Sam Curran | Match Hero: Big win, the way the table is placed at the moment, knew it was a big game. Just really enjoying it, lovely bunch of guys, staff, coaches and turning up to work and playing with your mates is nice. Long way to go but hopefully we keep up the momentum. (on Cox) The way he is batting is so skilful, right from ball one, he has been timing it and took the pressure off me. They had some key bowlers and we saw them off. There's not really too much talk about the table, the schedule is busy, we are back playing at the Oval soon, a ground we know really well. The games come thick and fast and fingers crossed we keep improving and hopefully we keep winning as well.

21:14 local, 20:14 GMT, 01:44 IST: 4th win for the Invincibles as they crush the Brave with 11 balls to spare. Having lost both openers for single-digit scores, the visitors never showed any signs of panic. Jordan Cox carried on from where he left off last game, and found able partner in Sam Curran to engineer a 101-game-sealing 3rd wicket stand. The duo did respect the good deliveries and took full toll off the bad ones. Interestingly, both got their fifties and ran really well between the wickets. In fairness, the Brave were at least 20-30 short on what looked like a decent surface and it only got better for batting under lights. They might regret the early implosion, but will take confidence from their recovery. Lots of impactful peformances from the Invincibles, but stick around to find out who takes the 'Match Hero' award...

Tymal Mills to Jordan Cox, out Caught by Cartwright!! Jordan Cox cannot believe it. Short, wide and asking to be bashed. He stood tall and slapped it flat to the fielder at extra cover.
