5.25pm: A 20-ball fifty from Buttler ices the MSG cake/chase. And that's a fitting way to go top of the tree on the all-time T20 run-scorers' list. Victory, as well as a NRR jump, pushes MSG back into the play-off spots - although they have played a game more. Still, a statement win, and without their regular captain, Aiden Markram, who has returned home for personal reasons

Tim Seifert is the Match Hero: "Trademark of our innings has been losing wickets, so we tried to get off to a good start and maintain a good run rate. Buttler coming in and doing what he does is nice to watch. [Opening stand] Having left-right put the bowlers off, and credit to him [Walter], first game of the tournament, the way he came out, showed we have a good squad. It's a hard tempo to decide how you go about it. You can get caught down the other end and not getting strike. Nice today we both got going. [Play-offs?] We've got two big games, so hopefully we can keep momentum. We go down there [to Southern Brave] and have to adapt, but this is a good little booster for us."

No rest in this format, with an evening game at Trent Bridge coming up. Enjoy!

Ferguson to Seifert, 1 no ball, slower one, beats the bat on the inside

"At the start of his innings, Jos needed 22 runs to go top of the all time T20 runs list. Pretty impressive given the quality of the teams he's played for (International, UK, BBL, IPL and SA20)." Yep, Jacko, he's right on Polly's shoulder . And pretty impressive however you look at it, never mind the teams he's played for!
