- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 short and strangled down the leg side! Little's left-arm line skids into a cramped pull, a feather of a touch through to the keeper and Originals strike early! 0/18.5 splat! What a response! Crawley was looking set, but now he's lost his off stump! No footwork, looked like extra oomph behind that ball, an inelegant departure... he's off up the M3 tomorrow, but will it be to Lord's or directly to The Oval? 69/214.4 slower ball, into the pitch, McDermott is done! An energetic thrash out to deep midwicket, but he couldn't check his stroke after beginning his wind through the line. Lammonby gathers ten metres inside the rope with a reverse-cup. A big breakthrough 109/316.4 Lawrence holes out! His first shot in anger, taking on Parkinson's legbreak, at 47mph, up above the eyeline, dipping on a good length, Stubbs is steady and that's a big blow for a batter who should have been ready to push on 121/514.5 first-baller for Morgan! Charges to the pitch, drills through the line, but straight at mid-off! Walter is on a hat-trick as Spirit wobble! 109/416.5 leading edge, straight back to Parkinson! The ball has stopped on Thompson, slapped into the leading edge as he flaps across the line, a steepling leading edge, and another hat-trick ball coming up! Or not, as he's bowled his 20 already... 121/618.5 clattered straight at cover! A very firm strike, rising through the width on a good length, but too accurate from Dawson, Turner didn't have to flinch 139/7Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL150/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Adam Rossington, 0.2 ov), 2-69 (Zak Crawley, 8.5 ov), 3-109 (Ben McDermott, 14.4 ov), 4-109 (Eoin Morgan, 14.5 ov), 5-121 (Dan Lawrence, 16.4 ov), 6-121 (Jordan Thompson, 16.5 ov), 7-139 (Liam Dawson, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 tossed up, chipped back! Dawson jumps one-handed to grab the ball at the second attempt. Salt gives his partner a fist bump as he heads off, not at his most fluent, but his side have a helluva platform. Can Spirit squeeze the new batter? 101/110.3 picks out deep backward square leg! Two in two sets for Spirit, but you fear it might be too late. Evans wasn't going to hold back, despite having just lost his partner. Went for the aggressive sweep but sent it straight into the breadbasket of Lawrence a few yards in from the rope 104/214.4 ripped him out, pinpoint yorker! Perfectly judged, beats Madsen for pace and rattles into the base of middle and leg. Had struggled for timing and now loses his wicket. Spirit still scrapping here 125/411.2 hammered to cover! Morgan hops to take a sharp catch above his head and Originals have now lost 3 for 7 in eight balls. Ellis gets in on the act, banged in back of a length and Walter went after it. Struck firmly but it flew at a nice, catchable height 108/315.4 miscued to backward point! Gets a bit of dip and grip, Stubbs has to reach a long way and closes the face fractionally. Big leading edge, well held by Dawson diving forwards. Spirit aren't letting go 132/5Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL151/5 (17.4 Overs, RR: 8.48 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-101 (Phil Salt, 9.5 ov), 2-104 (Laurie Evans, 10.3 ov), 3-108 (Paul Walter, 11.2 ov), 4-125 (Wayne Madsen, 14.4 ov), 5-132 (Tristan Stubbs, 15.4 ov)
