    Well that's what happens when you follow up a 90mph delivery with one at 93.1mph.

    Mohammad Nabi even played the right shot. It was just too quick.

    What a reply by Lockie Ferguson! No better wicket for a fast bowler than knocking over middle stump.

    Nabi b Ferguson 6 (Spirit 122-6)

    What a response! How do you play that?! 93mph and right on the stumps. Nabi swings hard but is nowhere near it.

    Imagine facing 93mph. No thanks.

    Beautiful batting from Mohammad Nabi who elegantly guides a ball from Lockie Ferguson away for four.

    Oh hang on - this is odd. The bail flipped up, the lights went on, but then the bail landed back in the groove.

    Eoin Morgan was in anyway.

  7. Spirit 118-5published at Ball 85

    Well this is weird. The fielder throws the ball at the stumps, they go up for a run out on Eoin Morgan, and the bail comes off but lands perfectly back on the stumps.

    I have no clue what would've happened if it was out but Eoin Morgan was easily in.

    And Nabi survives. It was missing leg stump.

    I don't know what that could be missing because Matt Parkinson doesn't bowl a googly.

    Oh wait, I've just seen the replay and that is going to miss leg stump. What do I know?

    An lbw review on Mohammad Nabi straight away ... it's been given not out on the field.

    It's just really good spin bowling, Matt Parkinson putting it in the right area with a bit of fizz on it.

    Bopara c Harrison b Parkinson 14 (114-5)

    Another for Parkinson!

    Bopara goes for the big shot but doesn't get hold of it, and slices a catch straight in the air. Not sure whether he needed to go for that, given Parkinson has been the best bowler and only had four balls left.

  14. Spirit 114-4published at Ball 81

    In all fairness to Olly, he's just had some bolts screwed into his back after an operation so maybe jumping from his seat for catches isn't the best way to recover.

    I didn't want to be embarrassed when I dropped it.

    There is Eoin Morgan at his best! That's his shot!

    It's heading straight to Olly Stone! Catch it Olly! What are you doing? You've dropped it.

    Spirit 114-4published at Ball 80

    Eoin Morgan has smashed this one. As soon as he hit it, you could tell it was six.

    And Olly Stone on commentary duty has a chance to pull off a crowd catch, but he doesn't bother moving for it.

    It's tough to face spinners on this pitch. Spirit would be delighted with anything over 140.

  19. Spirit 104-4published at Ball 75

    The pitch has been difficult for batting so it might not be an easy chase for the Originals if Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara can get them to around 130 from here.

    Oh that is huge! With the spin! Look out in the crowd, Ravi Bopara has got into that one. Did you hear that noise off the bat? A lovely sound.
