This is the earliest in any men's T20/Hundred match in history where two openers have been dismissed playing the sweep shot.
Summary
Rockets go two from two
Ahmed starts slowly but ends with 31 off 26
Brook (45) and Clark (36) only two batters to impress for Superchargers
Spinners catch the eye for Rockets, including Ahmed (2-23)

What did I say about putting the sweep away?
Nah. Harry Brook's first boundary comes from a perfect reverse, threading the gap perfectly.

CricViz analystIn T20s and The Hundred since the start of 2024, batters have been dismissed 18 times with the conventional sweep against Akeal Hosein. Amongst left-arm orthodox bowlers, only Imad Wasim has had more dismissals (19) when batters have attempted that shot.
Superchargers 8-2published at 10 balls

Harry Brook is tasked with leading the Superchargers' rebuild with Michael Pepper.

Both openers gone and what a start for Akeal Hosein and the Rockets.
The batting side may want to put the sweep away for now.
Rockets reviewpublished at 8 balls
Another?!
Zak Crawley also misses a sweep, but the umpire isn't convinced this time. The Rockets fancy a second look, however...

Malan lbw b Hosein 4 (Superchargers 7-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesFour and out!
Akeal Hosein strikes with his first ball. Dawid Malan tries to keep the pressure on the Superchargers bowlers, attempting a slog sweep, but it skids on and he's struck plumb in front.
Important breakthrough for the Rockets considering the opening pair added 91 together during their first game.

BBC EssexA lovely shot from Dawid Malan, timed it perfectly through the covers. There was absolutely no stopping that.
Superchargers 7-0published at 5 balls
Oh, delightful.
There's a bit of swing for David Willey but Dawid Malan is equal to it, taking a step down the pitch and driving crisply through the covers for the first boundary of the evening.
Superchargers 1-0published at 1 ball
Trent Bridge looks a picture as it is bathed in early evening sunshine, and skipper David Willey takes the new ball.
Zak Crawley dabs a single into the off side to get things under way.

Media caption, 'Absolutely outrageous!' - Brook hits six on first ball
Brook didn't hesitate in showing his outrageous confidence in Superchargers' opener, whacking his first ball for six as they comfortably beat Welsh Fire.
Fellow England batter Zak Crawley also starred with 67 from 38 balls, and he will be out to open the batting with Dawid Malan shortly.

Their bowlers were brilliant in their opening win at Edgbaston, particularly New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson who took 3-20 with his high pace and skill.
But they'll have a powerful Northern Superchargers line-up to contend with, including a certain Harry Brook...

Welcomepublished at 17:45 British Summer Time 10 August
Good afternoon!
Three down, one to go. After a comfortable win for Northern Superchargers' women, it's time for the men's fixture and it's set up nicely, with both teams having won their opening encounters and looking to continue that form.
Joe Root takes on Harry Brook in an intriguing contest - we'll have the team news and result of the toss for you shortly.
