9.15pm: At the sixth time of asking, London Spirit have chalked up a W. Brad Wheal headlined the defence with 4 for 17, as Colin Ackermann's half-century went in vain - and defeat for Manchester Originals puts a dent in their knockout qualification hopes, too
Brad Wheal is Hero of the Match: "Amazing, we had a great atmosphere here, good to get over the line been a tough tournament so far. [Crowd] It was good fun. That's what we live for, the environment we love bowling in. Cutters were gripping, the odd one skidding on. Spinners did well, Mase bowled well, so a good game for us all round. [Warne as coach] Amazing, little bits of knowledge he drops in are just incredible, you just pinch yourself sometimes."
Right, well that was a close-run thing, but a second win of the day for the visitors from London. Originals' spin wasn't quite the success we thought it would be at EOT... Anyway, we're done for another night in the Hundred. Back for more tomorrow. Cheerio!

Wheal to Klaassen, OUT, treads on his stumps! Wheal closes out with a fourth, Klaassen paddling away to the leg side but breaking his own wicket in the process. London Spirit win by six runs, their first success in the Hundred!
FJ Klaassen hit wicket b Wheal 0 (3m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Fred Klaassen is out to the middle, 7 still needed, 6 for a tie. Wheal just has to bowl a legitimate ball here

W
Wheal to Hartley, 1 run, OUT, flung full and wide, 82mph and Hartley slashes it down to third... he has to try and get back for a second, but it's a good throw from Cullen and Hartley is short! And by keeping them to one, the target remains out of range!
TW Hartley run out 1 (3m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Wheal to Hartley, no run, angled across the left-hander, Hartley throws the bat but fails to connect!
Out comes Tom Hartley, the home crowd sitting uncomfortably now

Wheal to Harrison, OUT, timbaaaaaah! Wheal flattens off stump! Spirit are closing in... Excellent from Wheal, just goes full and straight and Harrison completely misses with a heave across the line

Wheal to Ferguson, 1 run, pitched up as Ferguson makes room, swipes one down to long-on
Out comes Lockie Ferguson at No. 8, Originals need 9 from 5. Wheal to finish this

Cullen to Brathwaite, OUT, wide yorker and Brathwaite picks out deep cover! Deep in the crease but it wasn't in the arc, skewed off the outer half of the bat! Cullen holds his nerve, as does Cracknell coming in off the rope. Is that the game for Spirit?
CR Brathwaite c Cracknell b Cullen 30 (25m 19b 1x4 3x6) SR: 157.89
