9.40pm Oval Invincibles knock Southern Brave off the top of the table with a six-wicket win. Sam Curran was instrumental again with 35 from 18 balls and Jordan Cox was fantastic with an intelligent unbeaten 46 from 29 balls.

James Vince's fifty aside, Brave needed a lot to go their way defend 118 after Tom Curran's four wickets kept a lid on their innings otherwise and they just couldn't get there.

Match Hero Sam Curran: "Huge win, the two in-form teams at the moment, top of the table clash. We saw the conditions, a little bit of rain in the air, I thought we bowled really well. Coxy played really well to anchor the win. Really enjoying the environment here. I feel this team has got it right and hopefully we can continue that for the rest of the tournament."

From Vish, Vairavan and me, Valkerie, (the three Vs)... thank you for your company and we look forward to next time.

slip in... tries a yorker on middle, he manages to get it away down the ground, it hits the stumps at the non-striker's end but he's safe and they run one

Mills to Billings, OUT

back of a length, quicker ball, he swings and the keeper collects. Did he get a glove on that? James Vince wants to take a look so Brave review... Billings is walking! He's not even waiting to look at the screen, he knows he made contact and is gone, caught behind. Billings is already sitting down in the dugout as he's given out
