- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 full and pumped, picks out deep point! Stoinis is Brave's golden ticket with the ball once again. Hung out wide and Pretorius just can't get enough on it hitting to the longer side. The ball goes squarer than intended and it's a simple catch for Stubbs running in 14/117.1 full toss, bunted to mid-off! Jordan nearly collides with Stoinis, running back form cover, but manages to hold it! The timeout finally does for Bairstow, as Archer claims his second at a crucial juncture in the innings 103/67.5 bowled 'im through the legs! Rew megged. And mogged, in a way. Googly from Rashid, very full and dipping, slides under the bat and then rumbles on into middle stump. Lovely loopy stuff from Rash. Spirit lose a second 44/210.5 mishit and taken! Livingstone aims for the short chip over deep cover but doesn't get hold of it at all. Clothed straight to Miller a few steps in from the rope. Home comforts still not apparent for London Spirit 56/312.4 short, top-edged and taken! Brevis fails to spark tonight. Banged in at 90mph, and the attempt to take it on goes almost straight up. Jordan settles under the skier, barely off the square at cover, and pouches it safely 64/413.4 picks out the fielder! Coles goes cheaply now. On a length and he connects well whipping across the line - but sends it straight to Moeen at midwicket for catching practice. The Spirits tumble further 68/518.1 plinked down the ground, and taken! Now Overton trudges off looking accusingly at this bat. Full length from Stoinis and he couldn't get under it. Chaudhary had to run a long way in from long-on, but takes it comfortably in the end 105/917.4 nicks him off! Two-card trick from Archer and Willey is outta there. Pitched up and inviting the drive, having sat him back with his first delivery to the new man. Big deflection off the outside edge and well held by the tumbling Smith 105/717.5 pinned first ball! Expert death bowling from Archer. Bullseye yorker, nails him in front of middle stump! Barely bothers to appeal, just wheels away with his arm in the air as Ian Blackwell puts up the finger in agreement. Incredible figures of 4 for 9 for Archer 105/818.2 edged behind, gottim! Big Papi gets his great mate Zampstagram first ball and London Spirit have been skittled with eight to spare!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 struck in front looking to sweep! Looks plumb but Smith reviews. Made a big move across his stumps, only to miss a straight one. No bat involved, what does ball-tracking say? Stone dead! Spirit thrown a lifeline by Coles' third ball 55/30.3 ping! Top of off! First-baller for McKinney, although he's got a good one here. Starts by swinging away, then nips back off the pitch inside a defensive push to send the zing bails flying! Willey gets the early one that Spirit desperately needed 2/14.2 skips down, finds midwicket! Not enough on it to clear the hulking figure of Jamie Overton, who holds on where Coles couldn't. Willey makes another breakthrough, Chaudhary's pinch-hitter stay a short one 31/29.4 gottim, Moeen holes out! Three dots and then the wicket. Driven into the pitch and he can't connect with his back-foot heave into the leg side. Spliced out to wide long-on for a comfortable catch 59/410.2 deflected into the non-striker's, Stoinis is sunk! Whipped drive from Miller and Coles just gets his fingertips to it. No time for Stoinis to react, he had barely turned while backing up. Huge moment for Brave to lose their fifth 60/5Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL111/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 5.72 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Ben McKinney, 0.3 ov), 2-31 (Nikhil Chaudhary, 4.2 ov), 3-55 (Jamie Smith, 7.3 ov), 4-59 (Moeen Ali, 9.4 ov), 5-60 (Marcus Stoinis, 10.2 ov)
