- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 and stumped first ball! Lynn goes down the pitch to this full ball bowled wide of off but is beaten. This was bowled slower as well, as Lynn ended up very short of the crease, allowing the keeper ample time to do his job. Early wicket for the Spirit here 16/15.2 edge behind, and Cullen strikes! Good length ball pitched on middle and leg, and squares up Lyth who makes room to go outside leg. But he ends up tickling it to the keeper while trying to open the bat face and push toward third man 28/212.2 gets a top edge, and sends it high to short third man. The no-look slog from Brook to this full ball on off, with the bowler again going slow. Brook falls while trying to accelerate further 90/3Extras6 (lb 3, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL155/3 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Chris Lynn, 2.3 ov), 2-28 (Adam Lyth, 5.2 ov), 3-90 (Harry Brook, 12.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 thrashed to mid-on, where Brook grabs a blinder! Meaty connection from Rossington, who's built like a block of corned beef, but it wasn't quite out of the middle and Brook leaps to take it two handed above his head! Willey amongst 'em in his opening set 2/11.5 sliced to cover, Willey bags another! Slightly back of a length and Inglis tries to muscle down the ground, only succeeds in getting a leading edge for a simple catch by Vilas. Spirit-sapping start, this 5/28.3 chips this one... but can't quite clear Lyth pedalling back! Taken by mid-off above his head and Reece's increasingly fluent innings comes to an end. Raine provides a timely breakthrough for Superchargers 49/313.2 tries to fetch the googly leg side, but holes out! Morgan falls looking to take the fight. Not sure he realised that was a wrong'un, spinning away from him as he launched a slog-sweep, never looked like carrying. Superchargers closing in 62/510.3 Nabi collars this over the leg side... but it's taken a few yards inside the rope! Another fine catch from Harry Brook, with Nabi hitting to the longest part of the ground out towards the Compton Stand. He had to run around from long-on but judged it well for a sliding take 56/413.4 backs away and slogs to long-on! Another tortured innings comes to an ignominious close, as Denly miscues one out towards the Allen Stand, Lyth settling under a comfortable catch 63/617.2 pace off and Bopara slices high to short third! Thousand-yard stare from Ravi, as he heads for the pavilion. Canny bowling from the Durham lad, slow and wide and Bopara's attempt to flog it down the ground goes belly up 85/717.4 length ball, flicked tamely to square leg! Advances down and plays a cute cross-batted dab, but there's no pace and it dollies straight to the man stationed inside the circle. Spirit still aren't even halfway 85/818.4 Amir has a misbegotten swipe and it ends up at short third! Bit of flight on this, it grips and takes the outside edge as he aims down the ground, Rashid trots up to pouch a simple catch. Superchargers one away from bowling the home side out here 88/9Extras7 (lb 3, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL92/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Adam Rossington, 0.4 ov), 2-5 (Josh Inglis, 1.5 ov), 3-49 (Luis Reece, 8.3 ov), 4-56 (Mohammad Nabi, 10.3 ov), 5-62 (Eoin Morgan, 13.2 ov), 6-63 (Joe Denly, 13.4 ov), 7-85 (Ravi Bopara, 17.2 ov), 8-85 (Blake Cullen, 17.4 ov), 9-88 (Mohammad Amir, 18.4 ov)
