9.20pm: Well, that wasn't bad for a Friday night's entertainment. The Superchargers chase ebbed and flowed, but it eventually drained away in the face of some top death bowling from Invincibles. The visitors claim the points, a third win from four for Sam Billings' side, and they go clear at the top of the standings
Jordan Cox is named Match Hero for his 73 off 38: "Yeah, very good game, very tight. Tom [Banton] batted outstanding and at one point I thought we were going to lose. So to get the win, very nice. [Thoughts when batting with Klaasen] Get him on strike. [Depth] If you get out, the next person can come in. We have great depth in our team. [Secret to form] Play golf before, but don't ask about the result. We've had a core for three years, to have that's been a bonus. When you're winning, you're flying as a team, so we want to ride it."
Right, that's a wrap from us, we'll be back for tomorrow's double double-header from Lord's and Cardiff. Join us for that. Bye!

Atkinson to Parkinson, no run, tip-toes in and goes back of a length, swing and a miss from Parkinson. Invincibles win a thriller by nine runs!

Atkinson to Parkinson, 2 no balls, well, there's one! Short ball over the batter, that's two no-balls!

Atkinson to Rashid, OUT, full and wide, Rashid connects... but picks out deep cover! The crowd went up initially, thinking that Rashid might have got it away over the rope. But the cheers died as Whiteley held it comfortably, before he turns and shows them his belly, for some reason

Two sixes will do it...

Atkinson to Rashid, 1 wide, shuffles across, Atkinson goes wide... but beyond the tramlines, and called!

Atkinson to Carse, OUT, dug in and sent spiralling to deep midwicket! Carse flailed across the line but his hook went high into the leg side, not enough to get over the rope and Cox holds it securely before quietly gesturing to the crowd
BA Carse c Cox b Atkinson 12 (10m 6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 200.00
Superchargers still kicking here

Atkinson to Carse, FOUR, full on off, 90mph and nailed over mid-off! Slot ball, Carse makes room and gets hold of a powerful elevated drive
