    The thing with this format is all it takes is a couple of quick scores of 20 and it makes a big difference. If you can scrape to 140 you always have a chance.

    Trent Rockets have really taken the pace off. They're picking up wickets at the right time. Just as Superchargers are looking to build a partnership, someone comes up with a bit of magic.

  3. Superchargers 65-5published at 50 balls

    Luke Fletcher has taken two wickets from his 10 balls so far, going for just 11 runs.

    It means the Rockets are well on top at the halfway stage.

    A Superchargers batter needs to step up and produce something special.

    How did it end up there? John Simpson was trying to play that to the boundary but found the fielder.

    Luke Fletcher is a clever bowler. But he looks so, so ordinary!

    Simpson c Patel b Fletcher 10 (Superchargers 60-5)

    Luke Fletcher gets his second wicket - the Superchargers are five down!

    Fletcher takes the pace off his delivery which means John Simpson doesn't time his shot quite right and the ball loops up to Samit Patel for a simple catch!

  8. Superchargers 59-4published at 44 balls

    That's a great shot from Adam Hose.

    He is the coolest person in Headingley as he calmly pulls a short Lewis Gregory delivery away for four runs.

    The next ball he just nudges into the leg side and they can run through for two runs.

    Great batting.

    This situation suits Shamsi really well because the batters know they have to take risks and come at him. He likes that challenge.

    More from Root: "Shamsi brings a lot of tricks, experience and wickets. He's coming into the tournament with quite a bit of confidence with the way he finished the international series against England. Hopefully he can carry that on now for us."

  11. Superchargers 51-4published at 40 balls

    Time for a bit of spin from Tabraiz Shamsi and his 10-ball spell goes for just 10 runs, with just one boundary in that.

    Great control from the South African.

    Joe Root on the player mic: "You can't win. If I tell everyone it's the best catch or I try and play it down. More than anything, there's relief that I managed to grab onto it."

    Great catch from Joe Root. Running forward, full stretch and with the sun in his eyes.

    He had to judge it perfectly. Safe hands in the end. A big blow to the Superchargers.

    In ordinary circumstances they'd be cheering Joe Root's name at Headingley!

    Bravo c Root b Fletcher 19 (Superchargers 41-4)

    And another! What a catch Joe Root!

    Dwayne Bravo pulls a Luke Fletcher towards the leg side boundary but Root is onto in a flash to take a brilliant catch diving forward.

    A big wicket that as Bravo was looking in good touch.

    In a powerplay you want wickets. Rockets have conceded a few runs but they won't mind that. Wood hasn't bowled that well but with his pace he has that wicket-taking ability.

    It's been such a strange start to a game of cricket! The problem the Superchargers have is that David Willey is injured and Harry Brook is with the England Lions so they've had to shuffle their batting around.

    We had a dramatic start to this game in the Headingley sunshine. Adam Lyth being caught out with the first ball of the match.

  20. Superchargers 35-3published at 25 balls

    That's the end of the power play.

    The Rockets will be delighted to get those early wickets, but there is still plenty of firepower in the Superchargers batting line-up.
