  1. That's time enough for you to watch how Ben Stokes got out earlier...

  2. Stephan Shemilt
    Cricketer commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    The umpire has tapped his watch so we have a two-minute timeout.

  3. Harry Gurney
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    The Superchargers will be happy with their return off Rashid Khan so far.

  4. Superchargers 74-3

    He's got a wicket, but Rashid Khan is also taking plenty of damage tonight.

    John Simpson hits his third four in five balls as he sweeps it away to the fence.

  5. Superchargers 70-3

    John Simpson is starting to accelerate. A thick edge past the keeper brings four off Rashid Khan before he bashes it through mid-wicket for another boundary.

  6. Harry Gurney
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Harry Brook has been around for a little while. He looks a very natural player and is starting to come of age for Yorkshire. It will be exciting to see how he develops throughout The Hundred.

  7. Superchargers 62-3

    Harry Brook drills it back at Samit Patel. Was that a chance? Think it dropped short of him. It's a good stop regardless.

  8. Superchargers 62-3

    Samit Patel strays wide and Harry Brook cuts it crisply away for four.

  9. Superchargers 57-3

    John Simpson chips a bit loosely back towards bowler Samit Patel, who leaps but can't get there.

    Trent Rockets look very drilled. They have some quality from top to bottom. The dangerous Ben Stokes has gone and they would have taken 56-3 at the halfway point.

  11. Here is the first of the three wickets for the Rockets so far...

  12. Henry Moeran

    Interestingly, Marchant de Lange began his sporting life as a javelin thrower. I'm all for innovation in cricket!

  13. Superchargers 56-3

    John Simpson is also wearing lighter colour pads than the Superchargers' purple. Did they have a wrong colour set be delivered and not enough time to get everyone the right shade?

    Marchant de Lange sends down another no ball. A bit loose, especially compared to Saturday.

    But Superchargers can't free their arms and are restricted to just extras and singles again.

  14. Superchargers 50-3

    Marchant de Lange oversteps the line to concede a no ball and a free hit.

    He makes amends with a stinging yorker that John Simpson misses as it hits the pads. He can't be out lbw as it's a free hit and he does scamper a leg bye.

  15. As if all this spin wasn't tough enough, Trent Rockets are now also introducing Marchant de Lange, who bowled RAPIDLY to take the first five-wicket haul of The Hundred on Saturday.

    It's an absolute pleasure to watch Rashid Khan bowling.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    The Superchargers have to build a partnership now, rotate the strike and try not to lose too many wickets.

  18. Superchargers 46-3

    Plenty of trickery from Rashid Khan, with Harry Brook needing to jam his bat down rapidly to prevent himself getting bowled by a googly that sharply turns in, instead of his regular leg-spin.

  19. It does feel like the Trent Bridge crowd need to learn to really love miserly spin bowling, rather than towering sixes, tonight.

    Rashid Khan is back.

  20. Alex Hartley
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Spin is going to play a really important role in this game. It's a used pitch and the women played on it earlier as well.
