Full commentary

9.58pm So, a vital win for Originals, who make it three from three in a well-timed burst of form. They are right in the play-off mix now. The Superchargers are all but out of contention now. From Miller, Alan and Ranjith, goodnight!

9.54pm So ends an entertaining run-laden day at Headingley. Superchargers couldn't emulate the women's chase earlier today, but it was a decent showing all the same, with Adam Hose's 59 from 27 and Adam Lyth's 46 from 24 giving them hope. But ultimately it was the unrelenting weight of hitting from Originals that made the difference, with their record total of 208 made possible by some violent assaults from Salt, Evans, Stubbs and Walter, whose three wickets were also key in the defence.

The Match Hero is Phil Salt for 55 from 25: "We know here is a good wicket, keen to get a good start and Laurie played really well. It's about how many balls you get on strike versus your match-up, we got the bowlers to match up against. The keeper has the best view of everything, so always a conversation to have, and Laurie handled [the captaincy] really well. We're peaking at the right time, nothing to lose, long may it continue."

yorker again, Bravo can't time that either. A single to finish, and Dre Russ signs off for the CPL with a commanding display

Russell to Raine, FOUR runs

slower ball, well timed, and slammed through wide long-on. A bit of a polish to a valiant chase

1w
Russell to Raine, 1 wide

fired past the legs. Too little too late

97
2
Russell to Raine, 2 runs

cracked on the up, off the full length, just eludes the backpedalling man in the covers

96
Russell to Raine, no run

fires in the short ball, turns inside-out but can't connect on the reverse-pull

The crowd is legging it for the exits like something out of a recent scene at Old Trafford (the other one)

95
W
Russell to Wiese, OUT

swung hard, but not hard enough! Bat through ball, outside off, but straight at mid-on. Valiant, but this game is done now

Russell to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

nurdled off the legs to the on-side. And now it's sixes or bust

93
Russell to Dwayne Bravo, no run

brilliant, this is a gamesealing set. Another swing and miss from Bravo, who can't line up a tight approach from his Windies team-mate

92
Russell to Dwayne Bravo, no run

huge heave on the full length, round the wicket outside off, and suddenly it's more than four a ball needed

91
2lb
Russell to Dwayne Bravo, 2 leg byes

round the wicket, and scuttles through Salt's clutches! Bravo misses his clip, Stanley does brilliantly to save the boundary

Dre Russ to DJ Bravo. It's a Caribbean Box Office finale!

Hypocaust: "Just ticked over 700 runs at Headingley today." Are you entertained? It's like watching Bazball!

1
Walter to Dwayne Bravo, 1 run

flicked off the hip, but straight at short square leg

DJ Bravo... hello there. And the cut-off time has been missed... 11 balls with one fewer players in the deep

89
W
Walter to Hose, OUT

clouted hard off a good length... straight at deep midwicket! A roar of relief through the stump mic, or was it Hose's frustration? Either way, a mighty knock ends...

Adam Hose c Hartley b Walter 59 (27b 6x4 3x6 40m) SR: 218.51

It's still in the three-a-ball ballpark!

88
1
Walter to Wiese, 1 run

slower ball, back of a length, hacked down the ground, as long-off rushes in to gather

87
2
Walter to Wiese, 2 runs

swings through the pull, well placed behind square but a good intercept on the rope

86

Walter to Wiese, SIX runs

lumped majestically over long-on! And you know what, I sense there's a bit of panic in Originals now... On a hittable length and deposited!

Walter to Wiese, 1 wide

loses shape on the slower ball, dribbles down leg... so many extras!

Little to Hose, 1 run

yes it is, outside off again, inside-edged on a hack to leg. An expensive dent in Little's outstanding night's work

Is this the last ball of a nine-ball set?
