  1. Postpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 20 August 2023

    Calvin Harrison is named Match Hero after taking 5-11. The best bowling figures in the men's Hundred. You will be able to read what he had to say very shortly.

  2. Spirit press onpublished at 50 balls left

    Spirit 73-3

    The Spirit batters are upping the pace a little, with Ghosh and Knight taking a four each off sets from both Freya Davies and Alex Griffiths.

    This partnership is now worth 39 off 26, 89 needed at the half-way stage.

  3. champagne moment

    Originals win by 81 runspublished at 25 balls left

    Game over. Adil Rashid's little cameo comes to an end as he top-edges a pull into the air and Laurie Evans takes a simple catch.

    An absolute emphatic victory for Originals, who win by 81 runs.

  4. Superchargers 81-9published at 28 balls left

    Superchargers have at least avoided the lowest score in the Hundred as Adil Rashid hits back-to-back boundaries, the first a lovely wristy flick through leg side before opening the face and guiding the next ball down to third.

  5. Superchargers 73-9published at 30 balls left

    92 runs needed

    With the game over as a contest it has all gone a bit scrappy as Adil Rashid and Reece Topley try and have a bit of fun.

  6. Ghosh on the attackpublished at 60 balls left

    Spirit 54-3

    Consecutive fours for Richa Ghosh off the bowling of Alex Hartley, twice finding the ropes over the covers.

    Sophia Dunkley enters the attack and holds the Spirit batters to three runs.

  7. Superchargers 70-9published at 35 balls left

    Reece Topley is having a swing, and why not.

    He has two fours already, including jamming the bat down on an attempted yorker from Zaman Khan and paddling it down to the fine leg boundary.

  8. Confusion for Harris dismissalpublished at 70 balls left

    Fire 43-3

    Great confusion as Ismail seemingly has Grace Harris out lbw. She reviews the decision, the ball skimmed her thigh pad so it was fairly high. She may also have got some bat on the delivery as it passed through and the ball landed in the keeper Sarah Bryce's hands. So a double threat to Harris's wicket, but it's lbw for which she ultimately departs.

    Captain Heather Knight sends Alex Griffiths for a big six down the ground. That's the third of this innings. Despite their high score, Fire only hit one. Richa Ghosh is at the other end.

  9. Superchargers 64-9published at 40 balls left

    101 runs needed

    Calvin Harrison ends his 20 balls with figures of 5-11. Not a band afternoon's work.

    Incidentally, the lowest score in the Hundred, both men's and women's competition, is 73.

  10. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 41 balls left

    Parkinson b Harrison 1 (Superchargers 60-9)

    Five for Harrison!

    It is an ugly short from Callum Parkinson as he goes for the sweep but can only bottom edge back onto his stumps.

  11. Postpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 20 August 2023

    Tom Hartley bowled this absolute beauty to bowl Harry Brook earlier.

    A lot has happened since then.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 45 balls left

    Carse c Tongue b Harrison (Superchargers 56-8)

    Start the car.

    Calvin Harrison has his fourth wicket as Brydon Carse slices the ball straight to Josh Tongue at short third for another simple catch.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 49 balls left

    Wiese c Buttler b Harrison 4 (Superchargers 55-7)

    Snicko showed a faint edge as ball went past bat. The bat was close to pad at the same time, but it is enough for the third umpire to uphold the decision.

    Another wicket goes.

  14. Superchargers reviewpublished at 49 balls left

    It is another beauty from Calvin Harrison as he gets one to turn away from David Wiese and flick past the outside edge.

    The umpire says out but Wiese immediately reviews. Did he hit the pad with his bat?

  15. Superchargers 55-6published at 50 balls left

    110 runs needed

    It is very nearly a seventh Superchargers wicket as David Wiese top-edges a sweep to the mid-wicket boundary, but neither of the two converging fielders take responsibility and the ball lands safe.

  16. Postpublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 20 August 2023

    This already feels like a long time ago.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 56 balls left

    Parnell c Zaman b Harrison 11 (Superchargers 50-6)

    Folding like a deck of cards.

    Spin does the business again as Wayne Parnell gets a cover drive all wrong and slices it straight to Zaman Khan at short third.

  18. Ismail has breakthroughpublished at 80 balls left

    Spirit 28-2

    We didn't have to wait all that long for Shabnim Ismail, she enters the attack and with her second delivery sends down a full toss, a swivelling Dani Gibson helps the ball on its way for a six.

    But Ismail gets her revenge from the following delivery, trapping Gibson lbw. The all-rounder walks without reviewing but that does look it might be travelling down the leg-side - turns out it would have been umpire's call.

    Amelia Kerr comes in to replace Gibson but her time in the middle is short, she skews a Claire Nicholas ball into the covers and Tammy Beaumont takes a diving catch.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 60 balls left

    Brook b Hartley 2 (Superchargers 48-5)

    What a beauty! Tom Hartley gets a delivery to pitch on leg and turn sharply away from Harry Brook and clip the top of the bails.

    Brook cannot believe it. But he has been done by a ripper there.

  20. Spirit begin responsepublished at 90 balls left

    Spirit 15-0

    Fire start with Freya Davies and Claire Nicholas, holding star bowler Shabnim Ismail back for now.

    Spirit batter Dani Gibson makes up for her dropped catch in the closing stages of the Fire innings, taking a four over mid-off from Davies before smacking Nicholas for six down the ground.
