    That was hilariously aggressive from David Willey. A shot of almost comical aggression.

    Willey c Smith b Worrall 11 (Rockets 86-2)

    David Willey short but eventful cameo ends!

    Misplaced aggression from the Rockets captain as he top-edges one and wicket-keeper Jamie Smith makes up plenty of ground to complete the catch.

    That has gone so, so high. David Willey watches it all the way thinking 'please go all the way' and it does.

    Jamie Overton's wicket ball to Tom Banton is the widest ball from the leg-stump to fetch a bowled dismissal in this year's Hundred and the second-widest overall in the competition's history.

    Rockets captain David Willey makes a blistering start.

    He sends Dan Worrall's first ball to the boundary and then hits a huge maximum the very next delivery.

    Jamie Overton finishes his set but he's struggling again at the end of it.

    Rockets captain David Willey is the new batter in.

    He's opened the face of the bat, the ball's just followed him and he's guided it on to his own stumps.

    He's furious with himself. He nearly throws his helmet as he walks off, but instead opts to just wave it.

    The pressure was growing on Rockets but Tom Banton relieves some of it by getting underneath Jamie Overton's short ball and ramping it to the boundary at third.

    He then tries to improvise in the very next delivery but somehow guides his shot onto the stumps.

    A weird dismissal as Banton departs frustrated - just four runs shy of a half-century.

    It is so good to see Richard Gleeson back bowling rockets. He has struggled with injuries, but he has been the quickest bowler of the competition this year.

    94 runs needed

    Richard Gleeson only gives away four runs from that set - once again depriving Rockets of a much-needed boundary.

    It feels like Tom Banton has got to keep going hard or Joe Root has got to find the gaps at the other end.

    They have set a good platform, but they don't want to leave too many.

  13. Rockets 62-0published at 53 balls left

    101 runs needed

    Richard Gleeson bowls a brilliant yorker and leaves Joe Root on the floor.

    But the Rockets batter has somehow dug that out towards the leg side and gets back up to take a single.

    No boundary from that set of five from Liam Dawson.

    Joe Root will be frustrated that he is 20 off 16.

    He is crunching the ball, but he is finding the fielders. He is experienced enough to know that it's all about the partnerships.

  16. Rockets 61-0published at 60 balls left

    102 runs needed

    Rockets keep the scoreboard ticking with four more runs from the final three deliveries of that Dan Worall over.

    Tom Banton and Joe Root have laid a strong foundation to this Rockets run chase.

    Good from Tom Banton, who shimmies down the wicket. He is striking them nicely.

  18. 6 runs

    Rockets 56-0published at 63 balls left

    106 runs needed

    And a first six of the innings comes from the bat of Tom Banton.

    He reads a slower ball from Dan Worrall, steps down the track and pummels it over long-off for a maximum!

  19. Rockets 50-0published at 65 balls left

    113 runs needed

    Jamie Overton completes his first set and it's a decent one, conceding only five runs.

    But he pulls up with slight discomfort after balling his final delivery and disappears past the boundary rope for an appointment with the team physio.

    Joe Root has 74 runs playing the reverse scoop in Tests. In T20s/Hundred, he has attempted the shot nine times, scoring 28 runs with four sixes and one four.
