76 runs needed
Ouch!
Jamie Smith punches Noor Ahmad's first delivery right into David Warner's midriff.
That ball would have been destined for the boundary, but is just run for a single.
Only four more runs from the rest of the set - up ticks that required run-rate...

David Warner has passed fifty when chasing in T20s on 63 occasions. Coincidently, his side win 63% of the time when he passes fifty in a chase.

A remarkable shot from Warner. He played it with both feet in the air, it was very unconventional.
81 runs needed
Jamie Smith comes in with plenty of runs needed - he gets one of them immediately with a single to mid-on.
David Warner then charges Tongue, who sends down a bouncer, and the opener manages to twist on his way down the pitch and lift the ball over point for four.
Handy.

That is not necessarily a bad thing for London Spirit. Williamson was struggling out there in the middle and not timing the ball.
Spirit have got to get a move on now.
Williamson c Chapman b Tongue 19 (Spirit 75-1)
Finally the partnership is broken!
It's Kane Williamson who goes, lifting a pull shot off Josh Tongue into the hands of compatriot Mark Chapman on the backward square ropes.
He departs for 19 off 20 - not his day today.
89 runs needed
Noor Ahmad sends down four dot balls to Kane Williamson before the New Zealander gets a shot away.
The Afghanistan bowler finds himself in a bit of an awkward position as the throw comes in and has to leap over the stumps in his retrieval attempt.
The throw isn't great either and the batters take a second run with an overthrow.

Kane Williamson is still hardly seeing any of the strike. This is not proving to be an easy run chase and David Warner has had to work for his runs tonight.
91 runs needed

The players are going to take a strategic time-out at the half way stage.
David Warner is on 52 from 36 balls, Williamson on 17 from 14.
From from Jimmy Anderson on Sky Sports: "I have seen a lot of footage of Sonny Baker but not seen a lot of him live. I have been so impressed. Tonight he bowled outstandingly well. He has got pace, skill, swings the ball both ways. He has a lot going for him."
Spirit 71-0
Consecutive fours bring up David Warner's half-century!
He lifts Lewis Gregory over third then reverse sweeps through backward point, beating the diving fielder there.
It comes up from 35 deliveries with nine fours and one six.
The worm favours Originals at the moment, but that lack of wickets may cost them.

It has not been smooth for David Warner. It's been a bit of a bitty innings and this was the same for him at Cardiff the other night.
102 runs needed
Scott Currie comes back - he took 4-28 in Originals' first game, against Southern Brave at Old Trafford, and was 0-12 two days ago versus Invincibles.
Just two singles off his second set of deliveries, breaking the flow over runs off the spinners.
Jimmy Anderson, speaking to Sky Sports: "I have really enjoyed it. I had a really good season with Lancashire. I enjoyed being around the group. This is my first experience of franchise cricket. My first spell I bowled 10 straight through which was interesting but all good fun.
"It is really fast-paced. Sometimes you have bowled 15 balls without thinking about it. The best players slow it down at the right times."

Image source, Getty ImagesA lovely shot from Kane Williamson. He is not really a power hitter, he is usually more of a finesse player.
London Spirit are showing signs that they can chase these runs down by the fact that they haven't lost a wicket.
This is an interesting field that Noor Ahmad has - it's almost two extra covers quite close together.
104 runs needed
Another spinner now as the 17-year-old Farhan Ahmed comes onto bowl.
David Warner cracks his first delivery through mid-wicket for four, bringing up the Originals 50, then Kane Williamson adds his second boundary with an impressive lofted drive over the covers.
26 runs off the last 10 balls, with the veteran batters enjoying the spinners.
116 runs needed
Two more fours off the spinner for London Spirit.
Kane Williamson picks up his first boundary, miscuing through third, before Warner scores his sixth with a cheeky reverse shot.
Manchester Originals bowler, England's leading wicket-taker, James Anderson speaking to Sky Sports: "It has been a great start. The only thing missing is a wicket. We have bowled really well. We have deserved a wicket with the way we have bowled."
126 runs needed
Close!
Noor Ahmad enters the attack for a first sight of spin and David Warner cracks his first delivery to long-off.
It's Phil Salt out there for another run-in with the Australian, but the Originals fielder is a little in from the rope and the ball clears him, landing just short of the rope and bouncing over for four.
