9:02pm Early finish tonight! Back it and go again tomorrow for our twin double-headers. Night!

8:59pm Right, formalities here we go - Adil Rashid is the Meerkat Match Hero: "We're fortunate we got the runs in time as well, because the rain came 10 balls after that.

"I think we've got a very good squad. good batters, match winners all the way through. We've got a bit of a waitng game tomorrow and Thursday. but hopefully one of those two teams do lose and we're good Today, I put in a nice performance, taking three wickets."

8:55pm So the victory moves Superchargers into second on 11 points, played all their matches with Southern Brave and Birmingham Phoenix, both on 10, yet to play their final games. Superchargers need a favour from Welsh Fire (who play Brave tomorrow) or Manchester Originals (who play Phoenix on Thursday).

8:49pm Finally... match abandoned! Northern Superchargers win! London Spirit's season ends in bleak fashion, which is sort of no less than their performances have deserved, old time, particularly with the bat.

8:46pm They need to be playing by 9:31pm here, otherwise this is off. And it's heavier rain now...

8:40pm Auxiliary covers coming on now - i.e. the sheets that cover the important bits around the pitch, like the run-ups and square. I'll be honest, looks like we're done here. Just awaiting official confirmation...

8:38pmYep. covers coming on now as the players charge off. We've got about 15 minutes to play with. Crucially, if we get no more play, Superchargers get the two points

Bopara to Robinson, 1 run, Full again, angled into leg stump, another single out to deep midwicket
8.3

Bopara to Short, 1 run, Pushed out to midwicket once more as Bopara opts for a straight, full line

We're not far away from coming off here as raincoats and umbrellas go up in the stands

Bopara to Robinson, 1 run, Short, Robinson slaps out to deep midwicket for a single as the umpires share a knowing glance.

Bopara to Robinson, no run, Wobbled outside off, defended to cover

Looks like Ben Stokes is heading home now as he says goodbye to the Supercharger lads. Ravi Bopara into the attack as the rain returns. NS well ahead on DLS, of course
