That concludes the proceedings here. On Friday, 5th August, Manchester Originals will be hosting Northern Superchargers in the third match of The Hundred, 2022. This contest will start at 11 pm IST (5.30 pm GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!
Sam Billings, the captain of Oval Invincibles, starts by praising the fight from the lower-order batters. He admits that they played terribly but is impressed with the fightback. Feels that they were a bit rusty and hopes that this was the one bad performance of the top order out of the way. Also adds that they bowled too many extras. Talks about the atmosphere and thanks the crowd for all the support.
Eoin Morgan, the captain of London Spirit, starts by saying that he loves these kinds of games as they teach you how to cope under pressure. Mentions that he is happy to end on the right side of the result. Praises Oval Invincibles for the way they fought back. Feels that it's tough for the bowlers but if they execute the plans, it becomes easier. Shares that the plan on the last ball was to bowl it wide and take it away with the swing but it was not executed that way but he is happy with the win. Morgan talks about the atmosphere and compares it with the international games. Regarding his personal form, Morgan replies that he was rusty to start with and even took a blow on his body.
Player of the Match is Nathan Ellis for his three wickets. The Aussie says that there is no better way to start the season and feels it's unreal to get going with a win. Adds that the game was fast-paced, great atmosphere and it was a tight one. Mentions that it has happened very quickly for him in the last 18 months and he is still soaking it up. Terms Morgan's captaincy as unreal and calls him a calming influence.
London Spirit came out with fire and pegged their opponents on the back foot right away with the ball. Nathan Ellis and Jordan Thompson took a couple of wickets each at the start of the innings and it looked like it would be all over very soon. Once the spinners came on, it gave the batters time to settle into some rhythm after which they started scoring freely. Spirit will be a shade disappointed that they could not close the game out after the start they had, but a win is a win regardless of how you get it. Stay tuned for the presentation...
Oval Invincibles had a nightmarish start to the run chase. They lost Jason Roy on the first delivery and soon found themselves four down with just 12 runs on the board. Will Jacks, Sam Curran and Sam Billings - all departed in quick succession. Hilton Cartwright and Jordan Cox put together a 74-run partnership in just 48 balls to keep the Invincibles in with an outside chance. Once they departed, it seemed like it would be a tough task. Or so we thought! The lower-order batting of Oval Invincibles put up quite a show to take the game right down to the wire. Tom Curran and Danny Briggs played wonderful cameos to make this game a contest.
What a game we have witnessed here! Oval Invincibles have put up quite a show but in the end, it is the London Spirit who seized the last-ball thriller! The hosts seemed down and out but they fought to the very end and almost achieved the impossible.

OUT! Tom Curran holes out! That's the final nail in the coffin for Oval Invincibles. Flatter and shorter on middle, Curran tries to launch it over long on but neither gets height nor distance on his shot. It flies straight to Glenn Maxwell in the deep and he takes yet another simple catch. A handy cameo from Tom nonetheless.

Slows it up in the air, and delivers it around off, Hilton Cartwright tries to push inside the line but it spins away a shade to take a thin outside edge.

SIX! The catch is taken but the fielder has touched the fence. Ellis is visibly disappointed with himself, maybe he could have flicked it to Maxwell standing near him. Floated and full, around off, Hilton Cartwright slog-sweeps it from the top half of his blade towards deep mid-wicket. Nathan Ellis gets underneath it and takes the catch but touches the fence also. Usually, we see fielders parrying those types of catches but Ellis failed to get rid of the ball.

OUT! The catch has been declared clean and Sam Billings is not happy, as he walks back. Oval Invincibles are in absolute tatters. Ellis has two now. He delivers it on a shortish length outside off, Sam Billings stays back to punch but mistimes it in the air towards short cover. Dan Lawrence is manning that area and he dives forward to take the catch. The two umpires get together and refer it upstairs. The soft signal is out. The third umpire finds that Dan's hands are wrapped under the ball. Sam doesn't like the decision, has a word with a few players of the opposite camp and then returns.
Has that carried? A low catch has been taken at short cover. The two umpires get together and refer it upstairs. The soft signal is out.

Jordan Thompson To Will Jacks OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Another Invincible walks off shaking his head. Jordan Thompson serves this one slightly short and around off, Will Jacks aims for a big shot over the leg side but it takes the inner half of his blade and goes in the air. Nathan Ellis is placed perfectly for that catch and he makes no mistake at deep mid-wicket. Oval Invincibles are staring down the barrel.

Jordan Thompson To Sam Curran OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Thompson delivers it on a good length, around middle and off and gets it to skid off the surface. Sam Curran sits on the back foot and tries to heave it over the leg side. It though comes from the higher portion of his blade and flies straight into the hands of Glenn Maxwell at mid on. The Aussie will catch those even in his sleep. Two setbacks inside the Powerplay for Oval Invincibles.

Nathan Ellis To Jason Roy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Jason Roy bags a golden duck. His luck has not changed. Nathan Ellis begins with a shortish delivery outside off, Jason Roy tries to push inside the line and guide it past short third man but there is some extra bounce. It takes the outside edge and flies to the left of Mason Crane who dives in that direction and takes a stupendous catch inside the ring. Early blow to the home team.
