5:58pm That's all from us here, but the Hundred action continues with Birmingham Phoenix hosting Northern Superchargers featuring a certain Ben Stokes...
5:50pm Here's Sam Curran, another Meerkat Match Hero performance in the bag: "I thought with the ball, it felt like we bowled really well and hung in the game. With The Hundred, and 10 balls at one end, you can really squeeze when a new batter comes in.
"It's self belief. Everyday it's going to be someone different. We're winning close games and we're really pleased."

SM Curran to Usama Mir, OUT, And Invincibles have won it! Originals botch another chase to the team that know how to win... Curran hows a low full toss just outside off, carved high to Tom Lammonby out at deep point who keeps his cool to hold on. Invincibles win by three to move level with Southern Brave at the top with 8 points... and Originals are officially out of the play-off reckoning!
Usama Mir c Lammonby b SM Curran 2 (11m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00
4 needed from the final delivery... Usama Mir on strike... Sam Curran with 3 runs conceded from his 4 balls so far...

SM Curran to Usama Mir, 2 runs, Wide, hit hard out to deep extra cover. Run hard and make it back for two

SM Curran to Usama Mir, no run, Usama shapes for the ramp immediately and Curran responds with a 72mph cutter, from a length not quite there for ramping. Excellent from Curran, but a really needless attempt at creativity from Usama

SM Curran to Overton, OUT, Overton goes! How about that for a start?! The hot hand prevails; length, pace on, enough shape into the right-hander to draw the inside edge through to Billings. Now, now, now...
J Overton c †Billings b SM Curran 14 (11m 8b 1x4 1x6) SR: 175.00
Right Sam Curran - let's see what you've got today. Originals require 7 from 5...

Johnson to Overton, FOUR, Inside edge for four! Fortunate favouring the Originals right now. Johnson finishes with a full delivery, just outside off, and Overton narrowly avoids taking out his own stumps
