That's it for the double-header Sunday from the 100. We will be back with more action soon. Till then it's goodbye and good night from all of us here. Take care and be well.
Harry Brook | Superchargers captain: [on Pooran] Lost for words, phenomenal innings unbelievable hitting, that's why he is one of the best in the world. We were trying to hit to the short boundary , I was trying to hit from this end, he was trying to hit from that end. They had a belting start, one of the coaches told me they got 60 off 70 at the end was ridiculous, we had Santner and Rashid, two of the best in the world. [on Potts] He has phenomenal, he is my go-to man at the death and he bowled 10 on the trot which he has been begging me to do. [on Pooran] He doesn't run twos, I was trying to push him, he knows he can hit them for sixes, so many people can learn a massive lesson from that innings. These West Indians, as we saw with Pollard the other day against Rashid Khan, these boys are so powerful. [on Pooran] I'm in the gym more than him. [on the captaincy] It has been good, unbelievable and we are all buzzing with the win. Good wicket and I played a lot of cricket here, if you bowl to the dimensions it is difficult to score. Hopefully we have another good pitch at Headingley, strange week, bit of rain and got bowled out for 80, took away some mmentum from us. [on Topley] He woke up with vertigo, he has gone back to Leeds. [on Stokes] Doesn't look great unfortunately, will get a scan and see how it is.
Match Hero, Nicky P: It was one of my better innings, it's a new format, but happy that I could contribute. Happy that he has struck form at the right time, really happy he could contribute and fight. I was surprised, that ball went up so high. I am happy that I could get the win, hopefully we can get this result again. You got to peak at the right time, hope we are getting there at the right time.
Stokes is seen in crutches as he shakes hands with his opponents. Further updates regarding his injury are awaited. But definitely doesn't look good for England's Test series against Sri Lanka.
20:51 Local Time, 19:51 GMT, 01:21 IST: Great comeback win by the Superchargers. At the halfway mark they just had 38 and were struggling. Pooran took his time to get in and then he showed what a destructive player he is. One of the best in the white-ball format currently.
16.1
Scott Currie to Adam Hose, SIX, and Adam Hose has finished it off. What a win for the Superchargers too.
Philip Salt chirps: "Here's the game now, Scotty Currie"
15.6
Scott Currie to Pooran, 1 run, full outside off, driven hard and straight to long-on and Pooran takes one
Who will bowl the last set? Pooran will be on strike. Currie it is.
15.5
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, SIX, third six of the set. Just 4 needed off the last 5 now. A low full-toss on off, Pooran slices the loft and Overton at long-on can only watch it sail over, Pooran looks at the bat, he did not hit that well at all, but such is the power of the man
15.4
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, no run
10 off 7 now. Superchargers ahead.
15.3
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, SIX, to deep mid-wicket
15.2
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Pooran, SIX, when Pooran is on fire, no bowler is spared. Full and wide outside off, Pooran sinks on one knee and lofts over sweeper cover, Fazalhaq Farooqi can't believe that has gone for six, he can only stand in disbelief.
Immediately Philip Salt goes to Fazalhaq Farooqi to have a word.
