Oh no, the players are already shaking hands. Match ends in deadlock. What a swift end to a frustrating day of the Men's Hundred. The action was short-lived, and there's hardly any time left to get back on the field. Quite an anticlimactic end to what was hyped as a high-voltage affair but the rain had the final say. Superchargers move to third and Welsh Fire are now at 6th position, it will be difficult for Fire to sneak into the top four after this soggy affair

Stokes to Wells, 2 runs, On a length and angled across middle, gives himself room and jauntily heaves over cover-point, just evades the fielder who was in business for a few moments, batters hustle for a couple and umpires are having a chat again, rain has got heavier and the players are going off, it's been that kind of day, stop-start-stop

Stokes to Wells, no run, Oh my goodness! That bounces insanely off the deck, Well couldn't do anything about it, banged in short and it curls away extravagantly outside off, he tries to pull and only connects with fresh air

Stokes to Wells, 1 wide, We are playing. Over the wicket, shortish in length and it's dancing away from leg-stump, big wide, worst possible start in a very low-scoring affair

Openers are stepping out and vigorously loosening their shoulders. Bairstow seems adamant about finishing it off in 10 balls, maybe? You don't get these situations too often. Some smoke is getting in Topley's eyes, and there you go--waited too long, and it has started to rain again. Umpires are having a chat, but the players haven't left yet
