- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.5 this time finds deep midwicket! The shorter boundary not cleared. Wasn't hit as hard as the six he hit earlier in the over, as the bat face closed early for hit slog sweep off this full and tossed up ball on middle and off 105/31.2 struck on the back pad, and given leg before! A confident appeal from Abbott earns him what he wanted. That shaped to swing into him off a good length on middle and off, but then seemed to have straightened as Rossington played for the movement. His front leg was out of the way as he tried to half-clip that across the line, and he was trapped in front 9/17.2 gone, beaten by the lack of pace! Hartley strikes immediately. Maxwell made room early, as Hartley bowled full and slow on middle and off. Maxwell went for the big swing, but got a faint edge on to the stumps 51/215.4 finally gets bat on ball, but finds long-on! Walter had almost frustrated Morgan with all those change-ups, as Morgan came down the pitch again. But this ball was pretty wide of off - and on a good length - to allow him that swat-pull. Right to long-on, who was standing a good few steps into the boundary 111/416.4 a rally catch at deep square leg! Stubbs at deep midwicket ran to his left, and settled himself under the ball. He caught, but realising he was falling over, parried it back to Hartley running to his right, and ending close to him. A short ball outside off, and Thompson pulled off the higher side of the bat, only to get height without much distance 120/518.1 caught by long-on tumbling forward! Abbott ran across to his right, and fell forward to take that low. Slower ball on a full length on middle and off, as Bopara whacked that away, beaten by the lack of pace. But hang on... something is being checked by the umpires, as Bopara waits, before eventually walking off with a wry smile. Not sure if they were checking a potential no-ball there. Ah, they wanted to confirm if the catch was clean when Abbott fell 136/6Extras13 (b 1, lb 7, w 5)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Adam Rossington, 1.2 ov), 2-51 (Glenn Maxwell, 7.2 ov), 3-105 (Zak Crawley, 13.5 ov), 4-111 (Eoin Morgan, 15.4 ov), 5-120 (Jordan Thompson, 16.4 ov), 6-136 (Ravi Bopara, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 big swipe, top-edged over the keeper, it's gone miles up... and Mason Crane clings on! Rossington was never getting to the chance, but Crane ran back from short third, then threw himself full length as the ball threatened to swirl out of reach. Held on tightly with his left hand as he crashed to earth. Blow for Originals as Buttler goes cheaply 12/113.5 timbaaaaaahhhh! Darted in with the arm and Salt misses aiming an expansive shot. A laboured innings from him, and the end draws ever closer for this Originals chase 67/77.4 cleaned up by the back-of-the-hander! Brilliantly bowled by Thompson, who foxes the batter with a slow, loopy delivery, and is rewarded with the crash of ash. Madsen completely done as he swung hard across the line, only to have middle stumps pegged back 39/29.2 slogged downtown... that's out! Evans has not got the connection, and it's a simple catch for long-on. Crane tosses one up and suckers the batter for a catch in the deep 44/310.2 sliced straight to backward point! The Tower crumbles, Originals four down... Dug in short by Thompson and Walter was looking to make room. Ended up carving the ball tamely to the man on the edge of the ring 47/411.4 slower delivery, a wide offcutter, I think, chopped to point... and Dre Russ is beaten by a direct hit at the bowler's end! Dawson with the stop and then he dead-eyes the stumps, with Russell nowhere in the frame. The big man was slow to set off, and then ends up on his face. An apt metaphor for this chase 53/513.1 slogged leg side, straight to the fielder! Stubbed out! Driven into the pitch by Dawson and Stubbs' whoomph across the line is nowhere near going for six. Maxwell settles safely under the catch 63/615.2 sliced to short third! The slower ball does it again, Thompson has a fourth! Beautifully bowled, out the back of the hand, and Abbott's filthy hack barely gets to the edge of the ring 77/818.5 thick-edged to the keeper, diving full length! Slower ball from Wood and Klaassen has a hack at it, diverted to the right of Rossington, who takes off with the grace of a Boeing 747 but completes an excellent grab one-handed 102/919.3 plinked to backward point, Crane takes the final wicket and Spirit have walked this one. Some revenge for that six, and the two legspinners shake hands. Spirit win by 52 runs and make it two from two 108/10Extras10 (lb 4, w 6)TOTAL108 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 5.51 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Jos Buttler, 2.3 ov), 2-39 (Wayne Madsen, 7.4 ov), 3-44 (Laurie Evans, 9.2 ov), 4-47 (Paul Walter, 10.2 ov), 5-53 (Andre Russell, 11.4 ov), 6-63 (Tristan Stubbs, 13.1 ov), 7-67 (Phil Salt, 13.5 ov), 8-77 (Sean Abbott, 15.2 ov), 9-102 (Fred Klaassen, 18.5 ov), 10-108 (Matt Parkinson, 19.3 ov)
