4:10pm And so, the Superchargers end their innings vastly differently to how they began it. 47 runs have come off the last 15 balls and it has taken the Superchargers to 142, which on a surface that has held up a touch, gives them something to bowl at. Wiese was the star of the show, notching up a breezy half-century, with Carse giving him support. Zaib also did his job in the middle overs, consolidating the innings and ensuring that the visitors had the base to launch at the death.
The Rockets, considering how well they had started, might be a little disappointed to have conceded 142. That said, with their batting line-up, they will back themselves to get the job done. The key could be how they tackle the spinners, considering Root and Imad only went for 36 runs in their 40 balls, with Root also picking up two wickets. This promises to be an exciting run-chase, and we will be back with it in a bit!
Luke Wood: Have been putting a big emphasis on it (getting the ball to swing early) and luckily it came off today. (On the surface) I think it is okay. We have done pretty well. Hopefully we can get it done. (On the chase) I think we are pretty confident, we have a deep line-up and we have lots of confidence going into the second half.
