Sam Drury and Timothy Abraham

  1. That was entertaining stuff at the death. My colleague Sam Drury is on hand to talk you through the Superchargers chase.

    This could end up a cracker so stick with us.

  2. Imagine what Dre Russ could do with two hands...

    If you're still dealing in T20 mode, if you convert it the Superchargers would need 194 to win, just to give you some idea of the Originals total.

    It's a comical end to the innings, really. Russell reaching for it so much he fell over and sort of belly flopped - and then it was dropped!

  5. Originals 161-4

    Dwyane Bravo sends it wide and Andre Russell is like Bambi on ice stretching to reach the ball and spoons it to the fielder, who drops it diving forward.

    Russell gets on his feet and manages to run a single to finish.

    That was a lot of fun wasn't it? Northern Superchargers need 162 to win.

  6. Scott Read

    Catch it in the crowd if you can! Six more for Russell.

  7. 6 runs

    Originals 160-4

    You bet he can! A full ball from Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell times it and hoists it into the stands.

  8. Originals 154-4

    Dwayne Bravo bowls it quick and wide to Andre Russell and there's nothing scored off it. Excellent bowling again.

    Two balls left. Can Russell go big again?

    It is only 10 balls but if batters can come in and have this sort of impact... he's played brilliantly.

    The big man goes. It was good fun while it lasted.

    WICKET

    Walter lbw b Bravo 23 (Originals 153-4)

    Final five balls, to be bowled by Dwayne Bravo.

    He strikes with his first to get Paul Walter lbw by taking the pace off the ball. That was clever bowling from Bravo.

  12. Scott Read
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Walter is no frills about it but I love it. It's just stand there and whack it!

  13. Lydia Greenway

    That second six was massive from Walter!

  14. Phoebe Graham
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio

    It's Faf du Plessis out there and you'd expect him to catch that. He's slipped and he's got some bright orange boots on that he's looking at suspiciously now.

  15. 6 runs

    Originals 153-3

    And another! Stand and deliver from Paul Walter and he hits it with such power that it bursts through the hands of Faf du Plessis down the ground.

    Next ball Walter then hits what is surely the biggest six of the night!? He launches into the building site next to the ground.

    Wow. Some hitting.

  16. Phoebe Graham
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio

    Russell is looking at the toe of his bat - who knows what would have happened if it came out of the middle?!

  17. Scott Read
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Back over the bowler's head and into the seats in front of the pavilion!

  18. 6 runs

    Originals 141-3

    An emphatic yes is the answer! Andre Russell biffs David Wiese goes down town with another huge slogged six.

  19. Originals 132-3

    Two big men at the crease. Two powerful big hitters. Can the Originals clear the boundary a few more sixes in these last 10 balls?

  20. Scott Read
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    He's got hold of that and then some, Andre Russell! It's a big hit out to deep mid-wicket. It's a real hammer blow.
