Alex Hartley
Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat was a brilliant shot from Tom Kohler-Cadmore - he doesn't care if Rashid Khan is the best mystery spinner in the world. But a ball later he shows why he is so good, and so hard to pick, to get the breakthrough.

Kohler-Cadmore b Khan 6 (Superchargers 107-5)
Funnily enough, the world number two ranked bowler in T20s doesn't like getting hit down the ground and takes his revenge.
Rashid Khan gets the ball to skid on a tad, perhaps a googly too, as Tom Kohler-Cadmore hacks away but missed and sees his timbers rearranged.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore mashes Rashid Khan down the ground for four!

Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraJoe Root has been getting a bit of flak from the home fans - they do realise he's playing for their team?!
Superchargers 102-4published at 80 balls
Samit Patel wheels through a very tidy five balls, conceding only three runs.
The last is bashed into the ground by John Simpson and flies straight to Patel.
The crowd cheer the catch, but that bounced first.

Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat's a good catch as sometimes the ball gets lost in the floodlights. That was the wicket that Trent Rockets needed after this little partnership.

Brook c De Lange b Gregory 38 (Superchargers 99-4)
Not too much damage done by Samit Patel's drop in the end.
Harry Brooks skies it up in the air next ball and Marchant de Lange pouches it.
After his misfield earlier, he'll be happy to make amends. And that's a key wicket for the hosts.

Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat's not ideal from Samit Patel. It was straight at him and he's tipped it over the bar.
Brook dropped on 34published at 73 balls
Oh, Samit.
Never the, er, most agile in the field, Samit Patel jumps and tries to take a thick outside edge off Harry Brook's bat.
It should be taken but Patel misjudges it and palms the ball away for four instead.

Harry Brooks sweeps Matt Carter's last ball away for four.
Carter still finishes with a very handy 2-17 off his 20 deliveries.
Superchargers 89-3published at 68 balls
Mix-up! Harry Brook is halfway down the pitch and sent back by John Simpson.
Rockets keeper Tom Moores picks up and tries to lob the ball towards bowler Matt Carter, but ends up hitting Brook's back instead.
Brook didn't change his line so no danger of being out obstructing the field there.

Harry Gurney
Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraI'm allowed to laugh at Marchant de Lange as that was typically the kind of thing I'd do on the boundary!
Superchargers 87-3published at 65 balls
Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.
Marchant de Lange has a mare on the boundary as he overruns it as the ball spins away from him while he slips over, conceding a four which should've been one.
Superchargers on the charge (sorry). They scored 13 off five balls from Joe Root there.
