That's a big wicket. David Miller was looking to drag that leg side and I don't know if he's come across it too much, and it's resulted in him being bowled. Either way Josh Tongue won't mind at all. I think it was a bit of a cross seam delivery from him.
You feel the game is in the hands of the Manchester Originals. They've been brilliant today.

David Miller commits to the shot early but it's pace-off from Tongue, who knocks back the stumps.
Surely, there's no way back for the visitors now?

David Miller goes after Lewis Gregory again.
But this time, he's not got hold of it fully.
Rachin Ravindra at long-off takes the catch but has to toss it back while falling over the rope. Good work from the Originals fielder.

David Miller hits another maximum.
At least, he is not giving up this chase.

Brilliant effort from Noor Ahmad to rein them in after that expensive over from Scott Currie.
Only two runs conceded by the left-armer.
Superchargers require 90 runs from 40 balls.

That's huge. David Miller's taken his bottom hand off the bat as he hit that. It's gone such a long way. Great elevation.

An expensive set from Scott Currie - 17 runs coming from it.
And it's all from David Miller, including two fours and a huge six over the mid-wicket.
He has shifted into a higher gear here with the required run rate mounting for Superchargers.

Image source, Getty ImagesThat is brilliant from Sonny Baker! Dawid Mallan was just trying to pull a delivery that perhaps wasn't quite short enough or kept a little bit too low.
Either way, he is on his way back to the pavilion. That's a big blow for Northern Superchargers.
They need more than two runs per ball so they need to really put their foot down now.
Malan b Baker 19 (Superchargers 63-5)

The slower ball from the young pacer does the trick as Dawid Malan tries to swing across but misses and pays a heavy price.
A crucial wicket for Originals as Superchargers' fortunes look bleak at the halfway stage.

Scott Currie posted figures of 3-21 against Welsh Fire on Wednesday.
And he keeps things tight in this set, conceding just five runs and keeping the boundary away.

A really good 10 deliveries from Noor Ahmad. He is just showing why he is so sought after in franchise cricket.
He has so much variation, he has a brilliant orthodox delivery but he also has the googly as well.

Another classy shot from Dawid Malan!
He is that sort of player, isn't he? He is a touch player and he times the ball really well. I wouldn't say he is a player that bludgeons the ball, but he always hits with class.

Noor Ahmad balls 10 on the trot.
Some cheeky bit of batting from Dawid Malan as he reverse-laps the second ball of the set to the boundary through third.

That's a lovely shot from David Miller!
It was just so wristy. That bottom hand just came through and he broke his wrist through the ball to drive it on the off side. There was a deep boundary rider out there but he wasn't quite straight enough to cut it off.

David Miller joins forces with Dawid Malan in the middle for Superchargers.
And the South African is off the mark with a four, creaming it through cover from Noor Ahmad's penultimate delivery.

Image source, BBC Sport/CricVizWinViz sees both games as foregone conclusions at this point.
Will there be a dramatic turnaround at either?
Image source, BBC Sport/CricVizLawrence lbw b Ahmad 1 (Superchargers 42-4)
Pitching in line and clipping the off stump, and Dan Lawrence has to walk here.
He went for a reverse sweep and missed it completely.
It's not looking good for Superchagers.
