That's all she wrote! Billings takes the catch as Overton top-edges a pull, sealing an emphatic victory by Oval Invincibles.
Invincibles vs Originals, 13th Match at London, Men's Hundred, Aug 09 2023 - Match Result
Invincibles won by 94 runs
9:18pm: Right, that's all from here. Thanks for joining us, and thanks to the weather for finally playing ball, as much for our benefit as the 23,376 at the Kia Oval. See you all tomorrow!
Heinrich Klaasen is your Meerkat Match Hero. Funnily enough, he says the sun was hard to contend with at the start, making it hard to pick up the ball as shadows fell across the pitch. "Credit must go to Spencey - 20 balls, one run for three wickets. I don't know why he's not standing here!"
Spencer Johnson on his match hero snub: "Absolute blur at the minute, speechless! I don't know what's going on! I've had a bit of a tough run with injury. I'm 27 now and coming out the other side. I'm enjoying my cricket and lucky to be here."
9:07pm: In fact, this is the biggest winning margin/heaviest defeat in the Hundred, beating Birmingham Phoenix's 93-run win over Welsh Fire in the inaugural season
Slower ball, just on the right side of the tramline. Overton's livid
Fortuitous as Atkinson goes full and Overton gets a thick edge up and over third for his seventh boundary
Hangs back and slaps across the line, but straight to wide long on
Three in a row! Flayed through extra cover as Roy puts in a dive but can't stop the boundary
Rinse and repeat! Overton the only Originals player with any credit today after his 2 for 21
Full on the pads and Overton times well between midwicket and long on for four pointless runs
Slower, wider, reaches for it and skies down the ground... but Roy can't get to the ball in time as he charges and then slides in from long off
Swing takes this one from Curran - over the wicket to the right-handed Overton - down the leg side
Should have been a run out! Gleeson misses a slower ball and Overton calls him through. Billings' under-arm is just wide
Squared up as Overton tried to manufacture something into the leg side. No dice.
Yorker dug out on leg stump to long on. No run
Sliced over the off side and there's a scampered two as Roy fields sharply on the slide
Shorter as Overton comes at Narine. Worked out to the leg side fence
Scuffed into the leg side, again no run taken
Sunil Narine - 3 for 10 off 15 - for his final set
Smeared! Wide of long on, as Jacks tries to keep it in play but can't get to the ball as he leaps over the sponge
And that's why he wanted it... Sowter floats one up for a catch in the deep, but unless he's got a mate 20 rows back into the JM Finn stand at long off, he's not going to get anything
Carved out to wide long off but no run taken as Overton opts to retain the strike.
Through the legs of Overton who was trying to work to the leg side. Billings is livid the two runs have been given as byes
Into the pads of Overton, who had moved just off the cut strip!
