Invincibles vs Originals, Final at London, Men's Hundred, Aug 27 2023 - Match Result

9.10pm: The bling has been blung, Billings holding the Hundred H up as the fireworks pop over HQ. Two new champions today, with the Invincible men joining Brave women in claiming the trophy for the first time. That's it for 100-ball cricket for another year, but there's still a full programme of white-ball internationals to come this summer - starting with the first T20I between England and New Zealand on Wednesday. Do join us for that. For now, from myself and Miller, Matt, Vish, Valkerie and Paul, Ekanth, Sudarshanan and Danyal, as well as Venkat and all the scorers, thanks for tuning in. Bye!

9.01pm: Time for the presentations... Jamie Overton is the Men's Hundred MVP: "Yeah, nice to contribute. Disappointed not to get over the line but been a good tournament. Nice to finally get here after a couple of years of injuries and show them what I can do. Loved it, the format is very different to T20s, but a great tournament. Good form, nice to learn about what I need to do at the back end of an innings. Shame I couldn't get over the line today."

Tom Curran is Match Hero for his unbeaten 67 and 1 for 25: "I don't know how to sum it up. Really pleased, the boys have done unbelievably. Proud of the group and really happy. We weren't in a great position, took a bit of time and tried to be positive, got a partnership going with Neesh. Amazing occasion, the Hundred has been unreal. The crowd was amazing, right behind us. The last couple of years we've felt good, this year we've managed to get over the line in tight games. Everyone from the top down, Bilbo has been phenomenal."

Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings: "Pleased for everyone, it's been a great year and we've played some great cricket. Fitting that Tom Curran was star man, he has been clutch in tight moments and that was Exhibit A. Lot of work behind the scenes, the social sec was appointed early. Vibe was different to previous years and made the difference today. [Young fans] They are the next generation so hopefully we'll see these guys out there in years to come. Can't thank the coaching staff enough, the work that goes behind the scenes was really positive, they don't get the credit but played a huge part. These moments don't come around too often, great to have friends and family here. We'll enjoy tonight."

8.55pm: They don't call them Invincibles for nothing. At 34 for 5 after 36 balls, only one team seemed likely to win this game - but Tom Curran and James Neesham resurrected their chances. It was going pear-shaped for Oval, only for the pair's record-breaking stand to take them to a defendable score, and Jos Buttler's Originals couldn't repeat their chasing pyrotechnics from The Oval last night. Buttler finishes as the tournament's leading run-scorer, but Sam Billings is the England wicketkeeper who will be lifting the trophy tonight, in front of a 27,895 crowd at Lord's. For the second year running, Originals come up short in the final analysis

"Over the moon," says Jason Roy. "If you'd told me 30-40 balls into our innings that was going to happen, I wouldn't have believed you. Absolutely stoked. Everyone has stepped up at different times, not been a one- or two-man show. We've missed a lot of players, Adam Zampa, Heinrich Klaasen, Sunil Narine. The support has been second to none as well. We'll enjoy a few beers tonight"

"Tie anyone...??" Three consecutive sixes and we're there, Asra

And Overton has torn one of his pads in the process, so there's a delay while a replacement is run out

Last set, Sam Curran to bowl. Invincibles have squeaked in under the cut-off... 23 needed from five to steal it for Originals

TeeCee is back, Originals need 32 from 10, still a puncher's chance. And the cut-off is four minutes away...

Few more of those needed

Atkinson to finish his allocation. Not been his best night so far

Strategic timeout, Invincibles looking to make sure they nail these last few sets. Originals need almost 3 RPB, with Overton their last realistic shot of overhauling this target...

In walks Tom Hartley at No. 8
