    Brathwaite is changing his paces and that's what you have to do on these surfaces in this format.

    Jemimah Rodrigues has the highest score by a man or woman in The Hundred so far.

    She won't be bettering that today...

    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    We've spent quite a lot of time with the men's team. We've been to the bar, had drinks and Carlos... what a great man! He bought 40 tequilas the other night!

    It's been good to pick the brains of other bowlers, particularly for me with Tom Hartley who bowls in the powerplay like I do.

    If Carlos Brathwaite gets going with the bat later, this ground might not be big enough for him.

    Ben Duckett ticking along nicely on 30 off 18 balls.

    Carlos Braithwaite brings himself on again.

    Northern Superchargers captain Lauren Winfield-Hill was the second wicket to fall at Emerald Headingley.

    She was caught in the deep off Grace Gibbs, for four off eight balls. But Laura Wolvaardt and Alice Davidson-Richards are helping to shore things up. They have taken the home side past 50.

    "They're looking at 120, 130, maybe even 140 on this pitch, " said BBC summariser Peter Trego.

  15. Fire 44-2published at 40 balls

    Ben Duckett is a box of tricks but he is not quite able to execute a ram shot to Tom Hartley. Batter and bowler exchange grins. Just two runs off that Hartley set.

  17. Fire 35-2published at 31 balls
