  2. Northern Superchargers 53-2published at 50 balls to go

    We hit halfway - and this one really could go either way.

    Tabraiz Shamsi has gone for just four off his first five balls.

    With Chris Lynn so well set, who would call it?

    Big lbw shout against Chris Lynn - but he immediately reviews. And he was right. He got an edge.

    Sandeep Lamichhane, the Nepalese spinner, was supposed to play for Oval Invincibles but had visa issues, so that's why Shamsi has stepped in.

    Why on earth are the crowd singing about the darts player Michael van Gerwen?!

  7. Northern Superchargers 44-2published at 64 balls to go

    But, when Jordan Clark comes on, he is slapped to the point boundary first ball by Harry Brook.

    But he then has a big lbw shout turned down against Brook with his second.

    Chris Lynn will look to keep the foot on the accelerator so this is going to be an exciting passage of play.

    There's no mystery about Chris Lynn here - he's clearing the front leg and trying to smash it.

    I love that from Chris Lynn - it was a show of intent from him.

    Powerplay over. It's gone about as well as the Oval Invincibles' did earlier.

    I'm slightly disgruntled by Harry Brook's pads - he can't get the right shade of purple to match his kit.

    It's very much game on here now. Add two more wickets to this score, and Northern Superchargers are in trouble.
