Spirit vs Invincibles, 28th Match at London, Men's Hundred, Aug 14 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Evans has finished it off in style. He had mis-timed a few after playing pristinely, and finally nails one again. Booming swing of the bat and the ball flies over long-on, a long way over. Nerves? what nerves? Evans has taken Invincibles one step closer to qualification

Saqib is run out at the bowler's end trying to get Evans on strike. Full toss again, and he's going so hard at them he's losing shape and timing. This is to long-on and there's never a two there.

dug in short and he swivels to pull this with nonchalant force to deep square leg. Top drawer shot, but only a single for it.

another low full toss outside off and he goes really hard at it, can't time it well, one bounce to long-off

low full toss outside off and he leathers it over extra cover, who's leaping up but can't get fingers to it. Sweeper does well to run to his left and dive to stop the ball but the bowler has over-stepped No-ball and free hit coming up.

nicely done, yorker on off, and he can only bottom-edge it back to the bowler

moves well across to slog sweep and loses his stumps. Not the best choice of shot perhaps. He had moved so far across all three stumps were exposed, and once you do that, you have to lay bat on ball. He misses connecting and the ball homes in on the stumps.

short ball, latched on to that with a fierce pull and kept it down - but straight to short midwicket. Valuable dot ball

too full on the pads, flicked to deep square leg

yorker on off, Evans mis-read that and had to jam it back to the bowler's left

back of a length on the stumps, whips it off his thigh pad to fine leg

goes right back and clips it off his pads to midwicket

good length on leg stump, spinning across, he's hanging on the back foot and pushes at it with hard hands, but gets it past the bowler

pushes at this length ball outside off, half steers it to short third man

tossed up outside off, fuller length, Curran has a big swipe at it, manages to get enough to clear extra cover in the circle.

length ball outside off, turning away, slapped through cover

amazing shot first up. Cullen was going for the yorker again, can't get it right, it's a leg-stump half volley and Curran calmly uses wrists to flick it forward of square for a boundary

yorked him. Inch perfect leg-stump yorker, Blake was making room to free his arms, can't do anything about that, and stumps are rearranged.

length on the pads, pushed to midwicket

inside edge goes for four and that's fifty for Evans. Bit of an anti-climactic shot to get there after the brilliant ones he's played all through. Full on off, went hard at it, got the inside edge that ran past the stumps, and very fine.
