squeaked over the leap of short fine leg! Top-edged jab at a slower bouncer, just enough on it to clear Rashid... and Spirit get home by seven wickets, and with 18 balls to spare

Full commentary
4.55pm: We thought it might be a tricky chase; we thought wrong. London Spirit have gunned down a middling target as if they were batting on a runway, led by Adam Rossington's 15-ball half-century and some trademark innovation from Glenn Maxwell. That is four wins from four for Spirit, who are as good in this year's Hundred as they were bad last year. Third defeat in a row for Superchargers, who won the toss but struggled thereafter. Anyway, in the words of Jay-Z, on to the next one: Oval Invincibles hosting Southern Brave in the evening fixture dahn sarf... Bye!
Time for a word with the Match Hero, Adam Rossington: "I thought the bowlers did a fabulous job, kept them to 15 below par. Wanted to get ahead of the rate early, and it was my day today. Just keep looking to hit the sightscreen as hard as possible. [DBD] Nice partnership, he got me back on strike and found his boundaries as well. [Maxwell off?] We've got some lads to come in off the bench, we'll miss Maxi but good players to come in. [Difference to 2021?] Another year on in the comp, few different faces but playing a positive brand. Bowlers have been fabulous, batters have chipped in, nice to get a performance."

Dwayne Bravo to Morgan, 1 run
clipped down the ground for a single. Top stuff from Bravo, ensures this goes to another end

Dwayne Bravo to Morgan, 2 runs
short ball, Morgan latches on to a pull and gives Lyth some work to do in the deep
78
1
Dwayne Bravo to Maxwell, 1 run
dipping slower ball, Maxwell is almost done by the lack of pace as he looks for the reverse-hit... ends up almost blocking it with a horizontal bat, down on both knees, for one behind square. Smiles exchanged between batter and bowler

Dwayne Bravo to Morgan, 1 run
short ball outside off, slapped through point to the sweeper
The skipper, Eoin Morgan, out at No. 5

Dwayne Bravo to Lawrence, OUT
mistimed to long-off! Bravo gets T20 wicket No601, and Lawrence won't be finishing anything here. Full and wide, pace-off delivery, couldn't manufacture the power and presented an easy catch to Brook running in

Dwayne Bravo to Lawrence, no run
excellent yorker, homing in on off stump and Lawrence has to show it some respect. Dug out back to the sprawling Bravo, who's giving nothing away today

Dwayne Bravo to Lawrence, 2 runs
whipped away towards deep square leg for a couple more

Dwayne Bravo to Maxwell, 1 run
full again, Maxwell thunders it wide of long-off, where Harry Brook scampers across and throws himself full length to keep them to one

Dwayne Bravo to Lawrence, 1 run
full outside off, Lawrence shifts across and gets low to sweep one in front of square

Glenn Maxwell37 (21b 5x4 1x6)
David Willey 0/16 (10)
Superchargers take the strategic timeout - possibly just because they all want another drink. Can't imagine what strategy will enable them to defend 11 from 30 balls

Willey to Lawrence, 1 run
short outside off, again Lawrence is across early and slaps a pull towards deep midwicket
