    Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the first man born in the 21st century to play international cricket. I am very, very old.

    That was a terrific catch.

    London Spirit's hopes are slowly but surely being extinguished.

    It was a good catch in the end because they are always difficult on the run.

    Harry Brook is having a good evening, and a very good tournament.

    Nabi c Brook b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 2 (Spirit 56-4)

    Harry Brook's catching skills strike again!

    Mohammad Nabi goes swinging, looking for a big six, and Brook comes joigging around the boundary rope to grab the ball and then slide on his knees to celebrate.

  8. Spirit 55-3published at 50 balls left

    101 runs needed

    I guess it's not often that Eoin Morgan will play against Adil Rashid, given that they're normally on the same side.

    He tries to reverse-sweep his England team-mate and makes a hash of it. He ends up settling for a single.

    What a tournament Harry Brook is having.

    It is a big ask for these two.

    That's clever bowling. He went really wide on the crease so the angle was much more acute and Luis Reece to manufacture something.

    Reece c Lyth b Raine 24 (Spirit 49-2)

    Of all the times to not lose a wicket...

    Luis Reece tries to go over cover for a big hit and ends up sending it in the direction of Adam Lyth, who jogs backwards before taking another smart grab at head-height.

    Here's Ben Raine...

    ...and there goes Ben Raine. That's a solid four from the swishing bat of Luis Reece.

  16. Spirit 44-2published at 60 balls left

    112 runs needed

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman is coming on for a bowl, and bowls a tidy set of five.

    He ends with a little check for a stumping, but Luis Reece's back foot has stayed firmly on the ground.

    I do like how quickly the third umpires are making decisions in this tournament.

    The flow of the game is good.

    This feels like a healthier position for London Spirit after a fairly farcical start.

    Six more?

    Adil Rashid drops short, it's pulled mercilessly by Luis Reece - and it hits the boundary rope full on to go for yet another big 'un.

    It is a short-ish boundary, but that is a big hit.
