    Carlos Brathwaite hits his first six, nearly taking out the Sky commentators' box.

    They'll need a few more. It's unlikely that they can win but the Originals have got to show some fight here and try not to crumble to something like 100 all out.

    The Superchargers have held all their catches so far. Yes, it is easier when a lively crowd is on your side and you've scored 200, but the Originals will surely be dwelling on these dropped chances ...

    Lammonby looking to flat bat that into the leg side, He got too much of it and sent it down long-on's throat. He is fuming. You feel if there was any chance for the Manchester Originals, it has just gone.

    Tom Lammonby looks like he's just going to have some fun out there. He carves Rashid for four before walloping a six.

    I am calling the game for the Superchargers but it has been such a bonkers night, who knows?

    I mean, it feels like the game is pretty much over. I just can't get over the noise of the crowd. They haven't shut up for the past hour or so.

    What has been incredible is that we have seen sell-outs. It is absolutely booming here. People have work tomorrow.

    I have been saying throughout this competition that I think the Originals are a batter short. You feel after Brathwaite, they do not have much batting. They have plenty of bowling.

    When it is not your night, it is not your night and at the moment everything is going the way of the side from Headingley.

    Ackermann c Kohler-Cadmore b Raine 7 (Originals 45-4)

    Literally everything is going the Superchargers' way. What a catch.

    Manchester Originals were dropping the simplest of catches, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore has just taken a stunner diving forward on the boundary, the ball barely inches off the ground.

    There's a short pause to check he took it cleanly, but replays show that it was fine.

  15. Originals 43-3published at 60 balls left

    Oh this is so hard for the Originals. What can they do? They need 158 from 60 balls and they've already lost three wickets.

    I wonder what the batters are saying to each other when they go for a chat between balls.

    The worm shows Manchester Originals Men are 18 runs behind Northern Superchargers Men. Manchester Originals Men are 43 for 3 after 40 balls. At the same stage Northern Superchargers Men were 61 for 3.

    We were speaking off air that we haven't many shockers in games. We had so much entertainment in the first half of this game. Simpson's hitting was unlike anything I've seen, You feel sorry for the Manchester Originals.

    Three down.

    It's already been a brutal night for the Originals and it's only getting worse. Munro edges the spinner behind to the wicketkeeper John Simpson, who can't keep himself out of the game!

    It is not the start that Manchester needed. They needed a flier. But there is not much you can do when you are chasing 200 from 100 deliveries. You only have to look at the Originals dugout, all of them with arms folded and looking glum.

    It's the other spinner, Mujeeb ur Rahman.

    This could go one way or the other - sixes or wickets. They've got to go for it.
