9.41 pm In a Hundred version of the Roses rivalry, the White Rose Superchargers jolt the Originals. And how! The first ever 200 score of The Hundred by the hosts and the visitors finish 69 runs behind. They were never in the chase at any stage. Superchargers move up to fourth after the win.
Match Hero is John Simpson: "It's definitely been a special one, the last six to seven weeks for sure. We knew it was going to be a massive match in front of a packed house at Headingley and hopefully it'll stand us in good stead for Tuesday. It was one of those things to get used to the wicket, take four or five balls, and then it came off. It's been great [keeping to Adil Rashid]. Playing with him has been fantastic and Mujeeb is world class. They've got fantastic variations. Every once in a while they'll bamboozle me, but they keep the pressure on."
That's it from us tonight. Come back tomorrow for more Hundred doubleheader action. Take care!

Raine to Parkinson, OUT, no drop this time! Length ball slapped high toward Kohler-Cadmore at mid-off, he ranges 10 yards to his left to take the catch in stride at rib height. A thorough demolition from Superchargers is complete!
