Scorer: M Venkat Raghav | Commentator: Alan Gardner

4.55pm: We thought it might be a tricky chase; we thought wrong. London Spirit have gunned down a middling target as if they were batting on a runway, led by Adam Rossington's 15-ball half-century and some trademark innovation from Glenn Maxwell. That is four wins from four for Spirit, who are as good in this year's Hundred as they were bad last year. Third defeat in a row for Superchargers, who won the toss but struggled thereafter. Anyway, in the words of Jay-Z, on to the next one: Oval Invincibles hosting Southern Brave in the evening fixture dahn sarf... Bye!

Time for a word with the Match Hero, Adam Rossington: "I thought the bowlers did a fabulous job, kept them to 15 below par. Wanted to get ahead of the rate early, and it was my day today. Just keep looking to hit the sightscreen as hard as possible. [DBD] Nice partnership, he got me back on strike and found his boundaries as well. [Maxwell off?] We've got some lads to come in off the bench, we'll miss Maxi but good players to come in. [Difference to 2021?] Another year on in the comp, few different faces but playing a positive brand. Bowlers have been fabulous, batters have chipped in, nice to get a performance."

Miles to Maxwell, FOUR, squeaked over the leap of short fine leg! Top-edged jab at a slower bouncer, just enough on it to clear Rashid... and Spirit get home by seven wickets, and with 18 balls to spare

"Why is a 10 ball set referred to as an Ayrton?" Ayrton Senna = tenner. Come on, Darshan

Bravo to Morgan, 2 runs, short ball, Morgan latches on to a pull and gives Lyth some work to do in the deep

Bravo to Maxwell, 1 run, dipping slower ball, Maxwell is almost done by the lack of pace as he looks for the reverse-hit... ends up almost blocking it with a horizontal bat, down on both knees, for one behind square. Smiles exchanged between batter and bowler

Bravo to Morgan, 1 run, short ball outside off, slapped through point to the sweeper
