9.33pm: Invincibles own the block with their second London derby win of the season, and they are now four points clear at the top of the table. But it was an incredible finish, Spirit falling one hit short of pulling off the joint-highest successful chase in the Hundred. There's still plenty to play for, with second to eighth separated by just one point. We'll be back for more tomorrow, cheerio until then. Bye!

9.28pm: Match Hero is Will Jacks for his 68 off 42 and two wickets: "Up and down, crazy finish, great game. Thought we'd won it twice, lucky to get over the line. When I came on to bowl I new I'd be under the pump. Try to be unpredictable, think how I would as a batter. Sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn't. [Batting] Was tough to start, they bowled well. There was a bit of zip in the surface and I had to fight through the first 20 balls, then was able to counterattack when the ball stopped swinging. Two games defending, they're massive for the team, knowing we can perform under pressure. Got to finish well and hopefully progress to the knockouts."

9.26pm: Matt Roller has this from the ground: "The ball deflected off the stumps, went to short third, Sowter ran all the way from deep square to field it and throw at non-striker's and break the stumps!" Doesn't look like Wood and Critchley tried to run at all. What a crazy finish!

Curran to Wood, no run, pinpoint yorker, bowls him! Wood can't be out but the dot is good enough for Curran and Invincibles. He points to the umpire, the check is complete... Invincibles win by two runs!

And now the equation is three from one, but with Wood on strike for the free hit! Two will get them a tie (no super sets at this stage...)

Curran to Critchley, (no ball) 1 run, full and wide, 85mph and swatted along the carpet to long-off! Curran holds his nerve... or does he? This is a front-foot no-ball! The TV umpire looks at it for an age, before Russell Warren signals to the crowd. Oval celebrations cut short, Curran will have to bowl this again

Breathless stuff! Critchley got back for two, but needs to hit another six off the last ball to win

Curran to Critchley, 2 runs, boshed over the leg side, sailing all the way... until Whiteley Supermans into view to palm it back one-handed! Full length, in the air, fantastic work. Saves four runs, and possibly the W for his team

Eight from two

Curran to Critchley, SIX, pace on, and dumped into the crowd! Critchley sets himself and mows a length ball off his pads over deep backward square leg. Spirit are alive!
