6.10pm And that will be all from our coverage of this game. I'll see you shortly alongside Peter Della Penna for the men's game starting in just under an hour.
Farrant: I've been training really hard and have some good bowlers around me. It's quite overwhelming the crowds we've had and the support we've had (in the Hundred). I'm just loving every second of it.
Tash Farrant is the Player of the Match.
6.03pm Dane van Niekerk gave them a quick start and she's seen them through at the end. Wonderfully crafted knock from the South African. The Oval Invincibles have opened up a two-point gap between themselves and Welsh Fire. Firmly in third place with six points now, although Fire have a game in hand.
full and at the stumps, backs into the leg side and looks to drill it past the bowler for the winnings runs. Mid-off dives to the right to stop that
Only two needed now, those last three balls have made it straightforward for the Invincibles now. Wong will bowl the last five.
full outside off, shuffles and stabs this expertly between deep midwicket and long-on to come back for the second
clears midwicket! Short of a length and sitting up nicely at middle stump and she has nailed this aerial pull
bisects deep square and deep midwicket! Good length and into leg stump and she swings cleanly to find the gap
length at middle stump, steps out and hauls this to long-on
full and into leg stump, backs into the leg side and drives aerially to long-off's left
17 needed off 10 and Franklin has the ball. Crucial five this...
short of a length at middle stump, has a slog again, on the bounce to deep square
bounces past deep midwicket! Full at middle stump, slogs this and it dips awkwardly for the fielder there. Mack puts in a dive but it's past her quickly off the turf
big lbw shout is reviewed by the bowling team. It was short of a length and off stump whereabouts. She backs into the off side to try and hoick this over short fine. Struck on the left leg with all stumps visible. It'll come down to whether it struck her in line...and the umpire's decision stands.
short of a length and following her down leg side, nudged into the leg side with soft hands
short of a length and following her down leg side. Looks to back away to open up the covers, this ends up at long-on off the thick inside edge
Gordon ends her set with 10 consecutive balls, and she has given Phoenix a sniff.
full at off stump, backs into the off side to try and whip that behind fine leg. Beaten
good length at middle stump, nudged into vacant midwicket off the back foot
full at middle stump, defended down the pitch
full and at leg stump, looks for the reverse sweep and gets it past keeper off the gloves
short of a length outside off punched to long-off
good length at the stumps, pushed into the off side
dropped! Puts one down off her own bowling. and it's another simple one done down, the third this innings. Full at off stump and a nervous flick at that from Capsey. Lobs nicely back to the bowler and she grabs at that and can't hold on
knocks the top of middle! Loopy length ball at middle and leg, looks to swing that into the leg side but it spins past her swing and is past her
