7.45pm: Well, that was 100 balls of cricket! And the Invincibles made 145 runs, which looks below par, given 135 wasn't enough in the women's game last night. The pitch does seem a smidge on the tired side, though, and that won't aid a smooth chase. The Originals will be happier heading off, and they've got some power to throw at this, with Salt, Buttler and Munro all keen to tee off at the top of the order. There could be (more) fireworks. Join Miller again shortly
Here's Matt Parkinson: "The crowd was fantastic, to play the first game here was great. Lads were a bit confused at times but good fun. [Ten consecutively?] We went with the policy of bowling five balls, if it went well, we'd stay on. It's tough, Calvin bowled a great five balls, to bowl another five is tough. [Chase them?] Think so, decent pitch. The lads don't know, but we'll see."
