There is no reward for Rockets from the review.
Charli Knott then finds another boundary from Ash Gardner's next delivery.
Spirit reviewpublished at 28 balls left
60 runs needed
Ash Gardner is back into the attack.
And she sends one upstairs after there is nothing forthcoming from the umpire for an lbw against Charli Knott.
Spirit 89-6published at 30 balls left
61 runs needed
That's the first maximum of this Spirit innings, but it's come a bit too late, you feel!
Charli Knott hammers Alana King's final delivery of the set over covers and the boundary rope.

Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraI don't think I've ever seen Charlie Dean play that shot and she played it really nicely. They're going to need a few more of those.
Spirit 82-6published at 32 balls left
68 runs needed
Spirit are not giving up though, as Charli Knott slaps Alana King's first delivery of the set to the boundary down the ground.
Charlie Dean then reverse sweeps King a ball later for the same result.
Spirit 73-6published at 35 balls left
77 runs needed
Rockets have now taken three wickets in the last three sets, conceding just 12 runs.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThere's been a lot of soft dismissals today for the Spirit. Knuckle-ball from Heather Graham and Issy Wong lost her shape.
WICKETpublished at 38 balls left
Wong b Graham 1 (Spirit 70-6)

Issy Wong made a crucial contribution with the ball earlier on, but I fear the same can't be said of her batting in this fixture.
A slower delivery from Heather Graham turns in and rattles the stumps to send her back to the pavilion.
Spirit 69-5published at 40 balls left
81 runs needed
Another set with a wicket for Rockets as they tighten their grip on this game.

WICKETpublished at 43 balls left
Gibson c Gordon b King 5 (Spirit 67-5)
That's as soft a dismissal as any!
Danielle Gibson completely misreads Alana King's leg spin here and edges it towards Kirstie Gordon at backward point.
Is there a way back for Spirit from this?
Spirit 63-4published at 45 balls left
87 runs needed
A brilliant set from Kirstie Gordon that!
A wicket and just two runs coming off it.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt's key for the Rockets that. She was due a fail Grace Harris. You fear that's pretty much game over for London Spirit.

The loss of Grace Harris has seen London Spirit's chances tumble into single figures, according to WinViz.
It was 20% before she got out.

Harris c Graham b Gordon 8 (Spirit 61-4)
It felt like Spirit needed a big innings from Grace Harris to improve their chances here.
But she departs for eight, as she ends up slog sweeping Kirstie Gordon into the hands of Heather Graham.
And Spirit are in deep trouble here.

Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraGrace Harris has been key and she has been key for Spirit getting over the line on a number of occasions
When she scores runs, they win.
Spirit 61-3published at 50 balls left
89 runs needed
Grace Harris, who scored an unbeaten 50 to guide her side to three-wicket win over Manchester Originals on Monday, guides Cassidy McCarthy's first delivery towards the boundary at third.
Spirit will need a lot more of that if they are to win this as we reach the halfway point of this innings.

96 runs needed
New batter Charli Knott is off the mark with a single off Heather Graham's final delivery.
Postpublished at 16:55 British Summer Time
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThat is annoying for Cordelia Griffith.
She had just started to motor and just got a partnership going with Grace Harris.
Cordelia had to stay there for a while, but one shot too many in that set of five for me.
