Tongue bowls with good pace to remove Warner, Williamson & Dickson

Stone and Overton both pick up two wickets
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.
Callum Flynn
England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
David Warner is one of the quickest in the game. He is such a good runner and tries to steal singles wherever he can.
130 runs needed
Consecutive fours for David Warner!
He lifts Lewis Gregory's first ball over third and then swivels to pull the next delivery through fine leg.
Warner then hurries through a single to mid-off and Phil Salt fires in a direct hit on the non-striker's end... but there's still life in the 38-year-old's legs though and he makes it home.

You couldn't have seen two more contrasting powerplays in one game. Manchester Originals were 57-1 whereas Spirit can't seem to get going.
Aatif Nawaz
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Two
Manchester Originals have done everything right apart from get the wicket.
These are two of the best betters in the world but they are currently being mauled by these bowlers.
Callum Flynn
England PD cricketer on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
A good start from Josh Tongue, getting the yorker ball in early. If Manchester Originals can get a wicket on the board then they can start to put some pressure on.
141 runs needed
A great end to the powerplay for Manchester Originals as they concede just three runs from Josh Tongue's five balls.
Kane Williamson goes for the ramp shot, but barely gets anything on it - to the extent the ball drops in front of short fine leg.
