  • Spirit 141-7: Inglis 55, Garton 2-30

  • Brave 145-6: Davies 50, Cullen 2-27

  1. Spirit 115-4published at 29 balls left

    Left-arm wrist spinner Jake Lintott is going to bowl his final five balls.

    He starts with a very bad, short and wide delivery but Josh Inglis can only edge it into the ground. No run.

  2. Spirit 115-4published at 30 balls left

    Need 31 runs to win

    Josh Inglis smartly and calmly taps a single to finish that set of five.

  3. 6 runs

    Spirit 112-4published at 32 balls left

    Target 146

    Don't bowl it there!

    George Garton sends down a short ball, on the hips of Josh Inglis, with the short boundary on the leg side.

    No surprise to see Inglis whip it away for six. Poor ball and potentially very costly in a tight game.

  4. Spirit 106-4published at 33 balls left

    Left-arm fast bowler George Garton returns, hoping to add to his two wickets.

    Tidy start - a single to Mohammad Nabi and a dot ball to Josh Inglis.

    England captain Eoin Morgan here, remarkably forgetting that England team-mate Chris Jordan is one of the best fielders in the world.

  6. Spirit 105-4published at 35 balls

    Need 41 runs to win

    London Spirit should have enough batting left to do this, even though they don't bat very deep.

    Southern Brave still need wickets.

    What an extraordinary catch - he's plucked that out of the air. There's life in this game yet!

    Bopara c Davies b Jordan 8 (Spirit 103-4)

    Brilliant timing by Davies and Jordan here though!

    OK, it's not Chris Jordan's best ball - short and asking to be hit.

    Ravi Bopara connects cleanly and probably reckons it's six off the bat.

    But - Alex Davies, one of the shortest players on the field and usually a wicketkeeper, leaps into the air to snaffle a fine catch. Brave back in it once again.

  10. Spirit 103-3published at 38 balls left

    Chris Jordan sends down a leg-side wide. There have been a boatload of wides at Lord's today.

    Terrible timing by Jordan though.

  11. Spirit 101-3published at 39 balls left

    Inglis 35 off 26 balls

    Not what Vince nor Jordan wanted.

    Josh Inglis rocks back to swipe a short ball away for four.

    That's the 100 up for the hosts.

    James Vince picks...Chris Jordan.

    This tournament has been great for bringing through new names. We've spoken about the women's players, but people like Adam Rossington have been given a platform too.

    Braves skipper James Vince takes a timeout.

    Plenty of bowling options to play with, but he has to call on them in the right order.

  15. Spirit 97-3published at 40 balls left

    Need 49 runs to win

    Much tidier from Colin de Grandhomme this time, just five runs from his second set of five balls.

    Speaking of Adam Rossington hammering it about...

  17. Postpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 1 August 2021

    Colin de Grandhomme was hammered for 24 runs off five balls by Adam Rossington earlier.

    The Kiwi big man is back.

  18. Spirit 92-3published at 45 balls left

    Target 146

    More tidy work from Lintott - just 17 runs off his 15 balls so far.

  19. Spirit 90-3published at 47 balls left

    Superb work in the deep by George Garton! He puts in a full-length dive and has the presence of mind to parry it to Alex Davies, knowing he couldn't get enough on it to stop it outright.
