5:43pm Right. That will be a wrap from us for this game. Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we loved bringing to you. Do hop over to our coverage of the second Men's Hundred match of the day, which features the Manchester Originals and the Oval Invincibles. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) saying goodbye on behalf of Sudeep, Thilak and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo. Take care!

5:37pm Phew, what a contest that was. Right at the start, it felt that the Rockets would trample over the Superchargers, especially after Wood ripped out three in the first ten balls he bowled. The visitors, though, injected momentum into their innings at the death, eventually posting a total that proved to be beyond the hosts' reach.

Parnell was brilliant with the ball for NS, as was Topley, who defended 9 runs off the final five balls. Rashid and Parkinson also did their bit, with the latter accounting for two batters in the middle overs. They also used the ground dimensions well and forced the Rockets to hit into areas that were well protected - something that was in stark contrast to how the hosts bowled in the corresponding phase.

Speaking of the Rockets, they would be disappointed with how many of their batters failed to go on after decent starts. Each of Hales, Munro, Kohler-Cadmore, Hain and Sams scored 15 or more, yet, none of them managed to muster more than 29. They lacked a few ideas against the Superchargers' spinners too, meaning that by the time Sams began flexing his muscles, they were playing catch-up.

Topley to Gregory, 1 run, the Superchargers win! Topley has done it for the visitors! Low full toss speared outside off. Gregory, anticipating it, walks across and tugs at it. Cannot get it past deep mid wicket, though, and he only manages a single off the last ball. Two wins out of three for the Superchargers, and they go to the top of the table!

Four to tie it. Six to win it. Anything other than that, and the Superchargers will win (unless there are extras)

Topley to Imad Wasim, 1 run, excellent yorker on middle and leg stump. Imad backs away and squeezes it out to long on. Gregory is content with the single

6 needed off 2 now. Imad is a handy batter to be coming in at this stage

Topley to Sams, OUT, in the air and taken at long on! Full on middle and leg stump. On most occasions, Sams would have backed himself to tonk it into tomorrow. Today, though, he mistimes it completely and Wiese, running in from long on, holds his nerve to nudge the Superchargers ahead in this contest!

Topley to Sams, 2 runs, full and wide outside off. Sams throws the plumbing at it and scuffs it over extra cover. Gets a couple of runs for his troubles

8 off 4. Can Sams find the fence? Topley might look to go into the surface and angle it across

Topley to Gregory, 1 run, length delivery pushed across outside off. Gregory swings at it and shanks it down to long on. Just a single

9 needed off 5. Topley to bowl the final set. Gregory on strike. A proper grandstand finish...

Parnell to Gregory, 2 runs, full toss way outside off. Gregory reaches out for it and glides it to deep backward point. The throw is quite weak and Gregory has no problem getting back for the second

The crowd comes to life, and that could be a crucial moment in the game
