Full commentary
5.45pm: For a while it looked like Superchargers were going to pull off the highest chase of the women's comp, but they fell away badly. That's not an option for us, as we launch straight into the second half of the 'Eadingley double-'eader - the toss in the men's game will take place shortly, with Birmingham Phoenix men looking to retake top spot with a sixth win of the group stage. Should be fun. Bye!
5.40pm: The Butterkist Brummies have done a number on the home side at Headingley, and their late surge continues - three wins in a row have taken them up to third, and they can only be caught if London Spirit pull off some sort of mathematical miracle to sneak in on NRR. Northern Superchargers won three of their first four games, but have slipped steadily off the pace; Lauren Winfield-Hill was on fire in the chase today, but once she departed, she took her team's hopes with her.
Eve Jones is Hero of the Match: [Winfield-Hill catch?] "Yeah, haven't take a catch this tournament so nice to hang on to on. Lauren was batting really well, they had momentum, big moment in the game. [Consistency and scoring rate] Both, my game has come on a long way with strike rates and freedom, nice to go out and express myself. [Working on game] Power and trying to hit down the ground more, pleasing to execute that. Played in the KSL, this has been a huge step up and really enjoyable, loving my cricket right now."

Davidson-Richards comes down and is stranded! Beaten by a little extra bounce as she swung across the line, nowhere near the pitch and Jones has time to count a couple of beats before completing the stumping

Arlott to Laura Harris, OUT
Arlott yorks her! Two in two, Kimmince departs and Phoenix are suddenly aflame...! Pinpoint on middle and leg, so precisely bowled that is grazes the toe of the bat and skids along the turf into the timbers. Arlott is mobbed by her team-mates and suddenly the wind is blowing only one way!
Laura Harris b Arlott 10 (13b 1x4 0x6 15m) SR: 76.92
Last 20 and Superchargers need 37, almost two runs per ball from here. Hollie Armitage is next batter in
