8.55pm An update for you as it wasn't revealed at the time why Rilee Roussouw was batting with a runner. "Suspected hamstring injury," Oval Invincibles say, according to our man at the ground, Matt Roller. We'll have to see how he pulls up ahead of Invincibles' next game, at Trent Rockets on Wednesday.

Dezz: "We hear about Salt, Smeed, Banton etc etc for England, but really surprised Jacks name never comes up. He's been consistently excellent for a couple of years now."

It is all about that man, Will Jacks tonight. With that, we'll say goodnight. From me, Alan and Thilak, thank you so much for your company.

8.35pm Will Jacks scores 108 off just 48 runs, makes up the majority of Invincibles total of 142 for 3 - and then some - as the hosts win by seven wickets with eighteen balls to speare. Magnificent from Jacks. "It's a pretty amazing feeling. The best thing was every time I got on strike, everyone was cheering and everyone wanted me to get there," says the man of the moment and obvious Match Hero, Will Jacks.

"Smeedy scored the first hundred the other day and I have tonight, there's so much competition which encourages you to keep working hard and obviously we want to play for England so we keep pushing," he adds when asked about the prospect of earning selection for the T20 World Cup later this year.

Sam Billings, Invincibles captain says: "Seriously special from Will Jacks. He deserved it, didn't he? From ball one he looked like he was batting on a different wicket today. But I thought we bowled really well too."

"He's class, some quality shots there. It's not just clearing the front leg and hitting cow corner, he really is a class act."

On Jason Roy's third duck of the tournament and second in a row, Billings adds: "With Jason, it's a horrible place to be. We've all been there. For him, he's a world-class player and it will turn, and it's about trusting that."

Mahela Jayawardene, Southern Brave coach: "We're not playing par enough cricket to compete with some of the teams who are in very good form. We are not going to give up on the season, it's just that we had a close game, the last one [against London Spirit], where we feel we made too many mistakes out on the field but today probably we got outplayed completely. So you need to win those marginal games. It's halfway through the season we have a great opportunity to get a few wins and go on a run."
