7.55pm: Similar to their opening match against Southern Brave, Spirit were in trouble but managed to fashion a total... albeit Phoenix will likely be comfortable with being asked to chase 128. Back in a mo for the chase
Here's Sean Abbott speaking to Sky: "Nice to present the seam and get a bit out of the wicket. Attack the stumps early, you see how dangerous the big man could be at the back end. Definitely money on the team, there's something in there for the bowlers but get a partnership together and we can get this done pretty quickly."

Milne to Russell, SIX, Russell holes out... but Livingstone steps on the rope! So it's six rather than out from the final ball, Livingstone's left boot making contact with the boundary cushion as he stepped back. A handy cameo from Russell but will that be enough for Spirit to make a game of this?
