  1. Trent Rockets need 123 to win

    London Spirit falied to fire and the home team will be confident they can chase this down.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Ellis b Cook 5 (Spirit 122 all out)

    Nope they won't...Stumps everywhere!

    The yorker brings about the end of Ellis and the end of the London Spirit's innings. He's completely castled by Wood who has bowled wonderfully.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Wood run out (Sams) 1 (Spirit 122-9)

    Take a bow Daniel Sams what a throw! Direct hit sees the end of Chris Wood as he tried to push for two.

    Only one stump to aim at!

    Will Spirit make it to 100 balls?

    Former England batter on BBC radio

    It makes such a difference when the home team does well, the crowd love it.

  6. wicket

    WICKET

    Dawson c Munro b Wood 7 (Spirit 120-8)

    Wood gets another and it's one of those "boundary brings a wicket" moments.

    Straight down the throat of Munro at mid-wicket.

  7. Spirit 120-7

    Slower ball completely missed but Dawson and by Tom Moores and he hangs his head in shame. He's still rocking a single dangly earring which they definitely wouldn't have permitted when I was playing sport at school.

    Luke Wood is a very clever bowler and he's just got a bit of everything in his armoury.

    Dawson swings as hard as he can and finds the boundary on the leg-side for a one-bounce four.

  8. Spirit 111-7

    Ellis 3, Dawson 3

    It's been a spinner's night so far. Samit Patel and Rashid Khan have taken advantage on this used wicket and the London Spirit are staring down the barrel here.

  9. Spirit 106-7

    Eoin Morgan is hiding under a floppy hat with his hands over his face.

    A picture speaks a thousand words.

  10. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    This is a real clash at the top of the table right now.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    McDermott c Wood b Patel 30 (Spirit 105-7)

    McDermott slices one and Wood is a very safe pair of hands even with this sun and the floodlights on.

  12. 6 runs

    Spirit 105-6

    There's a bit of sauce on that and McDermott doesn't want to hang around. Tonked into the leg side.

  13. Henry Moeran
    BBC Radio

    The flames shoot up once more and those in yellow and red can celebrate another wicket from the Afghanistan master!

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Thompson b Rashid 1 (Spirit 97-6)

    It's that man Rashid Khan again and he's got three. Thompson gets down on one knee but completely misses and the zingers are lit up once more.

    Welcome back Rashid Khan!

  15. 25 balls to goBBC Sport

  16. That cut-off to get those balls bowled is getting pretty close. This could be tight or a fielder will have to come in.

  17. Lydia Greenway
    Former England batter on BBC radio

    A brave plan of attack from Pollard. I think he tried to hit Rashid Khan over extra cover. That was very brave.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Pollard b Rashid 9 (Spirit 95-5)

    Pollard stepped back and the ball just moved away from him and took the top of off-stump.

    Not quite sure what Pollard was hoping to do there and why he decided to do it against Rashid Khan.

  19. Kirstie Gordon
    Birmingham Phoenix bowler on BBC radio

    Oh my that was a strike! Flat and hard and sailed right into that board on the boundary line.

  20. 6 runs

    Spirit 94-4

    One-handed down town from Pollard.

    BOOSH!
