yorker again, Bravo can't time that either. A single to finish, and Dre Russ signs off for the CPL with a commanding display
Originals vs N S-Chargers, 21st Match at Leeds, Men's Hundred, Aug 21 2022 - Ball by Ball 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."
clipped off the yorker length to the on-side
slower ball, well timed, and slammed through wide long-on. A bit of a polish to a valiant chase
fired past the legs. Too little too late
cracked on the up, off the full length, just eludes the backpedalling man in the covers
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)
swung hard, but not hard enough! Bat through ball, outside off, but straight at mid-on. Valiant, but this game is done now
nurdled off the legs to the on-side. And now it's sixes or bust
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
huge heave on the full length, round the wicket outside off, and suddenly it's more than four a ball needed
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!
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
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...
It's still in the three-a-ball ballpark!
slower ball, back of a length, hacked down the ground, as long-off rushes in to gather
swings through the pull, well placed behind square but a good intercept on the rope
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!
loses shape on the slower ball, dribbles down leg... so many extras!
And still the requirement is close to three a ball...
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?
tighter line, swivels through the pull, to the on-side
tighter line, cuffed to the on-side, Dre Russ tumbles to intercept on the rope
