Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraJamie Overton's struggling out there with something. I can't work out what, but something with his leg.

72 runs needed
Tom Alsop has had retire hurt here.
With blood running down from his nose, the Rockets batter walks back to the pavilion to receive some medical attention.
That brings Max Holden to the middle, who joins Marcus Stoinis.
Rockets 90-4published at 32 balls left
73 runs needed
A limping Jamie Overton returns to the attack and starts with two dot balls.
The third delivery, however, strikes Tom Alsop nastily on his helmet and the batter immediately goes down.
There is concern from everyone on the pitch but in some good news, Alsop is back up on his feet.

Root c Worrall b Dawson 27 (Rockets 90-4)
Joe Root goes too!
He tries to sweep Liam Dawson but only gets it into the grateful hands of Dan Worrall behind square.
Root departs for a 24-ball 27.

Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt was Dan Worrall's last ball and it was really well bowled.
Ahmed is muttering to himself as he walks off.
The Rockets were in such control of this game, but look how quickly it can change. London Spirit have brought themselves back in now.

Ahmed b Worrall 0 (Rockets 86-3)
A double strike from Dan Worrall in his final set!
He bowls new batter Rehan Ahmed through the gate as his stay in the middle last just two balls.
Rockets are in a bit of trouble now.

Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThat 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.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThat has gone so, so high. David Willey watches it all the way thinking 'please go all the way' and it does.

CricViz analystJamie 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.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraHe'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.

Banton b Overton 46 (Rockets 73-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesThe 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.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt 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.
