On Jamie Smith opening the batting with David Warner: "We were looking at the surface, trying to find the best recipe for our team as there is some batting depth there.
"Jamie Smith is a real superstar, and we have seen that all summer."
London Spirit's match-hero Jamie Smith: "It has been a bit difficult at times at home. To come out here and get a win in front of a fantastic crowd is really important.
"I guess we learned from what Trent Rockets did well. More importantly, we kept taking wickets, stemming the flow for them.
"Nice to get some runs under your belt. It is nice to start well. We have got a quality team."

Image source, Getty ImagesThis game was a real throwback to the old white-ball cricket.
It was about two big partnerships for London Spirit and then being really disciplined with the ball in hand.
It was just clinical.
Rockets 141-6
London Spirit have their second win from four matches in The Hundred this season.
Tom Banton and Joe Root gave Trent Rockets a good start, but their wickets fell in regular intervals as Spirit coasted to a comfortable victory.

25 runs needed
Marcus Stoinis hits Liam Dawson's first ball for a six and repeats again a ball later.
But it won't matter as Spirit are on the verge now.

In the second half of the innings (balls 51-100), Trent Rocket pacers bowled 28% of their deliveries in the slot. London Spirit, in comparison, have bowled just 5% deliveries in that zone.

You look at someone like Gleeson, you look at his stats and think's he's had a mare - but when it matters and it counts, he's stood up.
Image source, Getty Images37 runs needed
Richard Gleeson finishes with figure of 2-36.
Rockets need 37 to win from five balls - Liam Dawson just need to get through his routine properly here.
Hose c Smith b Gleeson 9 (Rockets 125-6)
Adam Hose gloves one behind for wicket-keeper Jamie Smith.

Improbable now, not impossible. Another six or two would keep it very interesting.
Image source, Getty Images39 runs needed
Another six - this time from Marcus Stoinis. Too late and too little for Rockets surely!
46 runs needed
Despite that six, Luke Wood ends the set by conceding just eight off it.
Into the final 10 deliveries we go.
47 runs needed
Luke Wood tries a slower delivery but Adam Hose heaves it over the legside. It's gone a long way into the stands.
54 runs needed
New man in the middle, Adam Hose, opens his account with a single from Richard Gleeson's final ball.
Rockets need 54 from 15 balls to win.

That's quality. That looks like a bit of relief from Gleeson.
Holden b Gleeson 7 (Rockets 108-5)
Rockets lose another wicket.
A slower ball does the trick for Richard Gleeson as he cleans up Max Holden.
Five wickets down and Tom Alsop retired hurt, this game has surely gone for Rockets now.

That is a remarkable shot. That should not be legal!
