  1. Post update

    And indeed it is is Gaur marking out her run-up to open up the bowling for Manchester Originals.

    Marie Kelly and Jemimah Rodrigues will open up for Superchargers.

    Let's get going.

  2. How's stat?!

    One to watch is Manchester Originals' 17-year-old left-arm quick Mahika Gaur. She has an average speed of 109kph (68mph) across her two games in The Hundred so far. This year, only four bowlers have a quicker average speed than Gaur.

  3. How things stand

    These two sides find themselves divided by one position and two points in the competition table.

    Northern Superchargers lie in third, winning three of their four matches including their two most recent outings.

    Fourth-placed Manchester Originals lost their first two matches to the weather before going on to beat Birmingham Phoenix and lose to Oval Invincibles last time out.

  4. Divided loyalties?

    Northern Superchargers bowler Kate Cross

    Northern Superchargers caused a stir when they drafted arch-Lancastrian Kate Cross for this year's competition.

    The England seamer faces her former Originals teammates for the first time today, having taken three wickets in the competition so far.

  5. The teams

    Northern Superchargers: Marie Kelly, Jemimah Rodrigues, Phoebe Litchfield, Hollie Armitage (c), Alice Davidson-Richards, Bess Heath (wk), Georgia Wareham, Kate Cross, Linsey Smith, Lucy Higham, Grace Ballinger.

    Manchester Originals: Laura Wolvaardt, Emma Lamb, Ami Campbell, Deandra Dottin, Fi Morris, Sophie Ecclestone (c), Kathryn Bryce, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Ellie Threlkeld (wk), Katie George, Mahika Gaur.

  6. The toss

    Hollie Armitage has won the toss and decided her Northern Superchargers will have a bat.

    Her side have won their last two fixtures batting first, including their last match against Oval Invincibles.

  7. Good morning

    The Hundred may only be in its third season but old rivalries die hard in the north.

    It's a trans-Pennine derby in today's first double-header as Northern Superchargers host Manchester Originals, with plenty of bragging rights to be won.

    And we've got an absolute feast of cricketing action in store for you with four fixtures to be played today.

    This match kicks us off at 11:00 BST, with the men's match to follow at 14:30. At the same time Birmingham Phoenix will be starting against Oval Invincibles in the women's competition, before the men's sides finish us off at 18:00.

    What a treat.
