Full commentary

5.47pm So, three down, one to go, in today's double-double header. The winner of Originals vs Invincibles will head for the eliminator. Matt and PDP will be all over it shortly. Cheerio!

5.43pm Well, that was puzzlingly comprehensive from Superchargers. Despite some at-times abject fielding, they have surged to victory against last year's champions, whose drab campaign ends in a whimper. Rehan Ahmed was gutsy with the bat, as he was with the ball, but Wayne Parnell's four wickets capped a strangulatory spell from the Supercharger spinners, with Parkinson and Rashid claiming a wicket apiece at a total cost of 42 runs.

The Match Hero is Wayne Parnell "Really special to finish with a victory. We were 20-30 under-par, but we backed ourselves. Bang it in, keep it simple, stick to the plans. Nice to be with these guys. I'm now going back home to see my wife and my kids." With a nice shiny medal round his neck too.

Willey to Hogan, 1 run

dipping on the full length, punched out to cover, Superchargers defend 135 with room to spare!

Willey to Lintott, 1 run

low full toss, shaping out towards middle, clipped to the on-side

98
1
Willey to Hogan, 1 run

easy-angled drive to deep cover, looks pretty but straight at long off

97
W
Willey to Baker, OUT

bowled him! It's home and hosed now! Willey spears in the full length, through Baker's defences, and Willey celebrates with a forward roll, in potentially his final impact of his stint at Headingley

Sonny Baker b Willey 0 (2b 0x4 0x6 4m) SR: 0

A five-a-ball game...

1lb
Parnell to Baker, 1 leg bye

full again, strikes the pads on a tight line from over the wicket, deflects out to point. What a stint from Parnell. Game-winning effort

And now it's a four-a-ball game!

94
W
Parnell to Fuller, OUT

bowled him! And that, surely, is curtains for Brave! He sent fine leg back but didn't flinch from his own areas. Another yorker, at pace in to the toes, a deflection off the pad and into the stumps!

James Fuller b Parnell 25 (23b 3x4 0x6 25m) SR: 108.69

Parnell to Fuller, FOUR runs

excellent response! Shuffles to the off-side, opens a new angle, and finds it well with a flat sweep from the good length outside off, through fine leg

92
Parnell to Fuller, no run

stunning, tight yorker, skids past off stump. Fuller can but waft at thin air

91
Parnell to Fuller, no run

fired past the pads on the full length, but in fact it flicks the pad... dot ball

More like a three-a-ball game now... boundaries are a must for Fuller here

Wiese to Lintott, no run

outstanding bowling. Hitting the right side of the tramline on the wide yorker. Lintott looks hopeful but that's a perfect death delivery

89
Wiese to Lintott, no run

offcutter, good length, Lintott can only meet it with a front-foot drive

Wiese to Fuller, 1 run

pinged hard off the full length, wide outside off and straight at Miles in the deep. That was travelling but he got in the way well

Wayne Parnell 3/12 (15)

It's a two-a-ball finish

85
1
Parnell to Lintott, 1 run

another pull from back of a length, pace off the ball, another measured pull to wide long-on

84
2
Parnell to Lintott, 2 runs

slower ball, round the wicket, into the pitch, gets on top of the pull and good running brings two. That's what Brave need...

83
W
Parnell to Rehan, OUT

deep in the crease, big swivel-pull but he can't get hold of it properly! Parnell bowls into the wicket, Rehan loses his shape in search of the boundary option, but Brook at wide long-on deepens the gloom for Brave

Rehan Ahmed c Brook b Parnell 33 (29b 4x4 0x6 44m) SR: 113.79
82
Parnell to Rehan, no run

leaning back on the cut, can't connect on the slower ball

81
2
Parnell to Rehan, 2 runs

driven off the full length, out to deep cover, skims to the man in the deep who judges the fast-moving ball well
