9.50pm: Pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap. The sixes flew like they were going out of fashion, but there was only going to be one winner. Having racked up the highest-ever score in the Hundred, Sunrisers delivered on Harry Brook's call for early wickets and pretty much killed the chase by halfway. David Willey played a valiant hand for 83 not out off 46 but Spirit are up against it now with one win from five

Player of the Match is Ryan Rickelton: "Great wicket, both teams batted incredibly well. Tough night for the bowlers, good to get over line. Thought Mitch was being a bit selfish not giving me any of the powerplay...! Amazing to be out there. [Approach] Bit nervous, hadn't got a real score yet. Looking to maximise opportunity. Mitch took a lot of pressure off. You realise the wicket is so good you've got to get as many as you can. [Advice to bowlers] Don't get too predictable, they've got a good line-up. Accept the ball is going to be flying but try to stay one step ahead. Five wins is the benchmark, if you can win your games at home that helps."

Right, that's your lot for tonight - unless you want a change of pace, in which case head over to Port of Spain. We'll be back for more with the Hundred double double-header tomorrow. Thanks for your comments tonight. Bye!

Carse to Overton, FOUR, full, straight and squirted to fine leg. Finishes with a boundary, but no cigar: Sunrisers win by 37 runs! It's been a runfest at Headingley, but victory and a big NRR boost for Sunrisers pushes them into playoff contention
