4:44 pm: Invincibles' bowlers showcased normative determinism, skittling out the batters from the get-go. Villiers started off with a couple in her back-to-back sets up front. Ismail's first ball removed Luff. Spirit's innings could only aim to catch-up from thereon, Kerr and Dean looked to rebuild but once the skipper left, the procession marched along. Villiers took four of the first five wickets. Kerr looked to soldier on but couldn't hang on with the pressure mounting. Eva Gray got her. And the tailenders couldn't wag, which means Invincibles are firm favourites. Find out if there's any surprise, Sruthi will be here to shepherd you through it.

It's all scrapping now, a run-a-ball would be good but that'll not be easy given Ismail's in.

Gray to Kerr, OUT, Kerr moves across, looks to lap-sweep. Misses, it hits her on the pad. Given out straight away, Kerr knows she's struck in front but reviews which is fair enough. It's hit her on the knee roll as she took her back leg across and front leg in front of middle and leg. Hawk-Eye says it's umpire's call and Kerr has to go.

Smale to Kerr, 1 run, OUT, Full, it's chipped over the bowler/ Long-on runs across and throws it, they look to take two. The bowler whips off the bails, it goes up to the TV ump, and Monaghan's short! That was an excellent pick up from Smale who was rushed back by instinct by the flat throw on the bounce, she plucked it off her left hand and led it to the stumps in time.
