Full commentary
9:14pm "This game didn't really matter apart from the 2nd and 3rd place," says Superchargers captain Harry Brook. Yep, pretty much. We'll find out tomorrow how much it does when Trent Rockets host Birmingham Phoenix. Until then, good night!
9:10pm Tonight's Meerkat Match Hero is Jos Buttler for 70 off 37, his third half-century this season: "It was a little bit tricky, a little bit slow. I thought we bowled exceptionally well, bar three or four balls, which allowed us to chase it down.
"I thought as a unit we bowled really well… which was probably a bit frustrating, actually, showing our best cricket in the last game when we're out of the tournament.
[On a disappointing season]"We left a lot out there. There were a couple of games we definitely should have closed out. We never quite found our rhythm. We probably deserve to be where we are in the end."
9:02pm It's a dominant win for Originals, their second over Superchargers this season. But their campaign ends here. Superchargers, meanwhile, are likely to head into Saturday's Eliminator at the Oval in third. That means, should the match be rained off, Trent Rockets - unless they endure a cataclysmic defeat tomorrow which destroys their Net Run Rate - will be granted passage to Sunday's final as the team to finish second in the table.

Rashid to Buttler, OUT
Revenge... of sorts! Buttler going for party tricks now, switching to a left-hand grip and trying to carve over cover. Ends up losing his middle stump. Game won, though, and Buttler gets a generous and deserved ovation from the Headingley crowd

Angled into Ravindra, even with the retreat to the leg side, opens the face to find a single into point

Rashid to Buttler, 1 run
Shimmies to the right, advances into the leg, ends up working himself as Rashid darts this one, but still a single banked out to deep midwicket

Rashid to Buttler, SIX runs
Back over his head it goes! Really slow, hoping Buttler's movement is offset by 42mph of loop. Sadly not. Flat and hard.
Rashid.... to Jos...

Lawes to Buttler, no run
Lovely footwork from Lawes, puts that into the stumps from six yards out! Alas, Buttler has dived back into his stumps after losing the ball after defending it into the pitch

Lawes to Buttler, no run
Misses with the reverse scoop! Not quite the bounce for him there, even though Lawes send that down at 84mph outside off

Lawes to Buttler, SIX runs
Buttler's finishing this in a hurry! Biggest six of the night, surely, carted over long on as Lawes goes into an advancing Buttler, who smears that for 92m!

Lawes to Buttler, FOUR runs
Tight to the stumps, does Buttler with a bit of nip, but a streaky thick inside edge beats Patel diving to his right at short fine!

Tossed up, Ravindra on one knee and hammering again, this time along the carpet, cut off by deep midwicket

More flight, on leg stump, Buttler drives just past Rashid and inside mid on enough to get the single

Rashid to Ravindra, 1 run
Flighted full just outside leg stump, Ravindra sweeps, gets a bit of glove fine, but Pepper does well to scoot across and get his pads in the way. Saves three

Rashid to Ravindra, SIX runs
Glorious! That's Originals down below a run a ball now, as Ravindra gets a juicy floaty one on middle stump and goes low-to-high with another slog sweep over midwicket

Googly, starts full-ish on middle, tucked away to deep midwicket from in front of leg
