BBC Test Match Special summariserI think he hit that six with one hand off the bat which is quite remarkable. It shows the strength of the man.

Oh, that is huge.
Smashed high, high into the stands by the destructive Pollard! That was brutal.
Tom Curran will be very glad that his bowling is done.
Spirit 160-5published at Ball 95
Oh, Tom Curran.
He's bowled a pretty dangerous one here that doesn't bounce and is fired straight into the chest of Jordan Thompson.
He's OK, though. They scamper a single, but Kieron Pollard has to face the free hit and that's not a pretty sight for any bowler...

BBC Test Match Special summariserTom Curran just missed his yorker there and that is the danger with it, if you miss it does normally go to the boundary.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorWhat a shot! It is a skimmer really. There was a really flourish.

Ooooft! Tom Curran's having a mare.
He bowls a wide, and the next ball is heaved back over his head by Jordan Thompson for six!

Take a bow, Tash Farrant! The ball pitches marginally outside the line of leg stump so it can't be given out lbw.
Thompson survives.

BBC Test Match Special summariserIt might be plumb, unless they think it has pitched outside the line of leg stump, but I am calling it out. I am a bowler though...
Spirit reviewpublished at Ball 92
New batter Jordan Thompson is given out lbw but goes for a review. It looked pretty full and straight at first glance.

BBC Test Match Special summariserReece Topley's last 10 balls have been brilliant. They have been crucial to pegging back London Spirit.
With Oval Invincibles powerful batting line-up you are never quite sure what sort of total you need to defend. Spirit will be looking to add at least 20 from these final 10 balls.

10 balls to go.
Spirit have batted brilliantly so far. Can they finish it off in style?

That was a great innings from Eoin Morgan. Everyone will have loved to see it.

Morgan c Cartwright b Topley 47 (Spirit 147-5)
An excellent innings comes to an end!
It's a horrible ball from Reece Topley but he won't mind at all. It doesn't bounce, Eoin Morgan gets hold of it and it looks destined to go for six but somehow finds the fielder on the boundary.
Still, the captain has played a great hand for his side.
Spirit 147-4published at Ball 87
Kieron Pollard absolutely nails one down the ground, it's straight to Jason Roy but he shakes his hands in pain after throwing it back. A good indication of just how hard he hits the ball.

Spirit 145-4published at Ball 84
Sam Curran bowls one that doesn't bounce and whacks Eoin Morgan in the stomach.
He winces in agony, but that soon turns into a smile as he watches Kieron Pollard whack the next ball, which is a free hit, for another four.
