Match abandoned at Headingley after heavy rain leaves outfield unplayable
England Ashes players Harry Brook & Ben Duckett feature for Superchargers and Phoenix respectively
Superchargers win toss and bowl
Both sides opening game in 2023 competition
Despite the maximum in that last set, Wayne Parnell would be well advised to keep his seamers on to face Jamie Smith.
The young keeper-batter averages 19.80 against pace, but revels when playing spin where his average balloons to 37.71. He's a particular of off spin, against which he averages 54.
Duckett 28, Smith 12
Ben Duckett shows his class with a delicate scoop over the head of wicketkeeper Tom Banton for four.
He went a long way across his stumps, waited for the slower ball from David Wiese and put it away.
What a shot!
Jamie Smith comes down the ground and wallops the ball back over David Wiese's head for six.
That is as dismissive as it gets!
Smartly driven by Ben Duckett. Past the diving fielder at mid-on for four.
Lovely shot.
Now new batter Jamie Smith gets going with a cracking shot through point for four more!
Smeed c Carse b Parnell 21 (Phoenix 41-2)
Big wicket! Just as Will Smeed looked to be set...
Wayne Parnell went round the wicket to the right-hander, Smeed tried to hammer it back over his head but didn't get enough of it.
The ball went a long, long way up but not far enough. Brydon Carse was underneath it to take the catch.
Ben Duckett enjoyed a good Ashes series at the top of the order for England.
He's got a World Cup place to earn now with his spot for October's tournament by no means guaranteed.
Shots like this will impress captain Jos Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott though.
Very good start from Adil Rashid, just five singles from his first five balls.
Time for some spin. England leg-spinner Adil Rashid is into the attack for Northern Superchargers.
Smeed 14, Duckett 14
Juicy full toss from Brydon Carse to end the powerplay and the ball cracks off Will Smeed's bat once again.
Past extra cover before he can move. That's a fourth boundary of the five-ball set.
Smeed 14, Duckett 14
Back-to-back boundaries - here comes Will Smeed!
He carves Brydon Carse's first ball away through the off side and smears the next to leg.
Make it three in a row! Full again and lashed through the covers!
The bowling side have been on top so far. Reece Topley struck with the fifth ball for Northern Superchargers...
Will Smeed has still not managed to break free from the shackles and now takes a very risky single to mid-on.
The throw is just off target and that is just as well for Smeed. He was in trouble with a direct hit.
Close! Now it's Ben Duckett getting a little fortunate. He mistimes the ball and it loops into the leg side... just over the head and out of reach of Adam Lyth.
It will also interest Superchargers skipper Wayne Parnell, who is coming on to bowl now.
Image source, Getty ImagesWill Smeed has had a formidable start to his career, but if he's shown a weakness it's to left-arm seamers. He averages 22.47 against them, compared to 32.97 against those bowling with their right-hand.
That will interest Superchargers seamer Reece Topley.
Will Smeed has struggled to get going but he is off the mark from his sixth ball with a bit of a heave, not timed but to the right of mid-on for a single.
Drilled through the covers for four by Ben Duckett!
David Wiese takes over from the other end and we've got a delay after Will Smeed skips down and the ball flies up off the edge of his bat into his helmet.
He looks OK but we'll have a concussion check to make sure.
Ben Duckett looks to repeat the shot to end the second set of five.
It's a slower ball, though, from Reece Topley and he's got his hands on his head as the batter so nearly feathers it behind.
Very good start from Topley regardless.
That's one way to get off the mark!
Ben Duckett is across his stumps and ramps Reece Topley for six!
Ben Duckett is in at three and plays and misses at Reece Topley, who is continuing into a second set of five.
