    The Trent Rockets might be a bit deflated after that. They looked really set at one point.

    But you've got to give credit to those two, they did really well. David Wiese hit some absolute monster sixes and that's hard to bowl at.

    He is the sort of batter you do not want coming in at number eight. As a bowler you feel like you've done all the hard yards, got the top order out and then he comes in!

    That looks like a really good score. It was a really good effort by those two guys lower in the order. They kept losing wickets early on which meant they couldn't quite build partnerships but that one between Wiese and Van der Merwe has just swung it in their favour.

  3. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    I think it's very competitive. This wicket is not that easy to bat on. Joe Root said they wanted to stay under 150 and they're just over that.

  4. That is an example of just how quickly things can change in this game.

    Northern Superchargers were 68-6 at one stage. But bake a bow David Wiese and Roelof van der Merwe, they have dragged their side up to a decent total.

    The Trent Rockets need 153 to win.

    WICKET

    Van der Merwe c Gregory b Sams 30 (Superchargers 152-8)

    Daniel Sams takes a wicket with the 100th ball!

    Roelof van der Merwe goes for the big heave back over the bowlers head but it does not have enough umph on it and Lewis Gregory takes a comfortable catch on the boundary.

  6. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Brilliant bowling from Sams. He kept his nerve, took the pace off and bowled it a little wider. But what a knock. Wiese has got Superchargers right back into this game.

    WICKET

    Wiese c Root b Sams 50 (Superchargers 151-7)

    All good things come to an end!

    David Wiese knows he has to go for some big shots but he can only smash this ball high into the sky and Joe Root watches it all the way to take a smart catch.

  8. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Another brilliant shot. Wiese is playing a great innings here. Getting Superchargers into a really good position having been way behind the eight ball for most of the game. He's not slogging every ball, just picking the right ball to do it.

    And again!!! David Wiese hits another maximum to bring up his half-century!

  10. 6 runs

    Superchargers 144-6

    David Wiese my oh my!!! That is a monster hit!

    He has once more just clubbed Luke Wood back over his head for yet another huge six.

    Wiese has scored 44 from just 25 balls.

    It was a tough one. Just kind of hung in the air for a while. But he did all the hard work.

  12. dropped catch

    Van de Merwe dropped on 29

    Tabraiz Shamsi has bowled superbly but he won't be happy with that.

    Roelof van der Merwe gets his timing wrong and the ball loops towards the South African spinner who dives forward but spills the ball as he hits the ground.

    Luke Wood looks cheesed off to put it mildly.

  13. Superchargers 131-6

    10 balls to go - can the Superchargers get above 150?

    Great shot. Pace off from Sams. The charge is on.

  16. Superchargers 130-6

    Now Roelof van der Merwe gets in on the act!

    He has just heaved Daniel Sams away with a cross-batted shot that flew back over Sam's head for a massive six.

    It didn't land on the roof this time.

  17. Superchargers 117-6

    That massive six is a minor blemish on Tabraiz Shamsi's figures but he has conceded just 22 runs from his 20 balls. Great bowling.

  18. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    We're going to need the spare balls. I can just see it resting on the roof. It's not coming down. A phenomenal shot.

  19. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Two

    That's a monster hit. My goodness.

  20. 6 runs

    Superchargers 115-6

    Oh my word that is huge!

    David Wiese has tried to hit a Tabraiz Shamsi delivery into next week and the ball fizzes way over the boundary before landing on the Headingley roof!

    Any brave volunteer to try and get it down?
