9.43pm: Brilliant individual performance from Sunil Narine. 13 not out off 5 balls to win it after taking 2 for 14 in 20 with the ball. He is named Meerkat Match Hero (yes, really) as the Invincibles go 1 from 1. Sam Curran top-scored for them in the chase, rescuing the innings along with Jordan Cox after a slow start, and Sam Billings played an important hand before Narine sealed the job. Thanks for joining us.

99
2
Ellis to Narine, 2 runs

wide slower ball, outside off stump, Narine plinks it out to deep cover with one hand off the bat and jogs through for two! South London triumphs over North!

98
4
Ellis to Narine, FOUR runs

hard length, Narine clears the front leg and slaps it away through cover! Pepper dives at full stretch on the rope but can't get there

Suddenly it's a coin toss game. 6 off 3.

97
6
Ellis to Narine, SIX runs

another slowie, picked up into the leg side. Mitchell runs to his left at midwicket, dives and grasps it while looking to throw it back into play to his team-mate, but can only fumble it over the rope!

96
Ellis to Narine, no run

slower ball, and Narine is through the shot early. Swings and misses, looking to flog him over midwicket

96
3w
Ellis to Narine, 3 wide

full, down the leg side. Past the pads, past the diving Rossington, and down to fine leg! Free runs for Oval as Narine scampers back for the second

Ellis to close it out. Three boundaries still needed for Oval. Five men in the ring.

Thompson to Atkinson, 1 run

down on one knee, pushing to mid-off

94
2
Thompson to Atkinson, 2 runs

unbelievable fielding from Wade at deep backward square leg! Low full toss, Atkinson picks one up off his pads and flicks it away square. Wade jumps at full stretch above his head, diving backwards, and saves a certain six by slapping it back into play! Stunning fielding. One for SportsCenter's top plays!

93
Thompson to Atkinson, no run

low full toss outside off stump, Atkinson can't get bat on ball

Spirit have missed the cut-off. Long-on comes up into the ring.

93
1w
Thompson to Atkinson, 1 wide

wide outside off, Atkinson shapes to cut but it's past the toe-end

92
Thompson to Atkinson, no run

hard length, Atkinson lines up the short side but swings at thin air

Oval are up against it now. Atkinson walks out at No. 9. He can give it a whack. Oval probably need three boundaries.

91
W
Thompson to Billings, OUT

wide outside off stump, slower ball, Billings gets across to slog-sweep towards the short side... but it's straight down midwicket's throat! Good catch by Pepper diving forwards. Billings smashes his pad with his bat in frustration

Sam Billings c Pepper b Thompson 25 (15b 2x4 1x6 24m) SR: 166.66

Ellis to Billings, 1 run

short and wide, cut away through point. Pepper tumbles to his left to cut it off

89
Ellis to Billings, no run

Ellis to Narine, 1 run

wide slower ball, swung out into the deep on the off side

Sunny Narine at No. 8.

Ellis to Tom Curran, OUT

cleaned him up! Middle stump is pegged back. Pace on, full and straight. Curran looks to punch it down the ground but is done for pace

Ellis to Tom Curran, 1 wide

another slower ball, past the pads as Curran looks to shovel leg-side

86

Ellis to Billings, 1 run

slower ball, dabbed away without much control into the off side. Back-of-the-hander, deceives Billings
