pinned in front of middle and leg and the umpire's finger goes up! What an outstanding performance from Curran - starting with 51 from 22 then 5 for 16! with a hat-trick in there for good measure! Those are the sixth best figures in the men's Hundred as well. Oval Invincibles win by 30 runs with 5 balls to spare... 117/10Extras18 (b 4, lb 4, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL117 all out (19 Overs, RR: 6.15 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Keaton Jennings, 5.2 ov), 2-42 (Michael Pepper, 6.1 ov), 3-64 (Ollie Pope, 9.3 ov), 4-100 (Shimron Hetmyer, 15.1 ov), 5-115 (Dan Lawrence, 16.5 ov), 6-115 (Matt Critchley, 17.2 ov), 7-115 (Liam Dawson, 17.4 ov), 8-115 (Olly Stone, 17.5 ov), 9-115 (Andre Russell, 18.1 ov), 10-117 (Daniel Worrall, 18.5 ov)
