    Fire 125-1published at 28 balls left

    Target 159

    Adil Rashid drops short and Jonny Bairstow punishes his Yorkshire and England team-mate at Headingley by dispatching it over the ropes.

    Fire firmly on top now, you feel.

  2. Fire 118-1published at 30 balls left

    Need 41 more to win

    Parkinson delivers a high full toss that is called a no-ball.

    Jonny Bairstow, who has finally got going, clips the free hit away for two.

  3. 6 runs

    Fire 112-1published at 31 balls left

    Need 47 more to win

    Callum Parkinson continues to bowl another five.

    And his worst delivery so far is duly punished by Jonny Bairstow over deep square leg for six.

  4. Fire 101-1published at 35 balls left

    Need 58 more to win

    Callum Parkinson concedes a four first up but is very tidy after - just seven from that set of five.

  5. Fire 94-1published at 40 balls left

    Need 65 more to win

    Have those two sixes swung it back in Fire's favour?

  6. 6 runs

    Fire 93-1published at 41 balls left

    Target 159

    Joe Clarke now smacks a mighty six over mid-wicket off David Wiese.

  7. 6 runs

    Fire 86-1published at 43 balls left

    Target 159

    Brydon Carse appers to have timed his leap brilliantly to deny Jonny Bairstow a six on the deep square leg boundary.

    But it goes upstairs and the third umpire spots that Carse took off for his jump while touching the rope with his boot, which means it is a six.

    Can that get Bairstow going?

  8. Fire 79-1published at 45 balls left

    Need 80 more to win

    Great work from Adil Rashid, just singles and that huge wicket from his latest set of five balls.

    Has that swung this game in Superchargers' favour?

    WICKETpublished at 49 balls left

    Eskinazi b Rashid 58 (Fire 77-1)

    Big breakthrough!

    A superb googly from Adil Rashid skids on and foxes Stephen Eskinazi, who can't prevent it hitting his off stump.

    The Fire opener departs for a brilliant 58 off just 28 balls.

  10. Fire 77-0published at 50 balls left

    Need 82 more to win

    Two more singles to the total and Fire are just under halfway through the runs required after 50 balls of their chase.

    Still no wickets lost though.

  11. Fire 75-0published at 52 balls left

    Target 159

    Jonny Bairstow still can't get his eye in, advancing and missing with an ugly swipe off Superchargers captain David Wiese.

    Maybe this will help though - an inventive ramp over the wicketkeeper from Bairstow goes for four.

  12. Fire 71-0published at 55 balls left

    Need 88 more to win

    Left-armer Callum Parkinson rushes through five tidy balls, conceding just five runs.

  13. Fire 66-0published at 60 balls left

    Need 93 more to win

    Rashid carries on to bowl 10 straight deliveries.

    He dupes Eskinazi with a turning leg-break that the batter misses. But he does well to stay in his crease and avoid being stumped.

    Superchargers need a few more sets like that.

  14. Fire 63-0published at 65 balls left

    Need 96 more to win

    If Bairstow gets going, then Fire will coast this chase, the way Eskinazi is going.

  15. 50 runs

    50 for Stephen Eskinazipublished at 67 balls left

    Fire 60-0

    Stephen Eskinazi hits England leg-spinner Adil Rashid for four to bring up a stunning half-century off just 19 balls.

    Could we get two centuries in the same game?!

  16. Fire 54-0published at 70 balls left

    Eskinazi is clattering everything.

    Bairstow is barely laying bat on ball.

    Odd chase so far.

  17. Fire 51-0published at 74 balls left

    Brydon Carse enters the fray and is greeted by Stephen Eskinazi mashing him through point for four.

  18. Fire 47-0published at 75 balls left

    Target 159

    That's the powerplay done.

    After a slow first 10 balls, Fire - or rather Eskinazi - are really ticking now.

  19. Fire 44-0published at 76 balls left

    A big no-ball from Matthew Potts gives Jonny Bairstow a free hit to go at.

    Bairstow swipes it down the ground but straight to the fielder. No run.

    Bairstow has only two from 11 balls so far.

  20. 6 runs

    Fire 41-0published at 77 balls left

    Stephen Eskinazi is absolutely feasting off Matthew Potts' bowling.

    He gives himself some room and uppercuts the ball over point for six more.
