    Simpson c Hales b De Lange 42 (Superchargers 124-9)

    Marchant de Lange now has eight wickets in two matches.

    John Simpson tries to clatter it into the Trent but finds sky instead of water and Alex Hales takes his third catch of the innings.

  3. Superchargers 124-8

    Adil Rashid skews it away for one.

  4. Marchant de Lange will bowl the final five balls.

    The crowd are starting to get an understanding of the rhythms of The Hundred now you sense. Players have been honest as well, that there is a learning process.

  6. Superchargers 123-8

    John Simpson flicks it away off his pads for one.

    "Trent Rockets are going to cruise this tournament," says a colleague on the cricket desk, who I will not name in case they go on to lose.

  7. Superchargers 122-8

    Adil Rashid miscues a pull shot but it drops short of any fielder and he gets a single.

  8. Superchargers 121-8

    John Simpson pushes down the ground for a single.

    Can Adil Rashid unfurl those wrists to find the fence?

  9. Superchargers 118-8

    Lewis Gregory bowls a wide and then follows it up with another down leg that John Simpson pulls away for four.

  10. 10 balls to goBBC Sport

    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I am not sure what I am witnessing here. There's still a few balls to score off so just knock them into the gaps to start with. You don't have to play the big shots from your first ball. It's been very silly from the Superchargers.

  12. Superchargers 113-8

    You can never tell until both teams bat, but this looks well short of par.

    John Simpson needs to face as many of the final 10 balls as possible for the visitors.

  13. Superchargers 110-8

    Adil Rashid survives the hat-trick ball as he taps a single.

    Carse c Gregory b De Lange 0 (Superchargers 109-8)

    Make that five wickets for 10 runs! Madness from the Superchargers. And Marchant de Lange is on a hat-trick!

    Brydon Carse also falls for a golden duck as he slices it up in the air to Lewis Gregory.

    The wickets are falling all around John Simpson now.

    WICKET

    Willey c Patel b De Lange 0 (Superchargers 109-7)

    Superchargers are making a right old mess of this.

    David Willey attempts a ramp shot off fast bowler Marchant de Lange, but ends up scooping it up in the air for Samit Patel to take a fine diving catch.

    Redemption for Patel after his earlier drop! And a golden duck for Willey.

    And the Superchargers have lost four wickets for just 10 runs.

    Mujeeb c Hales b Khan 0 (Superchargers 109-6)

    Haha. Mujeeb ur Rahman holes out second ball for a duck against his Afghanistan team-mate Rashid Khan.

    Khan then goes up to him and ruffles his helmet, with a playful shoulder squeeze to boot.

    That's three wickets for the excellent Rashid Khan from his 20 balls.
