Richardson b Crane 4 (Phoenix 122-9)
Or is it?
Mason Crane has four! Richardson attempts another big shot but is completely cleaned up and with just one wicket left now, Phoenix's hopes have surely diminished.

But Kane Richardson smashes his first ball down the ground for four! It's not over yet!

This is just some of the damage Matthew Wade provided.
Enormous.

Wade c Bopara b Crane 81 (Phoenix 118-8)
Now then!
Has that wicket sealed the win for London Spirit? Lord's stands for Matthew Wade, who smashed an absolutely stunning 81 from 42 balls.
He goes for a sweep but chips it straight to Ravi Bopara who grins with delight as he takes a simple catch.

Wade survives.
As you were.
Spirit reviewpublished at 18 balls left
Spirit go upstairs for a review on Matthew Wade, who's given not out for an lbw on the field.
Neither bowler Crane or captain Morgan look particularly excited by it, but it's Wade - so it's worth a gamble.

Phoenix look set for a pretty comfortable win, but if Spirit can get Matthew Wade out here, it will be down to the last few batters and that would make it interesting.

Former England bowler on BBC RadioAs long as Wade is there you should think that Birmingham Phoenix could win this game.

Matthew Wade just keeps on going.

And as Phoenix surpass 103, that means Trent Rockets are the team that goes straight through to Saturday's final.
It's so confusing. My head hurts.

So Birmingham Phoenix's chances of definitely making it through and keeping their fate in their own hands is over.
But... if they do go on to win tonight, they're not completely out of it, but they are relying on a tie or a washout in the Manchester Originals v Oval Invincibles tie tomorrow.

Target 140
Tom Helm, who was brilliant with the ball and took four wickets, has got to support Matthew Wade here.
He's batting beautifully and just needs someone to stick with him.

Howell c Rossington b Crane 4 (Phoenix 95-7)
A fine first shot but that's all it will be! Spirit on the charge.
The eliminators are out of reach for Birmingham Phoenix now as they still need a further 45 runs from six balls (they needed to win within 73 balls or less to definitely make it through).
But can they still inflict defeat on London Spirit? 45 from 33 balls sounds much more doable!
