That is a short boundary but it would clear any!

Up, up, up and six! Eoin Morgan launches Sean Abbott for six. That's a huge hit.

The impressive Stubbs is kept on and continues to threaten. Crawley dances down the wicket and toe ends it into the off side. The ball somehow lands safely.

Stubbs concedes just eight runs from his 10 balls. A tremendous effort. The boy can play.

Manchester Originals were my team last year, so I did have an attachment to them ... until they didn't retain me. So now I don't care.

Didn't want to play anyway.

South African Tristan Stubbs, who doesn't just have a pleasing name but is also a pleasing cricketer, is introduced to the attack.

The 21-year-old almost strikes immediately as Morgan miscues and the ball trickles agonisingly close to the stumps. Stubbs goes short and Morgan nearly edges into the gloves of Buttler.

Wickets in hand are key for London Spirit here. Eoin Morgan looks like he wants to up the rate and lead from the front.

It will be interesting to see if he keeps going. 140-150 looks like a decent score on this pitch.

Morgan dances around his crease in search for big hits but it's a good comeback from Parkinson.

We're at the halfway stage of this innings. Spirit will be the happier team here.

My word. Sensational power from Eoin Morgan who takes a few strides down and wallops Matt Parkinson into the leg side for a six. It made the most delightful sound of the bat.

I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up, actually.

Chris Green
Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio

It's been quite a measured start so far.

Henry, you predicted that we'd be seeing the most runs ever in a Hundred match here but the pitch hasn't looked like it will be that way.

Andre Russell returns for his second set of five. Crawley slices it towards backward point and it whizzes past the dive of the fielder for two. Would have been a spectacular catch.

Crawley takes another single before Morgan plays an elegant late cut for one more.

A full delivery from Russell should really be sent to the boundary, but Crawley misses out.

There's a half-hearted appeal for caught behind and Morgan misses out on a hook.

Eventful five balls.

Steven Finn

That's not a slog at all. Morgan's in complete control of it, and that's the advantage of having a right and left hander at the crease because he can target that short boundary a lot easier.

It's going to force the bowler to think more about his plans.

Vintage Eoin Morgan! In he comes and clobbers Hartley for six. Down on one knee and slapped up and over square leg.

Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Radio

He was just trying to give himself some room, stepping back to open up shorter boundary the off side but it ended up just being a huge heave.

Henry Moeran

A horrible looking shot. A huge swing and he was made to look rather foolish by Tom Hartley.

Spin from both ends as on comes Tom Hartley.

Maxwell mistimes a drive down the ground. There's a shy at the stumps but Zak Crawley is well in.

Henry Moeran
BBC Radio

Oh yes those are some big boots. He's making Zak Crawley look short.

Paul Walter, who Steven Finn says wears a size 17 shoe, is introduced to the attack. Decent start from big foot, varying his line and length. Just two from his opening five deliveries.
