Ah.
Mohammad Amir gets a leading edge that goes high into the night sky before settling comfortably in Adil Rashid's mitts.

Quite a lot of the crowd have left to avoid the rush at the tube station.
All London Spirit can do to try and save that last bit of face is avoid being bowled out...

Cullen c Willey b Raine 0 (Spirit 85-8)
Well.
Blake Cullen falls to his second ball as he smacks Ben Raine straight at - and I can't emphasise enough how straight it was, it was like catching practice - to David Willey.

If London Spirit win it from here, then I'm Beyonce.

That'll be a free hit...
