And Joe Clarke adds to the drama by breaking his bat.
This game isn't slowing down any time soon.

Phil Salt absolutely nails the first ball, but it hits the stumps at the non-strikers' end! That was destined to be four otherwise.

Spare a thought for poor Steven Finn, though. He bowled 15 balls for 51 runs.
He did take two wickets but I'm not sure that'll make him feel much better.

Taylor: Was meant to be at The Hundred tonight watching the Northern Superchargers but instead I’ve been taking weeds out the patio and filling in holes in the garden. Looks like I haven’t missed anything…

John Simpson... that was magic!
Simpson, remember, is actually from the Manchester area (Bury).

But what an amazing innings we witnessed from John Simpson.

Surely the crowd had a big impact on the last 20 balls or so for Manchester Originals.
But it wasn't exactly a great start for them, either. These drops potentially set the tone for the carnage that was to come ...

Thanks, Phil.
Well, I don't really know what to say! How do I follow that?!

Headingley is bouncing.
Superchargers 200-5published at Ball 100
CARSE HAS DONE IT!
He sticks is bat out and sends the ball skidding away to the rope.
The Superchargers are the first Hundred team to score 200!
