8.15pm A bit of a cameo from van der Merwe at the end has lifted Spirit to 146. They started slow before Morgan went after the bowlers but Shamsi got him, after being hit for successive sixes, and Bopara in the same over. He ended with 3 for 25 while Narine gave away only 22 from 20 balls for one wicket. We will be back with the chase in a bit, stay tuned.

Curran to van der Merwe, FOUR, lucky this time. Fuller outside off, slashes at it and opens the face of the bat as he trips over and it goes over short third man for four more

Mahmood to van der Merwe, FOUR, ramped over the keeper. Jumps out of his crease and Mahmood goes short but what presence of mind to play a walking ramp there. Fine leg puts in the slide but fails to prevent the boundary
