Full commentary
9.18pm: Northern Superchargers bulldoze the opposition in both rubbers at Headingley. The Popchips are top of the pops in the men's and women's competitions! Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan and Harry Brook blazed a trail to the highest score of the season, and the bowlers then defended with aplomb, Jacob Duffy, Matt Potts, Adil Rashid and Tom Lawes all in the wickets
Adil Rashid is Match Hero: "Thought we played exceptionally well. Batters put runs on the board, allowed us to go out and hunt wickets. We've got some world-class players, firepower in the middle. Fortunately we got a score on the board. [Plans] Trying to keep it simple, uses your variations, they're going to come hard so got to try and be unpredictable. Sometimes you know boys' strengths and weaknesses from bowling to them in the nets, so that helps. Always learning, hopefully can carry on."
And that's your lot for tonight, folks. Join us again tomorrow for another quadruple patty from Nottingham and The Oval. From myself, Vish and Vairavan, it's good night!
