    That is not a big total. Spirit are going to have to bowl brilliantly.

    Invincibles have been outstanding with the ball and in the field. The job is half done but they are favourites.

    That's got to be up there with the most economical finishes we've had.

    Spirit 122-7

    A single to finish.

    Incredible death bowling from the Invincibles with the last 20 balls going for just 15 runs.

    The visitors need to win to keep their knockout hopes alive. They've but themselves in a great position to do so

  5. Spirit 121-7published at 99 balls

    A wide yorker. Yet another dot. This is sublime bowling.

  6. Spirit 121-7published at 98 balls

    Liam Dawson stays on strike with a quick two to the leg side.

  7. Spirit 119-7published at 97 balls

    Nathan Ellis gets off strike pulling a slower one for a single.

    Ironic cheers in the stands.

    Has Nathan Ellis' bat got holes in it?

  9. Spirit 118-7published at 96 balls

    Tom Curran adds another dot. Four in a row now.

    Sam Curran has executed all his plans so well, he is such a complete all-round cricketer.

  11. Spirit 118-7published at 95 balls

    And a third dot. Brilliant from Sam Curran who takes 3-16 off his 20 balls.

    Brother Tom will bowl the final five deliveries.

  12. Spirit 118-7published at 94 balls

    Sam Curran fires in two dots to new batter Nathan Ellis.

    Sam Curran has changed his pace perfectly and that's why Jordan Thompson went through the shot so early.

    London Spirit are in a right spot of bother.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 92 balls

    Thompson c Jacks b Sam Curran 27 (Spirit 118-7)

    Brilliant from Sam Curran he has a third wicket.

    Jordan Thompson has to go big but can only edge it into the air and Will Jacks takes a simple catch.

  15. Spirit 118-6published at 91 balls

    Thompson 27, Dawson 3

    A yorker is squeezed from Thompson for two.

  16. Spirit 116-6published at 90 balls

    Too high from Sam Curran. A no ball and a free hit.

  18. Spirit 113-6published at 90 balls

    A single to finish. Dawson will pinch the strike.

    What a turnaround from the Invincibles. I haven't seen Spirits downed this quickly since......you can insert your own jokes here.

    It's all swing but no ping at the moment from the batters. The Currans have both bowled very, very well.

  20. Spirit 112-6published at 89 balls

    Brilliant from Tom Curran whose slower balls have Liam Dawson in all sorts of trouble.
