Inglis c De Kock b Jordan 55 (Spirit 128-5)
Media caption, 'Phenomenal' flying catch from De Kock removes Inglis for 55
Quinton de Kock you cannot do that! LUDICROUS GRAB!
That has got to be the best catch of the tournament so far.
Josh Inglis goes for the reverse ramp off Chris Jordan and gets plenty of it, albeit not sweetly timed.
Keeper De Kock leaps high to his right and clings on one-handed. Ridiculous scenes.

Spirit 128-4
Is this the game?!
Josh Inglis clatters a mighty six off George Garton to bring up a fine half-century off 42 balls.
Garton is fuming. He's ruined his work with a ropey final ball.

Not a wicket but almost as good for the Brave is another dot ball by Tymal Mills.
Mills has given up only 13 runs from 15 balls now.

Another dot as Josh Inglis misses. Pressure on.

Josh Inglish misses with an attempted scoop shot.
Sign of nerves? Or a sign he feels there is plenty of time to get this score and he may as well try that?
Spirit 118-4published at 24 balls left
Alex Davies saves the boundary with a fine diving stop at cover off Mohammad Nabi.
No run at all either. Davies very much Brave's star man today.

Nabi just taking the single to put Inglis back on strike. Spirit have time to do that still.
Inglis can't get Lintott away though, a dot and a single to finish.
Super spell by Lintott - just 20 runs from his 20 balls.
