9.15pm London Spirit's hopes of progressing any further in the tournament are dashed. Originals were already out of it but they take some solace from a 12-run victory at Lord's, led by Phil Salt's half-century and Fazalhaq Farooqi's three wickets.

Keaton Jennings remained not out with 61 from 50 and Shimron Hetmyer 44 from 35 but their union of 96 in 74 balls didn't kick up a gear when it needed to, Spirit got bogged down as Farooqi ended with 3 for 24 - including 10 dot balls - and Originals got away with a poor showing in the field, their dropped catches not costing them in the end.

Match Hero is Salt: "The results haven't gone our way. We're on a mission now to be the party spoilers. The luck we've had in the competition so far I think that's a role we're going to enjoy."

Thanks so much for joining us. Vish and I will be back for tomorrow's double double-header (Southern Brave vs Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire vs Birmingham Phoenix) so we look forward to welcoming you then.
