9:30pm That's all from us tonight. Join us tomorrow for Birmingham Phoenix against Trent Rockets in the women's and men's competition!
9:29pm Liam Livingstone, losing Spirit skipper, is the Meerkat Match Hero after his all-round efforts: "A little disappointed. I thought it was a really good game of cricket to be honest… just a shame we fell short.
"It was a little bit up-and-down… it was one of those pitches where they were both par. But we got ourselves too far behind the run rate. A little bit rusty but hope we come out of this.
"We bowled some really good stuff in the middle. And yeah, we nearly chased it down. The stats don't necessarily favor chasing here at Lord's (Livingstone won the toss and opted to bowl first). It's a pretty good start so hopefully we can build on this."
9:25pm Jamie Simpson: "LL is the ultimate nearly player! Never quite good enough though, be it Hundred, T20 or Test!" I think that's pretty unfair based on tonight's performance! His 2 for 14 with the ball had Spirit ahead at the halfway stage. Shame no one else supported him during his 69. That being said, he should have been seen off by Seifert on 21. Nevertheless, the Kiwi is on the winning side, with his 67 the true difference-maker

Baker to Coles, OUT, And Baker has done it! The foot is behind the line, the ball pitches just full of a good length and Coles flicks that away into the hands of deep backward square! An outstanding game of cricket falls Manchester Super Giants' way! They do the daily sweep after their women's team saw off Spirit in the earlier match
JM Coles c Moores b Baker 1 (7m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
Now then... 8 needed from the last ball. All Baker has to do is keep his foot behind that line...

Baker to Overton, 1 run, Dug in, plinked high off the splice... but over the bowler and short of any other fielder... but it's just a single!
Jamie Overton in with 9 needed from 2...

Baker to Livingstone, OUT, Baker's got him! Full, fast, 90mph and into leg stump! Livingstone was looking to heave that over to the leg side, clearing the front leg but being done for pace! It was almost in the slot but too quick
LS Livingstone b Baker 69 (64m 40b 4x4 5x6) SR: 172.5

Baker to Livingstone, 2 runs, Follows him, Livingstone pulls but can't really get much on that 89mph delivery. It's hit so badly that it travels just to the edge of an empty midwicket meaning Baker has to chase after it
Fine leg drops back

Baker to Coles, 1 leg bye, Coles goes wide, Baker follows him with one that jags in off a length at 87mph. Coles wears it and scampers the single to get Livingstone on strike
Baker will bowl the last five. He's gone for 26 off his 15 so far... huge job for the 23-year old...
