    Banton c Whiteley b S Curran 81 (Superchargers 155-5)

    WHAT A CATCH!

    Tom Banton tries to swing the ball leg side, it goes a long, long way up and Ross Whiteley comes racing in from the boundary.

    It looks like he won't get to it but he dives forward and holds on to a stunner!

    The end of a superb knock from Banton but that's a big five balls from Sam Curran.

    Tom Banton is still there on 80 not out. Will he get the Superchargers over the line?

    Are we going to see another Somerset boy help himself to a century in The Hundred?

    Good yorker to finish from Spencer Johnson but David Wiese digs it out for a single.

    Sam Curran will bowl the next five.

    Zaib c S Curran b Johnson 17 (Superchargers 147-4)

    Breakthrough for the Invincibles!

    Saif Zaib tries to go over the top but doesn't get hold of it.

    Sam Curran runs back and takes another catch with the ball dropping over his shoulder to give Spencer Johnson his first wicket of the night.

    Tom Banton has been in the wilderness a little bit and out of reckoning for England.

    Swing and a miss from Tom Banton to start the set and then a run out chance next ball!

    Banton clubs it to mid-off and set off. Sam Curran gathered it cleanly and was not far away with his shy at the stumps.

    Direct hit and I fancy Banton was gone.

    Spencer Johnson is coming back with the Invincibles in desperate need of a wicket.

    Big chance for the Invincibles as Tom Banton charges Nathan Sowter again but is beaten by the spin.

    Unfortunately for the visitors, Sam Billings is beaten by it as well. Stumping chance missed and the ball runs away for four to add to Sowter's misery.

    The spinner ends with figures of 1-48 from 20 balls.

    Tom Banton goes again!

    He skips down the track to Nathan Sowter, is beaten in the flight but adjusts and hammers it over the ropes for yet another six!

    And another! Banton goes again - this is incredible hitting from the Superchargers opener!

    Tom Banton swipes Sunil Narine into the gap on the leg side for four!

    Superchargers looked to have a mountain to climb but they are climbing it!

    58 from 30 balls isn't easy but it is definitely doable.

    SIX! Saif Zaib this time!

    Launched over the ropes again and the Superchargers are, well, charging towards their target now!

    Same shot from Tom Banton - and this one goes all the way for six!

    He's clearly decided the reverse sweep is the way to go against Nathan Sowter and he's nailed two in a row.

    Brilliant shot from Tom Banton to bring up his half-century from 30 balls!

    It's a big reverse-sweep, well in front of square for four. Class.

    A couple of short balls to finish from Gus Atkinson and they get him out of the set nicely.

    Just a single from the second of them, top-edged over the keeper by Saif Zaib but the deep third fielder cuts it off.

    No-ball from Gus Atkinson and that gives new batter Saif Zaib a free hit... and he cuts it away for four!

    I've been really impressed with Gus Atkinson. It is an easy pace. He reminds me a bit of Jofra Archer.

    I can't imagine an England call-up is too far away.
