    WICKETpublished at 48 balls left

    Lyth c Abbott b Russell 51 (Superchargers 86-3)

    Huge wicket! The Originals' big-money overseas all-rounder comes on and makes the crucial breakthrough!

    Lyth tried to carve the ball over the off side, mistimed it and Sean Abbott comes in off the boundary to take the catch.

    Game on!

    I don't want to jinx it but this feels like Northern Superchargers game to lose at the moment. They are in the driving seat with wickets in hand. They have David Willey and Adam Hose who are both in the runs recently.

  6. Superchargers 79-2published at 55 balls left

    83 runs needed

    Hartley pulls in back somewhat to end his latest set but the Superchargers are going along very nicely at the moment.

    We're almost at the halfway stage and they are certainly on top.

    Harry Brook is such an exciting young talent. And he's combining well with Adam Lyth. You don't think of Lyth as a big hitter but he's such an intelligent hitter of a cricket ball. He uses his feet well and creates angles to hit the ball. Really clever.

  8. Superchargers 75-2published at 58 balls left

    87 runs needed

    Buttler might be regretting giving his young spinner another five now. Lyth has swept the first two balls of this second set for four.

    The first of them is hit powerfully in front of square and into the gap before the second is deftly guided fine.

  9. Superchargers 67-2published at 60 balls left

    95 runs needed

    A good set of five from Hartley. Good enough to earn him five more, in fact.

    Because the boundaries are bigger on the diagonal it gave Freddie Klassen a chance to get round and take that catch.

    Freddie Klassen is a safe pair of hands. Michael Pepper thought he had enough to clear him but he didn't and is gone.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 62 balls left

    Pepper c Klaasen b Hartley 12 (Superchargers 65-2)

    Gone next ball, caught on the boundary!

    It was another very nice looking shot from Pepper, a checked drive but he might be wishing he had followed through with the shot now as falls perfectly into the hands of Fred Klaassen at long-off.

    A wicket at a key time for the Originals.

  13. Superchargers 65-1published at 63 balls left

    97 runs needed

    Lovely shot! Pepper finds the boundary with a beautiful reverse sweep that hangs in the air and drops just before the rope. One bounce for four.

  14. Superchargers 60-1published at 65 balls left

    102 runs needed

    A costly first five balls from Russell, 12 runs coming from them, including a maximum for Lyth.

    Lyth and Pepper are running well between the wickets, too. That's a must on a playing surface as big as the one we've got tonight at Old Trafford.

    The worm shows Northern Superchargers Men are eight runs ahead of Manchester Originals Men. Northern Superchargers Men are 60 for 1 after 35 balls. At the same stage Manchester Originals Men were 52 for 1.

    A great effort from a diving Matt Parkinson! That's gone a mile in the air off Adam Lyth's bat but it's just got enough on it to get over the boundary.

  16. Superchargers 55-1published at 68 balls left

    107 runs needed

    Andre Russell is on to bowl now and tests Lyth with a bouncer. The Superchargers left-handed is more than willing to take it on and heaves to high into the leg-side - just enough distance on it to clear Matt Parkinson.

    A great diving effort on the boundary but it's six!

    Michael Pepper will not have faced that much of Matt Parkinson and he's that kind of guy who takes getting used to with the slower pace he bowls at.

  18. Superchargers 48-1published at 70 balls left

    114 runs needed

    Good start from Parkinson. His first five cost just three runs.

    Old Trafford is usually a good ground for the spinners so you fancy how the Superchargers play Parkinson and Hartley could go a long way to determining the outcome of this one.

    It's in the balance. The depth of the Superchargers batting means I probably fancy them.
