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.

Wood to Dwarshuis, FOUR, makes room to leg, clubbed with fine timing down the ground, beating the man tracking round at long-on. Too little too late, but at least some enterprise

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"

Wood to Potts, OUT, last rites indeed! Slower ball from Wood, back of the hand, perfect line and length, a big swing through the line from Potts but back goes his middle stump. Super bowling
