    Six! Just enough on it from Tom Banton as he hits it back over long on.

    Will Jacks got fingertips on it as he jumped but couldn't flick it back with a team-mate running around the boundary.

    Hose c Jacks b Sowter 41 (Superchargers 85-3)

    Drilled straight to the fielder at long on!

    Adam Hose was going so well but he can't get the elevation he wanted as he hits Nathan Sowter down the ground and the ball goes flat, straight into the hands of Will Jacks.

  3. Superchargers 82-2published at 50 balls left

    Well bowled by Spencer Johnson to finish the set. He seees Adam Hose back away to leg and fires it down wide of off.

    Dot ball.

    All of a sudden Northern Superchargers are back in this. WinViz has them at 25%, I don't know about that.

    Target 186

    And another! Adam Hose is flying!

    Short again from Spencer Johnson and it is pulled very fine - up an over the wicketkeeper to the short straight boundary for six.

    Target 186

    Six more!

    We saw the reverse a few balls ago and now it's the conventional ramp from Adam Hose and he gets it perfectly off Spencer Johnson.

    Fantastic batting!

    Here's how Sam Curran picked up the wicket of Harry Brook.

    How important could this wicket prove to be?

  8. 6 runs

    Superchargers 68-2published at 55 balls left

    Target 186

    Adam Hose advances to Sunil Narine and goes for the big hit down the ground.

    He doesn't get all of it but there is enough power behind it to clear the fielder on the rope. Six!

  9. Superchargers 57-2published at 60 balls left

    Target 186

    Brilliant shot from Adam Hose!

    He gets in position for the reverse scoop and hits it up and over short third for four.

    Not quite as pleasing on the eye as the Joe Root equivalent of the shot but just as effective!

    There are some dark clouds overhead at Headingley and a few spots of rain are falling. Hopefully it comes to nothing.

    We've already had more than enough rain this summer.

    Target 186

    Nailed over deep mid-wicket by Tom Banton!

    That is a huge six! Hands on head from Sam Curran.

  12. Superchargers 44-2published at 65 balls left

    Target 186

    We have a quick umpire review for a stumping after Tom Banton swings and misses at Nathan Sowter.

    His foot was behind the line and never left the ground so it's a simple enough decision for the third umpire. Not out.

    Gus Atkinson took the first wicket for Oval Invincibles, removing Matthew Short for a duck.

    It was some catch by Sam Curran as well...

    Mystery spin time as Sunil Narine comes on and is greeted by a reverse sweep for four from Adam Hose.

    It was in the air for a while but in the gap. Useful runs for the home side.

  15. Superchargers 30-2published at 75 balls left

    Target 186

    Powerplay done and the Oval Invincibles will be delighted with how it's gone so far.

    Two key wickets and the Superchargers already need more than two runs a ball.

    If you've just been facing 90mph and then Sam Curran comes on you automatically think 'I have to go after this' but he is so clever. That is bowling as a unit.

    Brook c Billings b S Curran 4 (Superchargers 28-2)

    Feathered behind! Four and out for Harry Brook.

    Sam Curran attacks from round the wicket and cramps Brook for room as he tries to carve the ball away.

    The ball brushes the glove and goes through to Sam Billings behind the stumps. Big wicket for the Invincibles.

    Target 186

    Harry Brook is on and gets off the mark by smoking a drive through the covers for four off Sam Curran.

    Shot.

    Target 186

    Very good set from Gus Atkinson. He's up at 90mph again and showing why there are whispers of an England call-up, possibly even for the white-ball series in September.
