00:00In the air, has it tipped over? No, it hasn't.
00:08Keaton Jennings, tumbling catch, running backwards. Gleeson has his and the Spirit's first.
00:16It's the in-form Hurst. This is a tricky catch. Running back Jennings, steadies himself.
00:25Takes it well. Always tricky backtracking.
00:31Wider on the crease, edged. If you're going to flash, flash hard and it'll go away over the one slip and go away for a boundary.
00:42Finally, finally, Phil Salt gets one out of the meat of the bat and that has flown a good distance into the mound stand.
00:52He'll feel a whole lot better after that.
00:59Gets this one past extra cover. He was looking for that. You could see the way he was picking the bat up with that slightly open blade.
01:06He was looking for the offside.
01:12Hit away this time. Holden finds the middle of the bat.
01:17Look at that. Possibly goes all the way. Liam Dawson.
01:24On the sweet this time. Salt.
01:27Well, not a boundary for a while and now it's back to back for the originals.
01:35Pulled away. A long way out of the ground from Phil Salt.
01:42And what a way to bring up his fifth half century in the hundred.
01:47Because it was tough at the start. Lots of play in misses. The seamers like Worrell getting the ball to talk.
01:54He worked through that. He's worked through an injury. He's given himself an opportunity now to face the pace.
02:03Crosses stumps again. Helped away again. This is excellent batting from the originals captain.
02:1070 balls gone. 89 runs scored.
02:16Well, swung away. And the result is another boundary.
02:23A lot of luck along with skill for the originals.
02:29Into the wicket. Oh, and a half chance.
02:34Dawson it is in the deep. Sprawling and diving but can do nothing.
02:44Looks to go leg side again. Run out of opportunity. Direct hit. And you would imagine.
02:50Okay. All through the stumps. Lit up. Short of his ground. Ready with my decision for the big screen.
02:57Excellent work from Gleeson.
03:03Yeah, just bludgeoned down the ground. It wasn't off the middle of the bat.
03:17He does try and hide it out there. That is hitting up the hill.
03:21And that is the difference here at Lord's. Owen Morgan talks about it a lot.
03:25Get them hitting in that direction. Up towards the grandstand.
03:30It's a wide full toss. But the field is set. Deep point. Deep cover. Long off.
03:39And again. Wide and taken.
03:43Which would suggest the ball pitched before he hit it and then he chipped it up in the air.
03:50Andre Russell takes a pretty simple catch. Clearly out. Clearly bounced before it reached Jamie Overton.
03:59Up on that offside. It's going to be a similar dismissal.
04:03Hetmaier takes a catch. Low down this time.
04:06In plan. It's obvious what the tactics are. You have to adjust. You have to get ahead of the game.
04:19And he just flat bats that. He's played a lot of hockey, hasn't he? And you can see that from that shot.
04:29Absolutely belted down the ground. He hardly moved because he knew he'd nailed it.
04:39Just helped on its way. And two men out there go straight in the middle of them.
04:48They're going to have to try and get back for two. They settle on one.
04:53And after 100 deliveries.
04:57The Manchester Originals amass 135.
05:04And he deserved that actually. He played a couple of very decent shots. He'd nailed extra cover.
05:09And then he ran it down straight to third man. This time he finds the gap.
05:14Off the splice of the bat. Over Paul Walter. In front of the pod.
05:20I reckon Paul's just lost that chase right in front of us.
05:24Like the previous pitches up here.
05:29Slower ball. A beauty of a slower ball. Completely deceiving Pepa.
05:34It's like a knuckleball of some sort. The seam stayed up straight, which makes it so difficult to play.
05:41Michael Pepa, all he could do was chip it in the air.
05:45To Wayne Madsen.
05:48Fantastic slower ball.
05:51Well, we got two bowlers in the pod.
05:56Oh!
05:57Oh, that's out. That is an absolute beauty.
06:02Slower ball. Gets to first. Fast in-swinger gets to second. Brilliant.
06:08Ollie Pope's class out. Late movement.
06:12Into the middle of middle stump.
06:15To the delight of the Manchester Originals.
06:17Now, that is brilliant. I reckon that's gone.
06:22The celebration, certainly, from the Originals suggests he is. And he is.
06:28And he is.
06:30And he is.
06:32And he is.
06:34And he is.
06:36And he is.
06:38And he is.
06:40And he is.
06:42And he is.
06:43Certainly, from the Originals suggests he is. And he is.
06:49And Lawrence has got to walk off.
06:57Mid-off. Just over. And it has to go high to get over Paul Walter. It does.
07:03He's game on. 110 required for this spirit. And that will help.
07:09Ooh.
07:11Straight from Jennings.
07:14Lovely shot down the ground.
07:18Ooh. Yeah.
07:20Short again. Four again. Third in the five so far.
07:26You would have thought of personnel.
07:29Straight down the ground. Again from Jennings. Beautiful shot.
07:35Salamire.
07:37Straight into the action.
07:40From Hetmeyer. Struggling to find the middle of the bat so far.
07:46That's a mighty blow. Leg side. And it goes all the way for six.
07:54And that will help.
07:57Freebie really. Slightly wide. Maybe the bowler was worried about being hit leg side.
08:03And Hetmeyer just helped it on its way.
08:10He does go for the big snog sweep. Does it carry? It does.
08:14Put down. Faruqi. That's twice Hetmeyer. That was a harder one.
08:19Baiting. How long could he just control himself?
08:23He couldn't for the last ball. It did carry. It was a tough chance.
08:27Oh yeah. Now he likes it.
08:32To the glove.
08:34OK. Yeah. Hold it there. Pause it there. I've got clear glove.
08:38Well. Clear glove. And Keaton Jennings had already gone back to his position in the crease.
08:47And Keaton Jennings responds with a very powerful stroke down the ground.
08:51One bounce. Four.
08:53Anchor the innings after the early loss of wickets.
08:57That is a fine way.
09:01Hetmeyer. This could be the wicket that the originals wanted. It is.
09:07Curry holds length and Hetmeyer is trying to sweep it to the longer side.
09:14Oh. That's a fantastic Yorker. This has been a really good over so far.
09:22Yeah. I think he's safely home.
09:24Let's see if I can see. Just playing it safe.
09:27Comfortably in.
09:31Jennings. Top edge. Should be out.
09:35Oh. It's another one gone down.
09:37There has been some horrendous fielding here this evening at Lord's.
09:41And that one could be costly.
09:48Finally one sticks.
09:50Mind you. If it had put that one down. Wayne Mazdan I think.
09:54It was time for us all to go home. It was an absolute dolly.
10:00Jennings finishes with a thump down the ground for four. But it's not enough.
10:06So. Disappointment.
10:08For the London spirit. On home turf.
10:11Defeated here by bottom placed Manchester originals.
10:15And they are now eliminated.
10:16So both these teams are done this year.
