Oval Invincibles held their nerve to beat London Spirit by two runs amid last-ball drama in The Hundred.

The Spirit needed six to win from the last delivery but although Matt Critchley could only hit a single, they got a second chance when Sam Curran was shown to have balled a no-ball.

With three to win and two to tie for Spirit, Curran bowled Chris Wood and secured a thrilling win.

Victory moves Invincibles four points clear at the top of the men's table.
