- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 special catch by Tall Paul at deep square leg! 93mph from Gleeson, on a length and angling across Rossouw. Whipped away into the leg side and looked for all money like the first six of the night, but Walter had other ideas, flinging himself to his right and taking a superb catch 19/13.3 worked straight to short midwicket! Little takes the huge wicket of Jacks and Originals are on fire! On a length, Jacks looked to whip through square leg but a leading edge flew to Lammonby, in very tight. Simple enough catch, and Invincibles lose their third 23/33.1 just short of a good length, Cox looks to pull but it's a top-edge out towards square leg, which Stubbs gets underneath. Rushed for pace by a hard-length ball, and Stubbs races in off the rope to settle underneath it 22/216.1 plinked to long-on where Hartley takes a ripper! 85mph, angling across Billings on a length. He looked to pull over the short side but was rushed on the shot, and Hartley scampered in, then slid on his knees to complete an excellent low catch. Billings swings his bat in frustration on his way off 115/511.2 cutter, wide outside off stump. Curran looks to swing him down the ground for six but doesn't get all of it, and picks out long-off running in! It hung in the air for a long while as Stubbs ran in, settled underneath it, and tumbled to the ground as he sealed the deal 79/418.3 banged in short, Cartwright ducks underneath it. Salt is celebrating... he's sure that the ball has hit Cartwright's bat on the way through, and there was definitely a noise. He convinces Evans to review... there's a scratch on UltraEdge! Nigel Llong thought it was shoulder, but Cartwright left his bat in the way as he ducked underneath it and it nudged the toe on the way through 135/717.3 dipping, slower-ball yorker down the leg side. Nudged away on the bounce and looks to have flicked it past Salt... but he gathers, throws underarm, and hits the bullseye! Superb keeping, and Curran is just short as he tries to scramble back on the dive! 131/619.2 banged in halfway down, and Briggs picks out Hartley in the deep! Invincibles' innings is ending with a whimper. Not out of the middle, and Hartley runs round to take a simple catch on the longer boundary 136/918.5 back of a length, Milnes swings blindly and plinks to mid-off! Josh Little has a five-for! Who'd have thought it? What a replacement signing he has turned out to be 135/8Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL143/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Rilee Rossouw, 2.3 ov), 2-22 (Jordan Cox, 3.1 ov), 3-23 (Will Jacks, 3.3 ov), 4-79 (Sam Curran, 11.2 ov), 5-115 (Sam Billings, 16.1 ov), 6-131 (Tom Curran, 17.3 ov), 7-135 (Hilton Cartwright, 18.3 ov), 8-135 (Matt Milnes, 18.5 ov), 9-136 (Danny Briggs, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 good length ball on fourth stump, goes for a slog and slaughters this but doesn't get enough elevation. Picks out Jordan Cox on the ring three yards in the rope at wide deep midwicket and takes a catch at chest height. If he's not there it's going to sail over the rope for a flat six. 44/23.3 full on middle, goes for a big heave and scuffs this too flat to midwicket in the ring, picks out Tom Curran who shuffles three yards to his right to take a catch at chest height reaching across his body. 34/112.2 flighted full on seventh stump, goes for a slog sweep and drills this flat to long-on, sharp catch taken at head height five yards in from the rope. There was plenty of power behind this and would have carried comfortably over the rope for six if the fielder wasn't there. Just didn't get the elevation on the shot. 88/318.2 slower ball lands back of a length on fourth stump, charges this for a heave and bottom edges this past the stumps to Billings, who takes off a glove and fires at the base of the stumps, connecting with Turner two yards short trying to set off for a single. No third umpire needed to decide this one. 131/4Extras9 (lb 1, w 8)TOTAL144/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.27 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Laurie Evans, 3.3 ov), 2-44 (Phil Salt, 5.3 ov), 3-88 (Tristan Stubbs, 12.2 ov), 4-131 (Ashton Turner, 18.2 ov)
