Thanks for joining us for the first of the men's double-header Saturday at the Hundred. The next bit of action is about to get underway soon, as London Spirit and Southern Brave meet at Lord's. Until next time, take care and good night!

Harry Brook is the Player of the Match: "The boys played beautifully on a good pitch. To get to nearly 200 was perfect in the first innings. We assess the conditions as quickly as possible. The boys bowled beautifully. We were a bit unlucky at times. We're happy with the momentum we take into the next game."

5.16pm A comfortable win in the end for Superchargers after their batters laid the foundation for a huge total. One look at Invincibles' scorecard shows everyone bar Billings getting a start in the top seven, but neither of the six batters went on to have an impact in the chase. Ferreira cracked 41 off 15 balls to speed things up, but by then, it was too late. Eventually, table toppers Invincibles fell 16 runs short, leaving them level on 20 points with Superchargers, who are behind only on NRR.

Potts to Clark, 1 run, OUT

a low full toss on leg, and whipped to fine leg. Good work by the man at deep-backward square, as he runs and slides to his right to prevent a boundary, The throw goes to the keeper, who whips the bails off. Duffy is the fielder, and he finds Clark short of the crease. So that's another run-out, and Invincibles win by 16 runs

1W
Potts to Billings, 1 run, OUT

on the bounce to deep midwicket's right. He has a hoick at this length ball on leg, and can't find the gap between deep-backward square leg and deep midwicket. Oh, wait!! He's run-out in going for a second. The non-reaction almost made me miss that. In fact, he was well short of the crease when the throw landed at the keeper's end
