9:32pm Right, that us done. Join us tomorrow for more merriment with Birmingham Phoenix and Trent Rockets beginning their campaigns...
9:30pm Unsurprisingly, the Meerkat Match Hero is Zak Crawley: "The boys are great, and coming here with Freddie, he's a legend. And it's an awesome pitch to bat on.
"The gameplan for us was to play strong shots. I felt like me and Dawid complimented me quite nicely, hitting to different areas. And the skipper (Harry Brook) is some player."

Green to Crawley, FOUR, And decides to win it in style! Full, outside off, laced through extra cover and it's a second Superchargers win of the day! Zak Crawley, on his debut after moving from London Spirit, cracks 67 not out from 38 to see them to a target of 144 with eight wickets and 11 balls to spare!

Payne to Brook, SIX, Check square drive for six! Outrageous shot... easier to play with the wide full toss, but incredible hands from Brook. Times it with aplomb

Payne to Brook, FOUR, Hammered through cover! Slower ball sits up this time - 63mph, into a length - and Brook steps into that with real class and a bit of flourish with the wrists at the end to get it that far in front of square
