7.25pm: David Warner walks off with an unbeaten 70 to his name, and London Spirit will hope that's a decent score on the board. Warner, who has barely caught his breath, is immediately stopped by Kumar Sangakkara to give his views to Sky: "Quite challenging when they hit their lengths. Back end it held a fraction. Thought they bowled outstanding. [Plans] Try not to get bogged down, work on dot-ball percentage, get bat on ball. [Defending?] First 25 balls, make an early dent in their top order, then hold our lines and lengths and adapt as we go." Back in 10 for the chase

"60/1 from first 50," notes DaWolf, "103/4 from second 50." Pretty good acceleration, on what looks a sticky-ish Cardiff deck
