- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 nailed... but straight back to the bowler! Winfield-Hill stands and stares, as Glenn celebrates gleefully. It was a low chance, a reaction catch in Glenn's follow through, but she kept her composure to cling on. Big wicket for Spirit in the first set after the powerplay 37/22.1 tossed up, spins past the inside edge to hit the front pad - given! Scholfield plays around Dean's first ball and Spirit have the breakthrough. Just a smidge of turn, stayed a little low to thump the shin in front of middle and leg, good enough for umpire Mark Newell. There's no review from Scholfield, which tells you what she thought, and ball-tracking subsequently confirms it would have clipped the stumps 21/114.4 wide line, and Capsey has somehow nicked behind! She could barely reach the ball, another slow legcutter out towards the blue lines... but she tried anyway and there was an audible "click" as it went through past the toe end of the bat, up goes the finger. Gibson has been erratic but breaks the stand 82/315.2 slog-swept... picks out the fielder! Struck it cleanly but straight to Lanning on the rope! Kapp departs trying to lift the rate and Spirit will feel they can put this innings in a stranglehold now, with both set batters going in the space of four balls 83/418.5 launched... but doesn't achieve escape velocity! Gibson pockets a more straightforward chance this time. Harris looking to go over the leg side but gets more height than she wanted and it comes down inside the rope at deep midwicket 110/717.2 heaved leg side, straight to deep backward square leg! Lanning is again in position to take the catch, this time running in off the rope. Gibson picks up another as Spirit keep a grip on things 92/518.2 slogged leg side - brilliantly held by Gibson! She's missed a couple today but that is superbly done, racing in and sliding low across the practice pitches to hold a steepler from Villiers 105/619.1 holes out first ball! Dean holds a running, diving take at wide long-on to send back MacDonald-Gay. Spirit chip out the eighth wicket of the innings 110/819.5 beats the bat, Redmayne does the rest! Gray picks up a second wicket of the final set as Smale stepped out of her ground to be stumped from the 100th ball of a stuttering Invincibles innings 113/9Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL113/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.65 per 6 ball)Did not bat: RE SlaterFall of wickets: 1-21 (Paige Scholfield, 2.1 ov), 2-37 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 5.3 ov), 3-82 (Alice Capsey, 14.4 ov), 4-83 (Marizanne Kapp, 15.2 ov), 5-92 (Amanda-Jade Wellington, 17.2 ov), 6-105 (Mady Villiers, 18.2 ov), 7-110 (Laura Harris, 18.5 ov), 8-110 (Ryana MacDonald-Gay, 19.1 ov), 9-113 (Sophia Smale, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 wonderful catch! Booming outswing on a fourth-stump line, Lanning opens the face looking to guide the ball through deep third, but it's a very thin tickle, as Winfield-Hill flings herself to her right, and clings on in both hands 35/17.5 huge swipe, and stumped! Beautiful flight and dip from Wellington, tempting Griffith into a gallop and slap, but the ball dropped like a stone, ripped through her gate, and Winfield-Hill whipped off the bails! 42/2Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL116/2 (18.1 Overs, RR: 6.37 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Meg Lanning, 5.3 ov), 2-42 (Cordelia Griffith, 7.5 ov)
