    A man dropped it in the crowd, too. He's already looking at his phone, probably got all his mates texting him about it.

    It's absolutely gone miles!

  4. Superchargers 128-4published at Ball 76

    Hartley is on to try and stop the Superchargers charge.

    He doesn't start well as Simpson smacks him down the ground for six!

    He's top-tiered him.

    Into the business end.

    Simpson times and places a cut shot brilliantly. Four more.

  7. Superchargers 116-4published at Ball 72

    The Originals have done a fine job of taking timely wickets this evening, to check the Superchargers just as they were looking to really accelerate.

    Parkinson comes back and is pulled for four by Vilas.

    How about this for a catch to dismiss Lynn earlier?

    There’s someone here in a full Birmingham Phoenix kit, orange cap included, with Moeen Ali’s name on the back of the shirt. I think he’s at the wrong game.

    Ackermann continues.

    He is unlucky as Simpson dabs at one and edges the ball, sending it running all the way to the padding for four.

    Jordan Thompson was trying to carry on being aggressive. It looked like a simple catch, but we've seen two simple ones dropped so we'll say that was a great catch on the boundary!

    A brief but exciting cameo comes to an end.

    Thompson c Hartley b Ackermann 27 (Superchargers 106-4)

    He can do more than that!

    Thompson looks to pull one but miscues it and makes it a simple catch in the deep from Hartley. A useful partnership is ended. A blow to the home side.

    Can Colin Ackermann stem the runs with his spin?

    He can. He makes a good start to his set.

    It's a belter of a pitch. It was always going to be high-scoring, it's going to be a thriller but Manchester are in danger of being batted out of the game here.

    The “Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire” chants are getting louder and louder as Thompson whacks it around.

  19. Superchargers 103-3published at Ball 60

    SIX MORE! Thompson throws his bat at a wide full ball and it slices off the face for a maximum. He's filling his boots now, taking the home side to three figures.

    Time for a tactical timeout with the Superchargers pair both in.

    That's one of those where there's no point in the fielder chasing it. It flew off the bat.
