7.40pm: Well, that escalated quickly. Spirit were going nowhere at 74 for 4 off 72 balls, only for Ravi Bopara to come out roistering like the England dasher of old. He cleared the ropes five times in a blistering cameo of 45 of 20, and it's given his side something to bowl at. He has also increased the jeopardy significantly for Phoenix, who need to chase the target in 73 balls or fewer in order to lift their NRR high enough to get back into the top three. Here's a few thoughts from Tom Helm, after his 4 for 17: "It's always handy playing at your home ground. Pretty helpful wicket to bowl on. We stuck pretty simple, saw the wicket was doing a bit, staying a bit low. Just tried to bash away. I think we bowled well, not the greatest wicket. But we need to knock them off quickly, so we'll give it a go." Get strapped in, Peter Della Penna is firing up the thrusters for the second dig
Liam Dawson heads out for the final ball
