9.18pm Lewis Gregory is chatting to Sky. "Greeny had a day out, first half we were excellent, then clinical with the ball. What an entrance, a shame he is going." Rashid Khan is a handy replacement, to be fair. "A couple of rounds of golf" were their warm-up for the tournament, seeing as the Trent Bridge Test prevented any practice at the ground.
That's a wrap from Headingley tonight. See you for the next instalment!
9.15pm The Meerkat Match Hero is Chris Green: "One game only, loved my time at the rockets, short and sweet. A bit confusing with the balls. Got a tap on the shoulder from the coach to go and have some fun. Enjoyed bowling, conducive to spin, if you held a length and tried to spin it there was enough there. A lot of runs to put him under pressure. Only been here for five days, enjoyed time with Andy [Flower], great group of guys."
9.12pm It's a 47-run thrashing. Superchargers won an unhelpful toss and chose the wrong option. Tom Banton teed off, then it was the Chris Green show, with a wonderful six-laden cameo, backed up by an omnipresent display in the field. Three wickets, catches, run-outs, dominance. The match was over by the end of the powerplay, realistically, especially once Pooran and Short had managed 14 from 18 between them.
Dirk: "Another one-sided affair. I hope that when I make my pilgrimage to London august 17th and 18 that the matches will be closer"
