  1. Spirit 19-0

    144 runs needed

    David Warner welcomes Scott Currie by whacking his second delivery through mid-wicket for four.

    He heaves at the next two deliveries as well, but all he strikes is fresh air.

    Warner often takes his time in the initial part of his innings, knowing he can catch up at the end. Against Welsh Fire in his player of the match knock, Warner scored just 25 runs off his first 20 balls before accelerating and scoring 45 runs off his next 25 balls.

    Have we moved to a different pitch? The Originals seamers are finding something that the Spirit didn't manage to on this surface.

    Good shot from Warner. Tongue didn't have a chance but that is the only shot that Warner seems to have committed to so far.

  4. 6 runs

    Spirit 14-0

    150 runs needed

    David Warner's over his quiet start...

    He faces a couple more dot balls from Josh Tongue, then slams the England seamer down the ground for four.

    He follows that up by hooking Tongue's penultimate delivery over fine leg for six.

    Mind you, Originals were 30-0 at this stage...

    Sonny Baker is getting some nice movement on the pitch. Very impressive stuff to two of the best batters.

    Kane Williamson will have felt he missed out there.

  6. Spirit 4-0

    160 runs needed

    London Spirit get off the mark at the sixth attempt - although it's from a leg-side wide from Sonny Baker.

    Three more singles follow as Warner and Williamson get their innings going.

    David Warner's bat is unblemished after facing three balls. It is going to take a good innings here for London Spirit to chase this.

  8. Spirit 0-0

    164 runs needed

    Cracking first five balls from Sonny Baker!

    David Warner can't get the right-armer away, and sees his bat beaten by the first two deliveries.

    An excellent start for Originals, and the 22-year-old is going to try to keep it going with five more balls...

  9. Thanks Matt.

    We're straight back into the action - the pacy youngster Sonny Baker will take the first set of five deliveries.

    The veteran internationals David Warner and Kane Williamson opening up for London Spirit.

  10. Ready for the chase? It should be a good one.

    Mike Peter was born for these situations...

    A real trend is emerging at Old Trafford in this season of the Hundred - slower balls are being incredibly effective.

    Balls bowled under 75mph are far outperforming pace on deliveries in terms of wicket taking threat.

    <75mph: seven wickets. Average: 6. Strike-rate: four balls per wicket

    75+ mph: seven wickets. Average: 29. Strike-rate: 22 balls per wicket

  12. Manchester Originals scored 85 runs in the first 43 balls and only another 78 in the remaining 57.

    Is the pitch slowing up? Did London Spirit give them too many as a headstart? Time will tell...

    It feels an above par total. All eyes will be on David Warner and how he opens the batting.

    Ollie Pope being brought in too will be one to watch.

  14. Originals 163-6

    That helps! The Manchester Originals do clear 160 as Scott Currie hits the final ball for four.

    It wasn't as many as they could have scored but is still a decent total.

    London Spirit will need 164 to win.

  15. Originals 159-6

    Noor Ahmad is good to continue and scurries a single. Can Scott Currie end with a boundary?

  16. Originals 158-6

    Four off Noor Ahmad's helmet! He has been clunked by a bouncer. These will go down as leg byes and result in a concussion check.

    They have lost consistent wickets here which has slowed the Originals down. If they can try and get another six runs with the last few balls.

    They still have a good total however.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Gregory c Pope b J Overton 10 (Originals 154-6)

    This has been some fightback...

    London Spirit get another wicket as Lewis Gregory is caught at square leg.

    After looking like getting over 180, the Originals might not make 160.

  19. Originals 154-5

    Only a single after an attempted scoop...

  20. dropped catch

    Originals 153-5

    Oh my!

    Kane Williamson and David Warner, the two most experienced men on the field, leave a high catch for each other resulting in sarcastic cheers from the crowd.

    Five to go...
