9.50 pm: Well that's that for the Hundred action today. Invincibles have shot up to second on the points table. We have just the final round of league games remaining and it's going to be mighty exciting. Till then, this is Saurabh Somani, signing off on behalf of Hemant, Chandan and Ranjith.
Laurie Evans: Nice to get running in the tournament. Lot of guys have been putting in performances, so it's nice to finally arrive. I suppose been playing this game a while and I take pride in finishing games off. (nerves?) Yeah! I missed out on a few full tosses, so I was glad to put that last one away. Home advantage is huge, I want to thank everyone for coming out. Great to see the tournament thriving as it should.
9.45 pm: Evans ends with 67 off 37, having played a blinder. Came in with wickets having fallen, and teed off with one brilliant shot after another. His stand with Will Jacks was brilliant, but he had to stay and take the team home when Jacks was out, and wickets kept falling. Didn't matter to Evans, who stuck to his game, and finished off the chase. Brilliant, brilliant hand.
S Mahmood run out 1 (5m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
now Mahmood on strike.
Spirit are hanging in there. 13 off 10 needed, and Evans is losing support at the other end.
