So Headingley living up to its bill of being the easiest batting venue at the Hundred. Wasn't the case in the first half but the wicket got batter and the batter got classier and bolder. Brook came, took charge as captain, didn't know what his changes were and laughed about it. Then he batted his team home to victory. That's curtains on a good game of cricket. We roll again tomorrow for Rockets v Phoenix. Until then, good night!
Nicholas Pooran | Match Hero: It feels amazing after that first game loss. Playing back to back games at home, guys wanted the win. The bowlers were fantastic. At the halfway point, felt it was a par score, looked at their bowlers, wanted to understand what they did, get set and then finish it off. It's always beautiful to play here in England. Wanted to come here and enjoy ourselves.
21:10 Local Time, 20:10 GMT, 01:40 IST: It wasn't supposed to be as simple as this for the Superchargers but was the impact made by Nic Pooran and Harry Brook who made a mockery of the bowling. Sure it did seem like pitch got better to bat under lights but it needed some high level of skill from Pooran and Brook to get this win so easily. Brave probably weren't brave enough with the ball. Akeal was under bowled and Rehan was overbowled despite getting hit. Graham Clark started well to set a good base early. Archer got rid of dangerman Short early. Jordan knocked over Clark with a pacy ball but Brook and Pooran closed the door on the Brave with a 50-run stand.

Akeal Hosein to Pooran, out Caught by Pollard!! An all Trinidadian affair this. Akeal Hosein the bowler fired this full outside off stump, Pooran the batter tried to muscle him down the ground, hit it too flat and Pollard the catcher is safe as a house always. Made that rocket hit look simple with the catch. Pooran walks off to a great ovation. Pooran c Pollard b Akeal Hosein 62(34) [4s-4 6s-5]
Akeal Hosein to Pooran, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
