    Welsh Fire need to try and break this partnership.

    Brilliant timing there from Wolvaardt.

  4. Superchargers 57-2

    Target 124

    A nice straight hit from Wolvaardt brings another four, it feels like Superchargers are starting to build some momentum.

    It's almost a wicket off the last ball of the set but the ball falls short of the fielder.

  5. Superchargers 51-2

    Armitage 22, Wolvaardt 9

    Armitage finally pierces the offside field to get herself a four off the bowling of Nicola Carey. A much-needed boundary for the Superchargers. 73 more runs to win.

    Trent Rockets & former England all-rounder on BBC Radio

    I think the most important thing is not to get focussed on the outcome but sticking to the process and trusting each other in the group.

  7. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Radio

    There are going to be times in this innings when the Welsh Fire aren't going to do well. But it's important to remember how quickly wickets can change the momentum of the game.

  8. Superchargers 44-2

    Target 124

    Hartley is back in the attack and continues to apply the squeeze on the Superchargers. Boundaries are hard to come by at the moment.

  9. Samit Patel
    Trent Rockets & former England all-rounder on BBC Radio

    The fielders on the ring have a big job to create pressure and stop the boundaries. The slower balls are going to be crucial here.

  10. Superchargers 40-2

    Target 124

    It's the turn of leg-spinner Hannah Baker, she's backed up by excellent fielding in the deep and concedes nine runs from her first set.

    The worm shows Northern Superchargers Women are four runs ahead of Welsh Fire Women. Northern Superchargers Women are 40 for 2 after 30 balls. At the same stage Welsh Fire Women were 36 for 0.BBC Sport

    The Superchargers have ended the power play well and this partnership is starting to grow.

  12. Superchargers 31-2

    Target 124

    Armitage picks up successive fours as Lauren Filer bowls a couple of loose balls.

  13. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Radio

    I think we're going too see a lot of spin from the Welsh Fire.

  14. Samit Patel
    Trent Rockets & former England all-rounder on BBC Radio

    Superchargers are going to need a partnership here. It's important now that they do try and build and get some momentum going.

  15. Superchargers 19-0

    Target 124

    Wolvaardt hasn't seen much of the strike in the first 20 balls but will want to make the most of the next set, it's the last set of the powerplay.

  16. Superchargers 18-2

    Target 124

    Nicholas bowls a second consecutive set as the Superchargers captain Hollie Armitage comes to the crease.

    WICKET

    Heath c Haynes b Nicholas 1 (Superchargers 12-2)

    It's a second early wicket for Nicholas, her spin accounts for Bess Heath. She tries to get the ball over the in-field but is unable to do so. The start from the Fire just gets better.

  18. Superchargers 11-1

    Target 124

    A tidy over from Hartley, just the seven runs from it. Restricting the boundaries will be key during the powerplay for the Fire.

  19. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Radio

    Hartley has adopted her action, now it's a bit more simple and round arm.

  20. Superchargers 4-1

    Target 124

    Welsh Fire will be over the moon with that first set, it's Alex Hartley to continue the bowling.
