10:27 pm Invincibles hold on in this rain-shortened match and now move up into a tie for second place.
Shreyas HM: ""They can't be penalized any more than they have so no issues taking their sweet time." --- to prevent this, they should be made to bring in more fielders for every X minutes after the cut-off." The TV commentators have said precisely that. Something for rules makers to consider for the future.
Match Hero is Jason Roy: "We had a lot to prove tonight. We've come off the back of some disappointing performances so to right some wrongs tonight was pleasing. The bowlers had it quite tough tonight with wet runups. We were impressive tonight with bat and ball."
That's it from a long long day at The Oval. Thanks for sticking with us. Come back tomorrow for another doubleheader from the Hundred. Take care!

Curran to Gregory, FOUR, bouncer on fifth stump, top edges a hook that lands safely at deep fine leg before dribbling into the rope.
So the Invincibles won't wind up paying a big price for the slow over rate in the end.

Curran to van der Gugten, 1 run, slower length ball pulled to midwicket for one.
12.3
W
Curran to Gregory, 1 run, OUT, short on fifth stump, slaps a pull to midwicket, they want to come back for two but Gregory falls down at the non-striker's end trying to do so and Carter is hung out to dry. The relay to Billings at the striker's end was actually quite poor, took him 5 yards away from the stumps, but he still had time to run and take the bails off before Carter could get back in.

Curran to Carter, 1 run, length ball on fifth stump at 76 mph, Carter tries to slap this over mid-off ala Rashid, but a toe edge skittles to short third man.
Carter arrives.

Curran to Rashid Khan, OUT, starts with a slower ball full on fifth stump at 69 mph, Rashid tries to heave this down the ground but skies this over mid-off. Easy catch for Laurie Evans on the ring. He was there instead of being on the rope to tempt Rashid into the shot, mission accomplished.
Rashid Khan c Evans b Curran 16 (6b 0x4 2x6) SR: 266.66
Tom Curran will bowl the final five balls. We're already 11 minutes past the official cutoff time....
END OF OVER:12 | 17 Runs | TR-M: 109/6 (18 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 9.08, RRR: 18.00)

A shocked hush comes across the ground now as a strategic timeout is called. Can the Invincibles really blow this? 17 runs off five balls to win now for the Rockets. In case you're just joining us, the Invincibles are paying for a slow over rate and have had to field with an extra fielder inside the ring since there were 11 balls left in the chase.
Alex: "So much faffing around. Some of us have last trains to catch!"

Mahmood to Gregory, FOUR, another length ball on sixth stump, another heave down the ground, another thick edge flies high over Narine on the third man ring, this time going to the rope without a misfield.
