The Northern Superchargers captain hits 58 on his home ground as Andrew Flintoff's side secured their third victory in a row
Headingley: Northern Superchargers 167-5, Manchester Originals 153-6 - Northern Superchargers won by 14 runs
Northern Superchargers made it two wins from two over Manchester Originals in the derbies at Headingley in The Hundred.
Harry Brook's side beat the team from the other side of the Pennines by 14 runs to follow Hollie Armitage's team's success earlier in the day.
Originals won the toss and chose to bowl, which looked a great choice with rain falling before the start of the match and thick clouds overhead.
Unsurprisingly then Superchargers got off to a slow start with the bat, as Fazalhaq Farooqi took a wicket with the very first ball of the match.
Graham Clark and captain Brook rebuilt the innings with a well-built 50 partnership. Brook went on to score an explosive 58 off 33, before being caught out by a spectacular one-handed diving catch from Scott Currie.

After a strong middle to the home side's innings, the Originals came back strongly at the end to restrict Superchargers to 167 for 5.
Captain Phil Salt and Matty Hurst got the Originals' innings off to a very promising start with 90 for the opening partnership. Salt scored 40 from 27, while the impressive Hurst top-scored with 78 from 45.
Unfortunately for the winless Originals, they then capitulated from 90 for 1 to 128 for 4 thanks to some game-turning run-outs and Mitchell Santner, who took 2 for 23.
When Hurst departed, Originals required 29 from 13, but they were unable to get over the line, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table and Superchargers up into third.
