    They were looking at 155/160 when Morgan was out there. They'd now take 140.

    That's a great delivery, right up at the toes.

    Denley b T Curran 35 (Spirit 123-6)

    Got him!

    A superb yorker from the man in the headband is too good for Joe Denly.

    The spirit is sapping for the Spirit.

    Cracknell just didn't get enough on it.

    The thinking was right, but Cracknell didn't quite time it.

  6. wicket

    WICKETpublished at Ball 83

    Cracknell c sub (Cox) b Topley 5 (Spirit 121 - 5)

    Joe Cracknell flips Reece Topley over the square leg umpire but not far enough and into the substitute Jordan Cox's hands on the boundary.

  7. Spirit 116-4published at Ball 80

    This phase could stall Spirit's charge for a big total. Lots of pressure on Joe Denly and Joe Cracknell now.

    That is a beautiful piece of bowling. Bopara will have been sitting on the sidelines and expecting the spin to come back in, but that one goes the other way. It's top, top quality from Shamsi.

  9. wicket

    Bopara b Shamsi 0 (Spirit 112-4)

    Golden duck!

    That's a fantastic delkivery from Shamsi off his final delivery, baffling Ravi Bopara to take two in two - but it's the end of his spell and he can't claim a hat-trick.

    Morgan is a high-class performer and he's delivered tonight.

    Shamsi is keeping the shoe on. There was nearly a mix-up between Billings and Mahmood.

    And another!

    This time Morgan swivels to hit a short one from Shamsi about 10 rows back .

    Got him again! Eoin Morgan is on fire.

    Spirit 106-2published at Ball 72

    Boof!

    Shamsi is next in line for the Eoin Morgan treatment - he's down on one knee to loft the spinner over the leg side boundary. And they might have lost the ball in the crowd.

    This is a good little spell for Spirit.

    That is Eoin Morgan at his very best.

    Spirit 94-2published at Ball 68

    More orthodox this time, but still incredibly impressive stuff from Morgan as he hooks Tom Curran over square leg and into the crowd.

    Get the tin hats on if you're at the Oval...

    And take a look at this powerful six from earlier in the innings...

    I reckon his feet were off the ground as he played that. It's incredible how he gets that power in the shot.
