Headingley witnesses feast of six-hitting as Originals keep knockout hopes alive

9.58pm So, a vital win for Originals, who make it three from three in a well-timed burst of form. They are right in the play-off mix now. The Superchargers are all but out of contention now. From Miller, Alan and Ranjith, goodnight!
9.54pm So ends an entertaining run-laden day at Headingley. Superchargers couldn't emulate the women's chase earlier today, but it was a decent showing all the same, with Adam Hose's 59 from 27 and Adam Lyth's 46 from 24 giving them hope. But ultimately it was the unrelenting weight of hitting from Originals that made the difference, with their record total of 208 made possible by some violent assaults from Salt, Evans, Stubbs and Walter, whose three wickets were also key in the defence.
The Match Hero is Phil Salt for 55 from 25: "We know here is a good wicket, keen to get a good start and Laurie played really well. It's about how many balls you get on strike versus your match-up, we got the bowlers to match up against. The keeper has the best view of everything, so always a conversation to have, and Laurie handled [the captaincy] really well. We're peaking at the right time, nothing to lose, long may it continue."
