8:33pm Well that escalated quickly. All done tonight - see you all again tomorrow!

8:29pm The Net Run Rate boost sees Birmingham Phoenix leap-frog Northern Superchargers (0.19 to -0.92) and move into third.

Your Meerkat Match Hero is Tim Southee who orchestrated the first innings capitulation with 3 for 15: "We assessed conditions reasonably quickly and the seamers hitting their lengths helped that. A great performance all-round.

"It's a great team to be a part of, and it's nice to talk up another win along the way. It's always nice to win. To win like that can only do wonders for the confidence. Most guys have that mentality: enjoy today, leave it behind and onto the next one."

Potts to Moeen Ali, SIX runs

And Moeen wins it with a six! Carted down the ground to end a spectacular chase. Granted, it wasn't many, but they've knocked off their target of 84 with 39 balls! It's the biggest win by balls remaining 61 - beating the 43 Welsh Fire left when beating Manchester Originals this season - and the first ever 10-wicket win in the men's Hundred! DaWolf: "What's politely termed "an absolute thrashing"."

2nb
Potts to Moeen Ali, (no ball)

Bumper, down the leg side... and it's a no ball! On height rather than front foot, so no Free Hit

38
1
Potts to Duckett, 1 run

Slower again, this time fuller and straighter. Short enough for Duckett to wait and punch through midwicket for a single

37
Potts to Duckett, no run

Slower delivery, loops and dips beyond Duckett's attempted cut shot

36
4
Potts to Duckett, FOUR runs

Scoooooooop! Duckett nails it for the third time, Potts with a leg cutter into the surface, looping up and allowing Duckett to help it on its way. Topley had just been brought up into the circle from deep fine as well

Dirk: "These Brummies are on fire! 2.2 rpb on a wicket they bowled out a side for 83. It's a shame they can't make a century as the NSC just put too few runs on the board... Will they chase the total before the 50 ball mark?" We'll see. 11 needed off loads.

MW Short to Duckett, no run

Swing and a miss as this one keeps low, darted in by Short

MW Short to Duckett, FOUR runs

Slapped down the ground! Still makes room, but as Short veers straight, Duckett just gives it the baseball swing straight along the carpet

33
MW Short to Duckett, no run

Duckett makes room, but can't beat Brook at cover

32
1
MW Short to Moeen Ali, 1 run

Shorter, rocks back and cuts to deep cover

31
2
MW Short to Moeen Ali, 2 runs

Moeen down the track, nowhere near the pitch of the ball, skewed through midwicket instead of down the ground

Matt Short's off spin. Just because

4
Clark to Duckett, FOUR runs

Leading edge... and that's gone for four! Clark turns Duckett inside out as he attempts to tuck into the leg side but ends up skewing the ball high in the air towards third and away for his 7th boundary of the innings

29
4
Clark to Duckett, FOUR runs

Ramps again! Another well-judged, well-pre-empted move from Duckett to move out to the off side and offer the full face of the bat. The shot was made a lot easier by the full toss

Hampy: "Crikey, only Manchester originals could lose it from here"

28
Clark to Duckett, no run

Full into leg stump, worked away to Adil Rashid at wide mid on, but straight to him

27
1
Clark to Moeen Ali, 1 run

Short, whipped into the leg side but off the under edge.

26
Clark to Moeen Ali, no run

Length and Moeen chips this high towards mid on, albeit on the bounce.

27 needed off 75. Ermmm... yeah, call this one. Jordan Clark, what have you got?

Topley to Moeen Ali, SIX runs

And another! Full toss this time, lifted over square leg impeccably. The Powerplay is done - and at 57, it is the highest of this year's tournament so far!

24
6
Topley to Moeen Ali, SIX runs

What a sound! Having changed his bat, Moeen finally gets one out of the screws, high over square leg. That one sat up and begged to be carted

23
4
Topley to Moeen Ali, FOUR runs

Gets hold of that one! Topley is fuller, but Moeen has enough room to wrap his bat - and wrists - around one to flick behind square, beating at backward square leg Potts to the sponge

22
Topley to Moeen Ali, no run

Good response from Topley, dragging his line across, knowing Moeen was going to go for the onside again. Moeen wants a wide but he's not going to get it

21
4
Topley to Moeen Ali, FOUR runs

Short, into the left-hander, dismissed to the deep midwicket boundary for a once-bounce four!
