England all-rounder on Â鶹Éç TwoGleeson's bowled that at 90 miles per hour and Rossouw will feel he has enough on it.
But Gleeson takes a brilliant catch diving in front of the party stand.

Rossouw c Walter b Gleeson 15 (Invincibles 17-1)
Terrific catch!! Stunning!
Rilee Rossouw - who has his eye in - launches Gleeson into the leg side and Paul Walter - at deep square leg - takes a few strides to his right and dives to take a spectacular grab with both hands. The ball was moving at some pace!

Invincibles 13-0published at 10 balls
Irish seamer Josh Little bowls the second set of five. Rossouw swats a shorter ball down the ground, with Tom Hartley diving well to stop the boundary.
Will Jacks miscues a pull and the ball falls short of the fielder running in from deep square leg.
A good comeback from Originals.

Another boundary to Rossouw as Hartley struggles to find his length. This time creamed through extra cover. Solid start from Invincibles.

James Anderson
England bowler on Â鶹Éç TVThe Manchester Originals have the momentum.
It's the smarter team who generally come away with the victory at Old Trafford.
The team that gets the ones and twos, not necessarily the fours and sixes.

Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings, speaking on Â鶹Éç Two: "We're going to bat first, get a score on the board and hopefully defend it later.
"It looks a really good wicket. A typical Manchester wicket with pace on the ball and the odd one turns for the spinners.
"They're a dangerous side, but we've got our plans. We're also playing some really good cricket. We're confident if we do that we'll beat anyone.
"Jason Roy not playing is a huge loss for us."

England all-rounder on Â鶹Éç TVYou get towards the business end of the tournament, this is what you want, the big players stepping up.
We're in what is effectively a quarter-final.
A must-win game for bothpublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 31 August 2022
The equation is pretty simple. A win for either side will see them finish second - ahead of London Spirit on net run-rate - in the group stages and qualify for Friday’s eliminator. The loser is out.
In the very unlikely scenario that it's a draw, Originals and Invincibles both miss out, and second placed Spirit and third placed Birmingham Phoenix will both progress.
Group toppers Trent Rockets, meanwhile, are already straight through to the final.
