Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Alan Gardner

9.25pm: Phoenix utterly rumbled on their own patch, bowled out for the lowest total in the men's Hundred (the previous mark of 87 was also Phoenix against Originals, at Old Trafford last year). A thumping win for Manchester Originals and they are up to third in the table, and have their destiny in their own hands with one game left in the group stage. In fact, we will have two virtual quarter-finals next week, with Originals hosting Oval Invincibles and Phoenix travelling to London to take on Spirit - only two of those four can progress (assuming Trent Rockets don't slip up against winless Welsh Fire tomorrow). Anyway, that's a wrap for tonight - Matt's report will be up shortly, and we'll be back for more as the competition enters the final straight. Bye!

Tom Hartley is the Match Hero after his 4 for 22: "It was a nice wicket to bowl on, hybrid and used, just tried to use the pitch as much as I could. [Ecclestone success in women's game] Sophie's a good indication because she bowls quite fast. If she's going to get it to turn, I'll hope to do the same. We thought we put a good score on the board, use our cutters and spin options and be smart with the small side. [Running into form at right time] We saw Southern Brave do it last year, we lost the first three but have picked up good rhythm and the boys are really getting along, so there's no reason we can't."

Originals captain Laurie Evans: "Huge win. They've been must-win all the way through, since we lost three out of three. The boys made me look good with all my changes. We thought we were under par but turned out to be a competitive score. [Hartley] He bowls the hard overs for Lancashire, and it was so good to see him pick up the rewards. [Salt dismissal] He wasn't happy, we weren't happy! We just had to calm him down. He played fantastically well, once again showed how good he is. [Captaincy] Loving it, haven't done a lot. Come at a time when I feel I've played enough cricket. Jos and Kat left me in a great position with the squad and great to get a performance tonight. [Lammonby] He's a fantastic fielder and so good to see him finish off the innings, a gem of a knock because we were a little bit under par. [Deciding group game against Oval] Looking forward to that game, and winner takes all."
