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."

89

Green to Crawley, FOUR runs

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!

88
1
Green to Brook, 1 run

Straight, into off stump, worked out to deep midwicket... Brook wants two to win it but Crawley says no

87

Mid-crease, conventional offie, worked out towards Smith once more. Just one

6
Payne to Brook, SIX runs

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

84
4
Payne to Brook, FOUR runs

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

83
1
Payne to Crawley, 1 run

Full toss, on the stumps, lifted out to deep midwicket, one bounce to Chris Green about five feet in front of the sponge, just a single

82
Payne to Crawley, no run

Slower ball, out wide, Crawley steps across to try and smear it to the leg side but misses out

81
4
Payne to Crawley, FOUR runs

Charged... and edged for four! Perfectly bisects the keeper and short third

David Payne back into the attack

Riley Meredith 2/33 (20)

Meredith is done. Superchargers needs a straightforward 19 from 20

80
1
Meredith to Crawley, 1 run

Mid-crease, short, sits up, 76mph, pulled firmly out to green very square this time

79
1
Meredith to Brook, 1 run

Short, pulled out to deep midwicket where Chris Green sprints across the and fields

Jamie: "Crawley decides he can bat again after leaving London Spirit. Pretty much sums up the Lord's club at the minute (well, the men's team anyway!) "

78
1
Meredith to Crawley, 1 run

Sharp, 90mph, into Crawley, worked out to Zaib again

Bit of an issue here with Riley Meredith, as he takes on what seems to be some energy gel. Looks like he's cramping in his lower legs, stretching them out as he gets the taste out of his mouth with some water

77
1
Meredith to Brook, 1 run

Tight to the stumps, follows Brook, who flicks this out to deep square where Saif Zaib gets the big build-up.... and fields cleanly this time

76
1
Meredith to Crawley, 1 run

Pace off, length, Crawley doubles over mis-timing that into his front pad, gets away with a single into point

Meredith with his final 5...

Hull to Brook, 1 run

Shelled! Brook gets one at him and flips this high into the night sky... Saif Zaib gets under it, watches it well but then tumbles as the ball comes down and drops it. In front of the Western Terrace, too...

74
Hull to Brook, no run

Into the body as Brook moves to leg, sharp, brilliantly guided by Brook, right out of the middle, and brilliantly stopped by TKC fielding at backward point/short third

73
1lb
Hull to Crawley, 1 leg bye

Steps across, Hull follows him, ends up wearing it - 76mph - down to deep third

Hull to Crawley, SIX runs

Bang! Imperious way to bring up his half-century, shuffling to the side and then forward, and launching into the stands at wide long off. Comes from 29 deliveries, three fours and four sixes! On his Northern Superchargers debut no less...

71
1
Hull to Brook, 1 run

Full, outside off, Brook steps away and guide sit over where an orthodox point would be, out to the man in the deep

Hull is back
