Too short from Lockie Ferguson and it gets up nicely for Turner. You've got to be short or full as a seamer, not at that horrible in-between length.
Costly from Lockie Ferguson!
Ashton Turner clubs two boundaries through the leg side, Ferguson also bowls two wides, and Spirit have grabbed the momentum back.

Trent Rockets have gone at an economy rate of just 6.4 runs per set in the last 25 balls of an innings this season, the best for any team. Spirit on the other hand, have lost 11 wickets in this phase, the second-most for any team.
Well, Ollie Pope is going to give it a good go.
Up and over cover for four from just his second ball, a cracking shot!

Trent Rockets will be pleased they've finally got their man because he's been given a couple of chances. This time he dances down the pitch and doesn't get anything on it at all.
Williamson st Alsop b Ahmed 45 (Spirit 112-3)
Rehan Ahmed finally has his wicket!
Kane Williamson tries to go down the ground, misses, and Tom Alsop completes the stumping from behind the stumps.
Can Spirit make the most of this platform set by Williamson and Smith?

Lovely shot - it felt like he had to wait an age for it. He adapted really nicely.
Image source, Getty ImagesSomething had to give, so Kane Williamson gets funky with a reverse-pull for four off Akeal Hosein.
He moves to 45 as Ashton Turner takes his time getting settled at the other end.
Trent Rockets are just gaining some control back here.
Marcus Stoinis continues to mix up his pace, and Kane Williamson is getting a little stuck.

Jamie Smith's innings:

We've seen some really good cricket from Jamie Smith, but Trent Rockets are bowling well.
Could this open the floodgates?
Smith c Root b Cook 52 (Spirit 102-2)
Fifty and out!
Sam Cook gets his revenge, as Jamie Smith picks out Joe Root at mid-off.
Still, his promotion to the top of the order has worked out well for Spirit as Ashton Turner comes in at number four.

Spirit 100-1
The timeout hasn't quite worked.
Two balls later, Jamie Smith brings up a 32-ball fifty with a crisp drive down the ground off Sam Cook.

This is only the fifth instance of a team dropping four catches or more and the first this season in a men's Hundred match.

I would be a frustrated man if I was bowling. You create a chance, it's dropped and then bang, a six.

Naturally, Jamie Smith sends his next ball into the stands!
Trent Rockets have had a shocker in the field and they call for their strategic timeout to try and get things back on track.

That was always hard to judge. You have to time your dive and be able to extend your arms in front of you.
Spirit 88-1
Speaking of drops...
Adam Hose, who also dropped Smith on 23, spills Williamson this time. Another well-timed shot over the off-side from Williamson but he picks out Hose, who gets two hands to it, spills it, and face plants the turf for good measure.

Jamie Smith gives you the impression that he is only one hit away from a massive over.
Rehan Ahmed twirls away economically, though he should have a wicket to his name.
Smith was dropped on 26 off his bowling earlier.
