Five things to watch in The Hundred this week
NEWSMore batting fireworks, incredible camera angles and the best entertainment – it's another brilliant week ahead for The Hundred.
The unbeaten Northern Superchargers
The unbeatens
In the Women's Competition only Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave have won all their matches, while all the men's sides have now endured a loss. They are due to meet on Saturday but Superchargers face a desperate London Spirit side at Lord's earlier in the week, while the Brave travel to Manchester to take on the winless Originals. Will they carry their unbeaten records into next weekend – if so, someone's '0' has gotta go.

Incredible live bands
After another weekend of fantastic musical performances at The Hundred, this week's games are set to take it up a notch still. Afro Cluster will be at Sophia Gardens on Friday, Ayiza kicks off the Oval Invincibles v Welsh Fire clash on Monday and Asha Gold performs for the crowd on Tuesday at Lord's.
More headcam footage
If you thought stump-cam was cool, get a load of head-cam. See the game from an angle you've never seen before – through the eyes the keeper (Trent Rockets' Tom Moores in this case). We want more!

Record totals
With the batting fireworks we've seen so far in The Hundred, a 200 total can't be far away. Is this the week it happens? Will the Welsh Fire Men powered by Leus du Plooy (average of 43 per innings) and Ben Duckett (42) be the team to do it? Or can Dane van Niekerk of Invincibles or Superchargers' Jemimah Rodrigues inspire their team to the big total? And who of the batters mentioned will be the first to hit the 100 landmark?
New improvised shots
We've seen, and loved, Chris Benjamin's outrageous reverse scoop but Roelof van der Merwe's horizontal six is one of our favourites. We're not altogether convinced how intentional it was but we're not complaining. Where is the next incredible shot going to come from?
