TableManchester Super Giants beat London Spirit by seven runs in The Hundred at Lord's as Liam Livingstone's big-hitting innings came in vain.
The home captain's 40-ball knock of 69 from number four, preceded by bowling figures of 2-14 in Super Giants' innings, kept his side in contention as they chased 139.
Needing 12 off the final five balls, Livingstone faced England seamer Sonny Baker, who had conceded 25 runs from his first 15 deliveries.
However, no further batters made it to double figures, with Spirit losing seven wickets for 35 runs as they tallied 138-9.
