- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 steepler, held at midwicket! Short tries to go long, but the ball just goes up... Ferreira is again the man underneath it, had to wait a long time for it to come down but pouches the catch safely. Curran strikes third ball, pace on and Short just mistimed his swish across the line 22/22.4 short and clubbed - straight to deep square leg! Clark has been thoroughly worked over by Johnson here, and walks off with a six-ball duck. Another metre and it would have been six, but it doesn't quite have the legs as Ferreira shuffles into position in front of the rope. Invincibles draw first blood 16/19.1 full toss... miscued to long-on! Brook falls to just about his first shot in anger, and from a dreadful ball, too. Zampa let go of this a fraction too early as Brook charged at him, but he didn't get it anywhere near the middle of the bat. Cox had to come in from long-on to take it low down and send the Superchargers captain on his way 58/313.5 full, wide and dragged a mile back into his stumps! Unfortunate for Hose, as he went across his stumps and aimed a violent slog to cow corner. Big inside edge and it clips off stump to give Mahmood a wicket 89/417.5 Robinson gets cute, gets out! Went well outside off, Curran followed him with a floaty cutter, and Robinson's reverse-ramp dollies up for short third to take a simple catch. Decent cameo from keeper, though 128/5Extras14 (lb 5, w 9)TOTAL145/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Graham Clark, 2.4 ov), 2-22 (Matthew Short, 4.3 ov), 3-58 (Harry Brook, 9.1 ov), 4-89 (Adam Hose, 13.5 ov), 5-128 (Ollie Robinson, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 fenced leg side, straight to midwicket! Clark bellows in celebration, Superchargers have the breakthrough. Tucked him up after probing in the corridor. Jacks had scratched around and ends up flubbing a head-height catch to the man in the ring 17/111.2 slog-swept, but picks out the man! Malan has played the anchor role but needed to get going. Chocks away was the cry as he launched the ball flat behind square but Graham Clark raced in and threw himself forward to take another fine catch. Hands under it, and he comes up trumps 60/56.5 tossed up, Cox takes the bait! He thought he'd cleared the man but Hose does brilliantly on the rope! Takes the catch going back at long-on and then backhands it up into the air before two-stepping the cushion and completing the dismissal. Superchargers get a second 39/29.2 rips through him with the quicker one! Billings is camped in the crease and can't get the bat down in time, it goes on with the arm, flicks the back pad and rattles middle and leg. Right on the money from Santner and Superchargers might begin to believe here 53/310.4 launched straight - Santner bags a BLINDER! Curran must have thought he'd hit this well enough, and fine enough, that he would get four if not six. But Santner sprinted into view from long-on and threw himself full length to reel in the catch two-handed. Superchargers on the move 59/418.2 picks out the man in the deep! The heist is foiled, and Brook is all smiles, having just moved the cover sweeper square. Potts persists full and wide, Ferreira tries to hit him out of the park but can't clear the man. The sub fielder, Tom Lawes, screams in celebration and Invincibles know the jig is up 120/815.1 full outside off, pace off and Curran holes out! Hoicked high into the south London sky, but never had the distance, especially hitting to the longer boundary. Santner takes a few steps in from deep cover and pouches it without drama. Superchargers getting closer 85/615.2 pitched up straight, dug out back towards Potts... who gets a hand to it, then scrambles back to run out Sowter as they try to steal one! Fine work by the big fast man and Invincibles have lost another. Ferreira wanted the strike but he had to sacrifice his partner 85/719.2 hits off stump as Zampa walks across! Clark bowls full and straight, misses his yorker (if we're being harsh) but pings the woodwork regardless. Superchargers just dotting the 't's and crossing the 'i's 123/9Extras23 (b 10, lb 2, nb 2, w 9)TOTAL126/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Will Jacks, 3.4 ov), 2-39 (Jordan Cox, 6.5 ov), 3-53 (Sam Billings, 9.2 ov), 4-59 (Sam Curran, 10.4 ov), 5-60 (Dawid Malan, 11.2 ov), 6-85 (Tom Curran, 15.1 ov), 7-85 (Nathan Sowter, 15.2 ov), 8-120 (Donovan Ferreira, 18.2 ov), 9-123 (Adam Zampa, 19.2 ov)
