    Ellis to Phillips
    What a way to finish it! All the jeopardy of the last hour and Phillips pumps Ellis back over his head for a stunning six! The Welsh dream is still alive. Spirit now need snookers if they are to make the final three...
    18.2
    1
    Ellis to Abell
    Nicely played, wristily guided behind point for a single down to third
    18.1
    0
    Ellis to Abell
    Starts with a dot, good length, top of off, Abell attempts to work it away to the leg side but finds the fielder in the circle
    17.5
    2
    Mitchell to Phillips
    Short, pulled away to the square leg fence where there are patrollers, but neither can beat Phillips for pace coming back for that second
    17.4
    0
    Mitchell to Phillips
    Slower ball, Phillips tries to hit the white off the ball and misses as it passes between him and leg stump
    17.3
    3
    Mitchell to Abell
    Slower ball, wide of off stump, flayed deliberately behind point. Phillips shouts for three and makes the final run with ease!
    17.2
    6
    Mitchell to Abell
    Even better! Skipper of Somerset and Welsh Fire is turning up... this one far crisper, far straight and further!
    17.1
    4
    Mitchell to Abell
    Abell, take a bow! Mid on is up in the circle and Abell times a straight drive sweet as you like, holding the pose too
    16.5
    1
    Ellis to Phillips
    Pulled hard to the leg side... but it goes on the bounce to Mitchell, who has made up good ground running squarer from backward square leg and throws immediately to keep then to one
    16.4
    2
    Ellis to Phillips
    Skied... but no dice for Spirit! Another pull shot goes awry, but the fielder that was in the circle at midwicket has since dropped back to the fence
    16.3
    0
    Ellis to Phillips
    Pulled but far from convincingly, dribbling out to Crawley at midwicket
    16.2
    0
    Ellis to Phillips
    Ruses through Phillips, who is hanging on the back foot and is beaten on length and a bit of seam away that beats his outside edge
    16.1
    1
    Ellis to Abell
    Full of a good length, just outside off, timed nicely through to deep cover
    15.5
    0
    Dawson to Phillips
    Arm ball to finish, almost catches Phillips unaware but he cottons on off the surface and keeps it out
    15.4
    1
    Dawson to Abell
    Wide enough to cut, which is what Abell does out to Ellis at deep point
    15.3
    1
    Dawson to Phillips
    Skidding into off stump, punched with a full face into the covers
    15.2
    2
    Dawson to Phillips
    Short and skewed to cover... but just over the head of Dan Lawrence! Leading edge from the turn, great piece of bowling from Dawson, but desperately unlucky
    15.1
    1
    Dawson to Abell
    Drifted full into middle and leg, Abell punches out to midwicket once more
    14.5
    2
    Bopara to Abell
    Short and drifting onto the pads, worked out to midwicket for a couple
    14.4
    1
    Bopara to Phillips
    Flighted and full outside off stump, pumped out to cover. Perhaps should have got two there, but Ellis has a decent
