7.12pm: "I've faced him day in, day out for the last 20 years but then all of a sudden you're in the middle against him," Bairstow says about facing Rashid. "I'd definitely have taken 173 at the start of the game." He set the tone in the powerplay, but the Fire's middle order did very well to keep the impetus of the innings with a series of cameos. Potts and Stokes were the pick of the attack, with Carse in particular coming in for rough treatment. 174 will take some chasing, but the Superchargers have some serious power in their batting line-up. Back for the chase shortly.
Ahsan Butt: "Why 8 runs on that ball? Shouldn't it be 7?" -- This is a weird quirk in English domestic cricket: no-balls are always worth two, rather than one.
It's been a lively afternoon for teams in red with alleged Welsh heritage... Here's what's just happened in the first Lions v South Africa Test in Cape Town
Sarat: "Questionable captaincy there in not giving to Potts who bowled well today???" -- Yeah, probably should have bowled his full allocation I think.
Sarah: "Unleash the neesh!!!!"
