And Hose wins it with a six! Full, into off stump, heaved over long on! What a win, and what an innings from Nicholas Pooran! Finishes on 66 from 33, Hose with a tidy 27 off 14. Originals botched that in places, but Pooran was a class above

Full commentary
9:02pm We'll have more Hundred action - and Stokes updates - tomorrow. As for now, it's goodnight from us!
9:02pm An eventful game, not least for Ben Stokes' hamstring injury which makes the England captain a doubt for the Test series against Sri Lanka which begins in 10 days. "It doesn't look great, unfortunately," says Harry Brook. "I think he'll be getting a scan tomorrow and we'll see how he is."
9:00pm "That's why he's one of the best players in the world!" beams Superchargers skipper Harry Brook. Let's hear from the undoubted Meerkat Match Hero, Nicholas Pooran: "It's definitely one of my better innings in the game, the situation, the need for a hundred runs when I came in, and coming in a new format.
"We have been inconsistent in this tournament. And in T20 tournaments, even 100-ball tournaments, peaking at the right time is so important."
[On the 113m six off Currie] "Yeah I was surprised! I was surprised that ball went up so high. As soon as I saw it went up I thought 'OK, we're in here'."
8:53pm Supercharges scored 118 off the last 37 balls there. Absurd. It's a stunning victory that moves Superchargers third, and consigns Originals to yet another defeat, though they're aready out of it so, well, who cares.
Ben Stokes is out there with crutches shaking hands with the Originals. It is confirmed as a hamstring issue, with updates to come tomorrow upon further assessments. But it's not too great a stretch to suggest that might be his summer over.

Currie to Pooran, 1 run
Full, pummelled down the ground but not quite timed, long on field and Pooran takes the single given the position Superchargers are in is far, far better now

What a set of five - 22 from it! 4 needed from 5, Scott Currie back into the attack. What a remarkable innings. What a game! They were 38 for 2 after 50 deliveries!

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, SIX runs
And there you have it! Holds something back does the bowler, straight, and Pooran hammers high down the ground, and just over the sponge! It was high full toss, which is often hard to get away. But not when you're hitting them like this!

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, no run
Full toss, thrashed down to long on... and Pooran turns down the single! Wise move. Two hits to win it, six deliveries remaining.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, SIX runs
Pace off and another six! Carted over midwicket with ease. Oh my, Pooran you absolute dream!

6
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, SIX runs
Full, wide... carved over extra cover for six! Sensational shot to bring up his third fifty of this season's Hundred - from 29 deliveries - and now Superchargers need 16 from 8...
91
4
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, FOUR runs
Full, into leg stump, pumped straight down the ground for four! Great adjustment from the left-hander to get his feet out of the way without losing his balance and strike so powerfully!
26 needed from 10 with a helluva match-up; Pooran hitting to the shorter leg side, with Farooqi to bowl the first five...

Currie to Hose, 2 runs
Slower ball into the pitch, Hose cloths this to wide mid on and Pooran has a battle on his hands to get back for two to be on strike for the final two... and he manages it with ease

Currie to Hose, no run
Another one out wide, full, Hose across again, missing completely again!

Currie to Hose, SIX runs
Into Hose this time, who is inside the line and swing/pulls that from his knees all the way for six! Landed flush on the sponge. Outrageous shot!

•
Currie to Hose, no run
Similar delivery... but Hose steps across and misses, so the umpire makes the fair call to deem that legal

1w
Currie to Hose, 1 wide
Fired wide, but too wide according to the umpire
Good signs as Stokes is now sat in the dugout with his teammates. Presumably has his left knee/hamstring very strapped. Doesn't look overly chipper...
86
2
Currie to Hose, 2 runs
Heaved high in the air... but mid off can't get back to it in time as it plugs and sends the fielder past the ball and almost into the boundary themselves. Get back for a couple

Walter to Hose, FOUR runs
Just out of the reach of Aspinwall at midwicket! Hose hops and flays a short ball into the deep and the youngster charges and hurls himsel at the ball, but his attempt at a one-handed pluck does not come off
84
1
Walter to Pooran, 1 run
Pace on, into a full length, pushed inside-out into cover for a single
83
4
Walter to Pooran, FOUR runs
Into the pitch, cramping Pooran for room, who responds with a spin on his heels to flick around the corner. Holden manages to get there before it hits the sponge and throw it back into play but not before his legs touch the sponge! At least that's what the standing umpire thought
82
1
Walter to Hose, 1 run
Clothed in the air trying to slog sweep from outside off... but the connection is so poor it just plugs in the ring at square leg
81
2
Walter to Hose, 2 runs
Pace off, outside off, Hose across and cutting behind point but out to deep third
Paul Walter back in, Adam Hose on strike...
