    4.3 the drop doesn't cost them! Steps across his stumps and chips straight to Cox, who makes no mistake running in from the square leg boundary. TKC breathes a sigh of relief 29/1
    8.4 excellent diving catch from Cox. Length ball, Bairstow takes one hand off the bat as it thuds into the splice. The ball loops out towards deep cover, and Cox runs forward then dives in to scoop it up 53/3
    5.2 slashes at the width, and nicks off! Angled across the right-hander, back of a length and fairly wide. Livingstone chases after it and gets a thin edge through to Salt 34/2
    12.4 taken at short third by Ravindra! 84mph short ball, Brevis tries to upper-cut but gets much more elevation than distance. Rachin tracks back from the edge of the ring as the ball swirls and settles under it 80/4
    16.2 cool as you like from Jansen at long-on! Coles swings hard looking to go back down the ground, and gets a good piece of it. But Jansen leaps high to his left and flings it underarm to TKC at long-off as he topples over the boundary 103/6
    15.4 hard length, angled into him from around the wicket. Pulled out to deep square, where Matt Short takes the catch running in. No more than a cameo for Moores, six and out to finish 103/5
    18.4 stumps rearranged. Around the wicket, Willey jumps across looking to scoop over short fine leg but is deceived by an excellent dipping yorker which crashes into middle and leg 125/7
    19.1 hauled down to long-on! A fraction too full, Overton has a heave looking to cross-bat over the short straight boundary, but he picks out the man on the rope 126/8

    7.5 picks out deep square leg! Salt has a flash at this 88mph length ball, and gets a decent chunk of it. Plenty of height, but not quite enough elevation, and Pretorius takes the catch leaning back over the rope 43/2
    0.4 knocks back off stump with a beauty! Short saunters down and yorks himself, as Willey's inswinger sneaks under the bat and into the stumps 1/1
    14.1 leading edge skews up to short cover! Root's struggle comes to an end. He just couldn't get going, not for the first time in this tournament. Coles spears it into the surface and gets some turn, and the ball takes the edge as he looks to work into the leg side. Willey settles underneath it 90/3
    18.2 short ball, picks out Overton at deep midwicket! Cox throws his head back in frustration. 88mph, into the surface, and smeared out towards the long boundary. But it didn't quite have the legs to clear the man on the rope 117/4
    19.2 straight up, Willey settles under it! This is the mother of all chokes! Fire needed 17 off 15 balls, now they need 14 off 3. Hard length, Ravindra throws the bat - quite literally, loses his grip - and gets plenty of height but no length 118/6
    18.3 skies his first ball to mid-off! Oh my... Back of a length, wide outside off. TKC throws his hands at the first ball he faces, looking to slap it back down the ground, but can only pick out Livingstone running back 117/5
    19.5 out of the screws... but Overton takes the catch on the deep midwicket boundary! Sounded like gunshot off the bat as Willey went into the pitch, but the square boundary is vast at Sophia Gardens, and Jansen was hitting towards the longer side. Overton held his nerve on the rope, holding onto the catch and keeping his composure to avoid stepping on the rope. Spirit end the season with a win, and Fire have messed this up royally! 125/7
