2:13pm: Another thrilling finale in the women's Hundred, which has gone above and beyond this season and we're only at the halfway stage. Supercharges move into second, knocking Welsh Fire down to third and going level on 8 points with first-place Southern Brave. That's all from us - see you soon!

2:10pm: Unsurprisingly, Alice Davidson-Richards is your Match Hero. Not just because of that death over, or the 3 for 23 from her 15 deliveries but a useful cameo of 11 off 4 at the end of the Superchargers innings!

80
W
Davidson-Richards to Morris, OUT

Brilliant! Davidson-Richards has done it again! Morris heaves out to deep square leg and Smith makes no mistake coming in to take the catch. What a brilliant final set - two wickets and just 5 runs conceded. Gutsy display from Superchargers to turn things back there way at the death.

Fi Morris c Smith b Davidson-Richards 1 (3b 0x4 0x6 6m) SR: 33.33

Five to win, four for a tie...

79
1
Davidson-Richards to Wellington, 1 run

Short - very short - and slow - very slow - and AJW is right across the stumps and can only cloth one in the deep. Did Davidson-Richards mean to bowl it like that? Either way, it worked!

6 required off the final 2...

78
2
Davidson-Richards to Wellington, 2 runs

Charges again, has to skew one into the leg side again because of pace off. This time the throw goes into the nonstriker's end but safe once more

77
2
Davidson-Richards to Wellington, 2 runs

Pace off again, Wellington's dancing down the pitch and manages to get it away to deep midwicket. Wareham throws to the striker's end but the Australian has got back just in the nick of time

Amanda Jade Wellington comes out to the middle

76
W
Davidson-Richards to Lamb, OUT

Gone! What a wicket that is! Davidson-Richards takes pace off the ball and Lamb, pre-empting a scoop, ends up lifting the ball straight to Heath behind the stumps

Emma Lamb c †Heath b Davidson-Richards 49 (36b 6x4 1x6 53m) SR: 136.11

Right, here we go - 10 needed off 5, ADR, who has closed out a few games, takes the ball

Cross to Morris, 1 leg bye

Morris tries and fails to reverse lap over the keeper. Gets outside the line of off stump so that the impact on pad is not an LBW shout, plus she can scamper a single

74
1
Cross to Lamb, 1 run

Lamb gives herself room on the leg side, Cross follows her and this is driven out to midwicket

73

Cross to Morris, 1 run

Swings to the leg side for a single, fielded by deep midwicket

W
Cross to Ecclestone, OUT

Crossy does it! Cross full and Ecclestone bunts back to the bowler for a simple return catch. There's a hint this may be a bump ball and Ecclestone is waiting around after walking but decides to carry on

Sophie Ecclestone c & b Cross 13 (9b 1x4 1x6 16m) SR: 144.44
71
1
Cross to Lamb, 1 run

Short and pulled out to backward square leg where Smith does the fielding

Another match flips in The Hundred! Just 14 needed from 10 and Kate Cross returns to see if she can undo her former side

Smith to Ecclestone, SIX runs

Huge! Brilliant use of the feet from Ecclestone, gets right underneath a length delivery and carts it back over the bowler's head for six!

69
1
Smith to Lamb, 1 run

Flighted, not all that full, but swept away for a single to deep midwicket

68
1
Smith to Ecclestone, 1 run

Wide, very full and dug out to long on for a single

67
1
Smith to Lamb, 1 run

Moves across and sweeps in front of the stumps. Close to being bowled... but luckily Lamb gets some glove on it

66
1
Smith to Ecclestone, 1 run

Corrects the line on off stump and Ecclestone is down and sweeping once more for a single

66
1w
Smith to Ecclestone, 1 wide

Starts with a wide down the leg side. Ecclestone just needed a touch on it for four

Now then, 25 needed from 15! Linsey Smith returns with 10 left to bowl

Davidson-Richards to Ecclestone, FOUR runs

Easy as for Ecclestone! Dragged down by Davidson-Richards and worked around the corner! 17 off this five...

64
1b
Davidson-Richards to Lamb, 1 bye

Brilliant slower delivery flummoxes Lamb who tries and fails to attempt the sweep. It almost fools the keeper too, who manages to dive across and get a hand to stop it running away for four

63
6
Davidson-Richards to Lamb, SIX runs

What a strike! Bit short again and Lamb swings across the line. It doesn't look like she's connected all that well with it, but it flies just beyond Wareham pressed right back on the midwicket sponge. 12 off the first 3 of this set...

62
4
Davidson-Richards to Lamb, FOUR runs

Typical... Right after the drop, bit of width and Lamb crunches a cut shot for four in front of point

61
2
Davidson-Richards to Lamb, 2 runs

Dropped! Short and Lamb heaves across the line, high to the fielder out at deep square leg. It's Higham, who has good hands, but it slips through her fingers! Lamb given a life on 33
