4:13pm Another stop-start Invincibles innings. The openers put on 42 but neither of them got into any sort of rhythm. The middle phase was a struggle too as the Spirit strangled the Invincibles with spin. Kapp top-scored with 32 and that, plus Franklin's cameo at the end, ensured the Invincibles made it past 100.

If that will be enough is another matter, though. The Spirit's bowling display was spearheaded by captain Dean, who also took a sensational catch to dismiss Kapp. Gray was not shabby either, with the others also playing their part. They will now fancy their chances of chasing this and getting to 20 points, which should improve their qualification prospects. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Eva Gray: Really pleased to contribute to a good bowling performance. Hopefully we can go and knock it off now. (On the conditions) It is definitely a hot one. Looks a good pitch. Bit of bounce as well, which helped me. (On the chase and if they are thinking about NRR) First and foremost, just get the job done. But if we can go and knock it off in 80-85 balls, that will be great.

Dean to Franklin, no run, big lbw shout, and given! Speared in full on middle and leg. Franklin looks for the sweep and misses. Gets pinned right in front and the umpire, after a bit of a look, raises his finger. Looked pretty adjacent but Franklin has reviewed because, well, why not. The Invincibles, either way, will only finish on 108. For what it is worth, the ball does seem very close to the glove, and UltraEdge returns a spike at that moment. Franklin remains unbeaten, but the score remains the same for the Invincibles!

This has been a handy cameo by Franklin so far. Can she finish it off well?

Dean to Franklin, FOUR, gets it away! Darted in full but also down leg. Franklin gets inside the line and helps it neatly past the fielder at short fine leg!
