Scorer: Ranjith P

9:14pm "This game didn't really matter apart from the 2nd and 3rd place," says Superchargers captain Harry Brook. Yep, pretty much. We'll find out tomorrow how much it does when Trent Rockets host Birmingham Phoenix. Until then, good night!

9:10pm Tonight's Meerkat Match Hero is Jos Buttler for 70 off 37, his third half-century this season: "It was a little bit tricky, a little bit slow. I thought we bowled exceptionally well, bar three or four balls, which allowed us to chase it down.

"I thought as a unit we bowled really well
 which was probably a bit frustrating, actually, showing our best cricket in the last game when we're out of the tournament.

[On a disappointing season]"We left a lot out there. There were a couple of games we definitely should have closed out. We never quite found our rhythm. We probably deserve to be where we are in the end."

9:02pm It's a dominant win for Originals, their second over Superchargers this season. But their campaign ends here. Superchargers, meanwhile, are likely to head into Saturday's Eliminator at the Oval in third. That means, should the match be rained off, Trent Rockets - unless they endure a cataclysmic defeat tomorrow which destroys their Net Run Rate - will be granted passage to Sunday's final as the team to finish second in the table.

Rashid to Buttler, OUT, Revenge... of sorts! Buttler going for party tricks now, switching to a left-hand grip and trying to carve over cover. Ends up losing his middle stump. Game won, though, and Buttler gets a generous and deserved ovation from the Headingley crowd
