7.43pm Well, it's a target, and in an eliminator, it's going to be a stiff one. Ravi Bopara's second bullish cameo in as many matches backs up Ben McDermott's free-flowing fifty, and despite a series of failures elsewhere, Spirit have done a decent job there. Plus, they've had a sighter of the conditions. For Origjnals, Parkinson and Walter were the stand-outs, five wickets between them.

Paul Walter: "It was touch and go for a while there," he says of his dislocated shoulder. "Physio strapped it back in, and here we are. They batted well, so even at the halfway stage. Five from five, we've come in with momentum, so hopefully we get the result."

Over to Alan for the chase.

Alex: "Sadly I think Eoin Morgan's time as a professional cricketer has run its course. If the spirit win I don't think he should play tomorrow. " On the contrary, a [potential] farewell at Lord's for England's World Cup-winning captain, what could be more fitting? But let's wait and see what happens here first...

Gleeson to Bopara, 2 runs, low full toss, outside off, a scuffed drive to long-off, and Bopara rushes back for an even 150

Gleeson to Bopara, 2 runs, full toss, flapped to the on-side, not quite a no-ball but he gets back for two as the ball plugs at midwicket

Gleeson to Bopara, SIX, slower ball, slammed high over long-on! He had to wait and wait on that one, and got underneath the stroke all the same, but such power on impact, high over the head of long-on!
