  1. London Spirit need to win really to stand a realistic chance of progressing. Can they do it? It should be a thriller either way.

    Amy Lofthouse will take you through their chase of 156.

  2. Who is going to win from here?

    Thumbs up for London Spirit and thumbs down for Northern Superchargers.

    Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    You don't want to lose more than three games, I would say. Teams will have an eye on that.

  4. If you like sixes, these four clips are for you.

    There was some serious hitting in that Superchargers' 155-3.

  5. No surprise to see David Willey's main scoring zones being those areas on the leg side. He hit some mighty balls in that direction. Brutal.

  6. Actually this might be David Willey's best six.

    There were six to choose from in his 81 not out.

  7. Lydia Greenway
    Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    When all of London Spirit's batters are in form, you'd think they're in with a chance. But when you're not high on confidence, it becomes harder. But they are nearing that must-win territory.

  8. Here's another of David Willey's massive sixes.

    This might be the best of the lot.

  9. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I want to know what David Willey's bat is made of. That was unbelievable.

  10. Superchargers 155-3

    Just a single to finish. Mohammad Amir nails the yorker and David Willey digs it out well.

    He finishes on 81 not out. What an innings.

    London Spirit will need 156 for their first win.

    This is butchery from David Willey!

    SIX MORE!

    Another full toss from Mohammad Amir and it is smashed over square leg.

    David Willey has now got the highest score in the men's tournament.

    Oh, my word. It's bounced off the little curved roof above the Compton Stand and then bounced back in. He should get eight for that.

  14. 6 runs

    Superchargers 148-3

    Punished!

    An absolutely rank full toss from Mohammad Amir is crunched about 15 rows back by David Willey.

  15. Superchargers 142-3

    Another attempted scoop from David Willey but he misses and it goes through to the keeper for a dot ball.

  16. Superchargers 142-3

    Mohammad Amir is going to bowl the final set of five.

    What is that!?! David Willey gets in a position to ramp, but the ball catches the outside edge and loops over Luis Reece at third who is twisting and turning in attempt to get there.

  17. Superchargers 140-3

    A wide yorker is driven to point for a couple by David Willey.

    This partnership is worth 50 off 33 balls.

  18. 6 runs

    Superchargers 138-3

    Six!

    It's not timed perfectly by David Willey but the power gets it over long-off.

  19. Superchargers 132-3

    Another dot!

    Blake Cullen is just bowling across David Willey, and the left-hander tries to shuffle across and slog sweep but misses.

    Cullen is only 19. It's probably worth remembering his name too.

  20. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Cullen is executing his yorkers brilliantly. Willey can't get his bat near it.
