Oval Invincibles vs Welsh Fire, HUN, 9th Match, August 6, 2023 - Match Info

Payne to Tom Curran, 2 runs, phew! What a game. What an end. But to be fair that was out by the barest of margins as Tom Curran went for the full-length dive. The third ump thinks otherwise. Abell after seeing the replay on the big screen was punching the air and jumping for joy, till the "not out" flashed on the big screen. Then his whole emotions change. Here's what happened: A low full-toss down leg, flicked to deep backward square leg who gets to the ball and fires a flat throw back to Cooke on top of the stumps, Tom Curran puts in the hard yards and dives in a frantic effort to get home, when the zingers are alight, the bat is a millimetre short of the crease. When everyone were expecting the "out" call - with Fire already celebrating - the "not out" flashed on the big screen to leave the onlookers stunned. Fire walk back shaking their heads as they watch the last ball on the big screen. Unreal finish here at the Oval. One feels that the third umpire made his eventual call a bit too soon, he did not look for more replays nor there is a split-screen zoomed in when the stumps are broken, with respect to where the bat is. But his decision is final and we all to have move on

Payne to Tom Curran, out Narine Run Out!! 1 run completed. Good yorker length delivery on the stumps, flicked to deep mid-wicket and it's to Phillips, even the quickest of men would have found it difficult to come back for the 2nd, a flat throw on the bounce to Payne and that's done for Narine who it must be said is not the quickest between the wickets. Easy run-out. Narine run out (Glenn Phillips/Payne) 2(4)

Payne to Tom Curran, SIX, "it's out of the Oval, it's massive" is the cry from Ravi Shaz. While "that's the biggest I have seen" is the comment from Nasser Hussain on air. A friendly low full-toss angling into the hips, swung over deep backward square leg and out of the ground. Into the nearby road

Payne to Narine, leg byes, 1 run, Narine shuffles across outside off, was full and just outside off, he heaves and misses, takes a legbye

Payne to Narine, wide, full and wide outside off, wide of the tramline, beats Narine's drive but wide called. Fair call

Payne to Tom Curran, 1 run, Payne comes round the wicket and bowls an inswinging yorker on leg-stump, flicked to deep mid-wicket for one

Shaheen Afridi to Tom Curran, 2 runs, fine yorker on middle-stump, dug out in front of long-on and Narine somehow gets back for the 2nd, despite being slow and running diagonally
