5:58pm That's all from us here, but the Hundred action continues with Birmingham Phoenix hosting Northern Superchargers featuring a certain Ben Stokes...

5:50pm Here's Sam Curran, another Meerkat Match Hero performance in the bag: "I thought with the ball, it felt like we bowled really well and hung in the game. With The Hundred, and 10 balls at one end, you can really squeeze when a new batter comes in.

"It's self belief. Everyday it's going to be someone different. We're winning close games and we're really pleased."

W
Sam Curran to Usama Mir, OUT

And Invincibles have won it! Originals botch another chase to the team that know how to win... Curran hows a low full toss just outside off, carved high to Tom Lammonby out at deep point who keeps his cool to hold on. Invincibles win by three to move level with Southern Brave at the top with 8 points... and Originals are officially out of the play-off reckoning!

Usama Mir c Lammonby b SM Curran 2 (5b 0x4 0x6 11m) SR: 40

4 needed from the final delivery... Usama Mir on strike... Sam Curran with 3 runs conceded from his 4 balls so far...

99
2
Sam Curran to Usama Mir, 2 runs

Wide, hit hard out to deep extra cover. Run hard and make it back for two

98
Sam Curran to Usama Mir, no run

Usama shapes for the ramp immediately and Curran responds with a 72mph cutter, from a length not quite there for ramping. Excellent from Curran, but a really needless attempt at creativity from Usama

6 needed from 3

Sam Curran to Holden, 1 run

Yorker, into middle and off, dug out to cover

Max Holden - leftie - to the crease

W
Sam Curran to Overton, OUT

Overton goes! How about that for a start?! The hot hand prevails; length, pace on, enough shape into the right-hander to draw the inside edge through to Billings. Now, now, now...

Jamie Overton c †Billings b SM Curran 14 (8b 1x4 1x6 11m) SR: 175

Right Sam Curran - let's see what you've got today. Originals require 7 from 5...

Johnson to Overton, FOUR runs

Inside edge for four! Fortunate favouring the Originals right now. Johnson finishes with a full delivery, just outside off, and Overton narrowly avoids taking out his own stumps

94
Johnson to Overton, no run

Wide, full, across... and just on the legal side of the tramline!

93
6
Johnson to Overton, SIX runs

What a shot! Incredible from Overton, short-arm pulling a back of a length delivery at him, into the advertising boards between midwicket and mid on

92
2
Johnson to Overton, 2 runs

Same again, not as quick - 70mph - pulled into the midwicket gap for a couple

91
Johnson to Overton, no run

Back of a length, across the right-hander, 86mph. Nailed as Overton tries to hit that down the ground

Spencer Johnson with the penultimate set...

Sowter to Usama Mir, 4 byes

Another perfect delivery, googly, scuttling through... but it nutmegs Billings and finds the boundary! That's hugely unfortunate for Sowter, but Originals won't care! They need 19 from the next 10...

89
Sowter to Usama Mir, no run

Darted in, googly once more, Usama hacks it into his own back leg

Usama Mir comes out to the middle

88
W
Sowter to Raza, OUT

Raza goes! The retirement hasn't worked... no real depth to work with because it's not quite short enough, but Raza tries to go up and under down to the leg side and ends up finding Cox out at wide long on

Sikandar Raza c Cox b Sowter 1 (2b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 50
87
1
Sowter to Overton, 1 run

Smart bowling from Sowter, flighting this one full, drifting into Overton, who can only push down the ground for long on

86
1
Sowter to Raza, 1 run

Googly, length, into the pads having attempted a flick around the corner. Get the run anyway with a leg bye

Sowter is the new bowler

MO-M: 140/4Need 25 from 15 balls
Jamie Overton1 (1b)
Adam Zampa 2/30 (20)

Look at that... Madsen has been retired out for 15 off 14. Smart move from Originals brains trust after Sam Billings - behind the stumps right now - did so a couple of days ago in the London Derby. Sikandar Raza is the new batter.

85
2W
Zampa to Madsen, 2 runs, OUT

Lifted over to fine leg... where short fine cannot make up the distance to take the catch. Madsen was on one knee lapping over his shoulder and just gets away with it

Wayne Madsen retired out 15 (14b 1x4 0x6 20m) SR: 107.14
84
Zampa to Madsen, no run

Excellent from Zampa - into a length, bit of zip, googly as well. Madsen shapes to access the leg side but gets no room

83
1
Zampa to Overton, 1 run

Big appeal for LBW as Overton goes down to sweep and wears this on the knee roll... given as runs so the umpire clearly thinks it's bat, but that's a great shout. No review left, of course

Vinod Rajpal: "TIE in making....what say @Vithushan Ehantharajah" I say bring it on... Jamie Overton, another big hitter, comes to the crease

82
W
Zampa to Walter, OUT

BACK TO BACK... he's gone! Oh my days... Walter gets a hold of this one away to the grandstand, but Sam Curran is out at deep midwicket and is in play on the very edge of the boundary as the wind holds it up. Catches, relays to himself, collects. Easy as. What a moment

Paul Walter c SM Curran b Zampa 28 (14b 0x4 4x6 14m) SR: 200

Zampa to Walter, SIX runs

LAUNCHED! Right idea by Zampa, enticing the big shot... but Walter is up to it. It was right in the slot, too. Outstanding strike

Here's Adam Zampa...
