9.45pm: A crushing victory for Superchargers in the end, who break the hold of Edgbaston in this competition - and it was a vital one, only their second win, and it keeps them just about in contention for the knockout stages. The Adams, Lyth and Hose, did the business with the bat, while David Wiese played an important cameo and then picked up excellent figures with the ball. Phoenix suffer only their second defeat of this year's Hundred, but have lost some ground in tussle with Oval Invincbles for third spot, behind London Spirit and Trent Rockets. Anyway, that's enough for tonight. Join us again tomorrow for more 100-balls action. Bye!
David Wiese is the Match Hero: "[Death hitting] Sometimes it works out for you, kind of what I've been working to do all tournament, come in and capitalise at the end. It's about confidence, if it's in your zone you have to back yourself to clear [the ropes]. We said we've given ourselves some hard work to qualify for the playoffs, want to keep the momentum going now and hopefully we can sneak into those spots."
A word with Faf du Plessis, too: "We needed that, we lost three on the bounce and needed that momentum change. Good for confidence. Needed it in terms of defending as well. When one side is small, push it as wide as possible even if you bowl a couple of wides. [Moeen dismissal] Mo's a quality player but he likes to get his hands going. Pace off on that wicket, it stops a bit. Thought we were under [par], but wickets bring you back into the game. David Willey went bang-bang and we felt we were ahead. Wiese has been really good all round, good to see him consistently performing. DJ Bravo does what he does best, whatever side you need him to bowl. We've played good cricket, let ourselves down with some catches. Tight games that we've lost, and put down guys at crucial times. Small margins, need to take chances against good players."

HJH Brookes b Wiese 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Henry Brookes in to bat. Supers have been told they must have an extra man in the circle now - not that it'll matter
BAC Howell c Miles b Wiese 22 (29m 18b 2x4 0x6) SR: 122.22
Supers are a minute away from the cut-off, so are going to be penalised. But Phoenix almost need six per ball from here anyway
