    Rashid is likely to be on after this set of five and then suddenly this task becomes so much harder.

  2. Originals 39-2published at 71 balls left

    162 more runs needed

    So, Henry Moeran on the radio just said that the Superchargers made their 200 from just 69 balls because there were 31 dot balls in the innings.

    That can't be real, surely?!

  3. Originals 36-2published at 75 balls left

    End of the powerplay.

    This is such a tough ask for the Manchester Originals. They still need 165 from the last 75 balls. Just typing that makes me wonder how on earth the Superchargers were able to get that total in the first place, even though it was only about 20 minutes ago.

    The big wicket of Joe Clarke. As soon as he hit that he knew he didn't have enough. It is pretty obvious, but that has gone a long way to looking like they may lose this game.

    The run-rate keeps going up and David Willey still has his trump cards up his sleeve in Rashid and Mujeeb.

    Clarke c Potts b Willey 10 (Originals 31-2)

    Oh dear.

    Clarke goes for another big shot, and is caught on the boundary. I think we'll be seeing a few more batters getting out in this way tonight.

    It's soooo loud! It's a school night as well. Madness.

    We are not turning up the volume here. It really is this loud in the stadium.

    Colin Munro's first ball is a dot - no runs come from it. I'd forgotten what one of those was.

    Potts has run his fingers over it as an off-cutter. That is probably why Phil Salt was through the shot before the ball came. A good win for the bowler.

    The first wicket goes down and the Western Terrace goes berserk!

    Salt b Potts 18 (Originals 31-1)

    Well, he had to go for it.

    Salt takes a huge heave, trying to repeat the six from the ball before, but he's nowhere near it and the ball crashes into the stumps.

  14. 6 runs

    Originals 27-0published at 83 balls left

    And this one's gone straight back over the bowler's head for six more!

  15. Originals 23-0published at 85 balls left

    178 more runs needed

    Another four to Phil Salt.

    It's probably pretty obvious tactics given they're chasing 200 from 100 balls, but these two are going for it every ball. If it's not four, it's a huge swing and a miss.

    Good fun.

    I feel privileged. The two games I've seen, I've seen a hat-trick, a five-for and a side hitting 200.

    It's breathless stuff here at Headingley.

    Oooh, lovely. Joe Clarke plays a scoop/ramp shot for four.

    Still terrifies me when you see them get into position to play that shot. They properly square up to a bloke bowling nearly 90mph as if it's nothing. Not for me, thanks.

  19. Originals 14-0published at 91 balls left

    Joe Clarke adds four of his own - that was hit very hard and this looks like a dream pitch for batting.

    Surely they can't get close to this total. Can they?

  20. 6 runs

    Originals 9-0published at 93 balls left

    Is that the first of many? Joe Clarke smashes his first into the stands.

    Just the 192 more runs to get, then. Easy.
