Summary

  • Young bowlers Wheal & Cullen star as Spirit register their first victory

  • Originals fall short after thrilling finish

  1. Spirit 69-2published at Ball 45

    Youngster Joe Cracknell helps himself to four of his own. An expensive over from spinner Calvin Harrison.

  2. Spirit 64-2published at Ball 43

    What a shot that is! The switch-hit comes out from Adam Rossington - swapping his batting stance to hit the ball left-handed - and he gets four for it.

    Oh that's a beautiful bit of bowling again! He's got his foot back just in time though.

  4. Spirit 58-1published at Ball 39

    It is really, really spinning out there for Matt Parkinson! He beats Adam Rossington twice with two beautiful deliveries. They think they have a stumping but Rossington does well to get back in his crease.

    Er, why is the left-handed Eoin Morgan not coming out to face Matt Parkinson?

    The Spirit have really lacked left-handers in their top order all tournament.

    Maybe Morgan is just giving young Joe Cracknell an opprtunity now his team is out of it.

  6. Spirit 57-1published at Ball 36

    It's a great bit of bowling, he just fizzed it through a bit quicker to catch the top edge.

    Inglis c Klaassen b Parkinson 19 (Spirit 56-2)

    Well, that worked!

    The gamble pays off as Inglis goes for another big shot but all he can manage is a top edge into the air and it's an easy catch.

    Matt Parkinson is getting another five. This could go one way or the other...

    From those of you who were following the women's live, I mentioned Dave who works at reception here at Lancashire. I said how he is the nicest fella you'll ever meet and always has a smile on his face.

    Well, Dave just grabbed me to say thank you for the kind words. A proper gentleman.

  12. Spirit 56-1published at Ball 35

    Inglis and Rossington are going for it here. Rossington goes for a huge swing and a miss before Inglis attempts a reverse sweep.

    Neither connects with the ball but you feel that when they do, it'll go into the stands.

    When you're up against quality players like Matt Parkinson, you have to take them straight away. That's ideal from Adam Rossington.

    I've played with Josh Inglis in Perth and, him having grown up there on bouncy pitches, he's very comfortable hitting anything above waist height. Then he's also added those ramps and scoops to his game.

  17. Spirit 47-1published at Ball 30

    And in a bit of anger at being hit for four, Ferguson follows it up with a bouncer that Inglis chips up in the air for a single.

    Here's Greg James to explain what a bouncer is.

    That last delivery from Lockie Ferguson was 93.2mph!

  19. Spirit 46-1published at Ball 29

    Lockie Ferguson comes on to bowl, who is very, very fast. Josh Inglis plays some lovely shots though, including a crunching four through the off side.

    The quicker it's bowled, the further it goes.

    It's been a decent powerplay for London Spirit.
