8.40pm: Well, that all looks pretty straightforward on paper, but Brave were far from comfortable. They have, though, chalked up a second win in a row, having started with three defeats. London Spirit slip to one win from four, and the momentum of their win at The Oval has already dissipated, despite a valiant attempt to defend 105 on another tacky Lord's pitch

Jofra Archer is the Match Hero: "Even more delighted that we got the win. I think I complemented them, because this is the first time I've got more than one wicket this year! Everyone has been bowling well and keeping the runs down. We changed plans a bit, with the big side, small side. Whatever the wicket feels like, determines what we do. They got 105, you think it's going to be an easy chase, but they are always harder."

That's a wrap from Lord's, we've had another packed day of Hundy action. Join us for tomorrow's double double-headers from Nottingham and The Oval. Bye!
