MI London boosted their knockout hopes as they move up to second in the table of The Hundred men's competition at Lord's.

London Spirit 160-5 (100 balls): Pretorius 52 (28); Sowter 2-29

MI London 164-6 (94 balls): Pooran 39 (25); J Overton 2-23

MI London won by four wickets.

London Spirit became the first team to be eliminated from The Hundred after a four-wicket defeat by MI London in front of a record crowd at Lord's. Chasing 161, MI London needed an unlikely 70 off 37 balls but Sam Curran's 33 and a quickfire 32 off 16 from Sikandar Raza put them within touching distance.

Raza, a Zimbabwe all-rounder, was making his first appearance of the campaign having replaced Rashid Khan, and smacked four sixes before he fell with just six needed to win. Curran, who started slowly with one off seven balls before accelerating, laid the platform alongside Nicholas Pooran, who made 39 before he was brilliantly run out by David Willey to give Spirit hope.

However, Raza led the counter-attack before Tom Curran and Ollie Pope, the latter newly recalled to England's Test side, held their nerve to complete the chase with six balls to spare.

The crowd figure of 27,721 was an all-time record attendance for a group stage match of The Hundred.

Earlier in the day, Spirit opener Lhuan-Dre Pretorius scored 52 off just 28 balls before the 20-year-old was sensationally caught by Will Jacks' diving relay effort on the boundary. Willey whacked 31 off 18 and James Coles, who was the most expensive player at the auction earlier this year, made an unbeaten 30 as they posted a competitive 160-5.

However, a lack of consistency cost them again, with just one win from six matches so far in a season to forget for head coach Andy Flower. Meanwhile, MI London move up to second in the table to boost their knockout chances.

Kerr's brilliance keeps MI London's slim hopes alive.

Both Birmingham Phoenix and Sunrisers Leeds are in must-win territory in the women's competition, and they face one another at Edgbaston at 15:00 BST. The men's game follows at 18:30 with Phoenix also struggling at the bottom of the table in that tournament, while Sunrisers will keep themselves in knockout contention with a win.
