Commentary

That brings an end to the coverage of tonight's cricket. Do join me, Kingshuk Kusari and my co-commentator Anurag Singh for an exhilarating day of cricket tomorrow for an action packed evening. Good night.

Sam Billings has been adjudged man of the match.

What a game we have had. It was shaping up to be low scoring thriller with Oval losing their way into the chase, but some gritty batting by Sam Billings and Laurie Evans have seen them through, putting them in a strong position in the league table. Chasing 122, they started well with Will Jacks and Sunil Narine taking the game to the opposition. However that changed soon with a spirited 10 ball spell from Jimmy Neesham who sent them both in the hut and later by the phenomenal Qais Ahmad, who just keeps impressing wherever he plays in the world. The joy though was short-lived for the Fire, with captain Billings (40 off 34) and Evans (28 off 17) seeing the game through for the home side.

Thank you very much says, Laurie Evans. What a thriller of a game today!

93b D Payne to L Evans

6 Finishes with a six! My word what a finish. Invincibles have done it. not very short of length, but Evans backs away very early and hits the ball hard through square leg. The ball lands deep into the crowd and they jump off of their seats. What a game!!

Just 3 required now, Evans has done it for his side.

92b D Payne to L Evans

6 Hits the boundary line. What a shot! Clears his front leg and spots the line so early. Slogs through the line and hits the boundary line at wide long on.

91b D Payne to L Evans

4 Payne to start the final 10. 13 required. Comes from over the wicket and bowls it full and wide. Evans reaches for the ball and carves it away for four. What a lovely start.

1-28(20 b)

Singh: Billings is playing the same kind of knock like Duckett did in the first innings. All he needs is two big ones here or can the Fire pull off the impossible?

90b M Milnes to L Evans

1 Puled away for a single.

89b M Milnes to S Billings

1 Heavy ball into the stumps. Billings is looking for that one shot to clear the ropes. Clears his front leg, but is forced to play along the ground to long on.

88b M Milnes to S Billings

2 Slower ball, short this one. Billings backs away and slaps the ball to long on. Neesham keeps it to just two.

Precious dot ball from Milnes.

87b M Milnes to S Billings

0 Yorker into the stumps. Slaps the ball, but straight to the fielder.

86b M Milnes to S Billings

2 Milnes comes for his final 5. Goes short, Billings wants to take him on as well. Slices the ball up in the air but it falls safe. Two runs.
