Spirit 101-4published at Ball 72
HUGE! Watch out in the crowd!
Ravi Bopara had three from seven balls before this one and the pressure was building. That'll ease it.

Not sure what a reverse sweep is? Well, Eoin Morgan loves them and here's some more of Greg James' wisdom.
Classic Eoin Morgan - he nails a reverse sweep but the Originals clearly know how well he plays that shot because there's a fielder positioned perfectly for it.

Two dots in a row. This is really good stuff from Matt Parkinson.
Matt Parkinson, brimming with confidence from his stunner of a catch, is bowling to the England white-ball captain, Eoin Morgan...

Adam Rossington just walked past me and said, "Matt Parkinson is never going to do that again." He really isn't known for his fielding!

A big innings needed from Spirit captain Eoin Morgan here. With just over 30 balls to go though, it could be the perfect situation for him.
He's joined by the vastly experienced Ravi Bopara, which should also serve them well.
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC Two
That's a beauty. He's missed it by a good six to eight inches in the end. It doesn't get better than that for a left-arm spinner.
Cracknell b Hartley 15 (Spirit 84-4)
A beauty! It's a turning pitch and that one's done plenty - Joe Cracknell is completely bamboozled and plays all around it.
The batter grimaces as he walks off but there wasn't much he could do there.

That is a blinder. Go on lad. It reminds me of that Ben Stokes' one-handed grab against South Africa in the opening game of the 2019 World Cup.

Oh my word what a catch! Go on Matt Parkinson, do the Imran Tahir!
Rossington c Parkinson b Hartley 46 (Sprit 81-3)
Matt Parkinson!!! Stop it! That is unreal.
Rossington goes for another reverse sweep, it looks destined to fly over Parkinson's head but he unveils a spectacular leap into the air and plucks it one handed.
The celebration might even be better than the catch though - he sprints almost an entire length of the pitch and whirling his arms!
Colin Ackermann comes on to bowl and there's a lot of spin out there.
But he bowls too short and Cracknell helps himself to four.

A section of the crowd tried and tried and tried until, finally, the rest gave in... the Mexican Wave is now in full force.
Manchester Originals take their strategic timeout.
Adam Rossington is on 46 from 28 balls.
Is he the key to get Spirit a match-winning total here?
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Two
The Spirit are in a tremendous position.
