What were the Rockets fans worried about?!
Tom Alsop drills the ball through extra cover off Adil Rashid. Middled and it races to the boundary and the home side are closing in on victory...

Trent Rockets & former England all-rounder on BBC RadioRehan Ahmed finally got one out the middle. He knew where it was going as soon as he hit it and all Matthew Potts could do on the boundary was watch it sail over his head.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's been a struggle with the bat tonight for Rehan Ahmed - but he has just gone a long way to winning this game for Trent Rockets!
After a pair of twos down the ground to take the hosts to 100, he whips the last ball from Mohammad Amir up and over square leg for six.

They all count!
Tom Alsop tries to drive Mohammad Amir, finds that timing the ball is very tough now on this pitch but will happily take an inside edge that misses leg stump and runs away for four.

Trent Rockets & former England all-rounder on BBC RadioTom Alsop will have been given firm instructions to get on with this and not waste any time.
With seven wickets in the shed, it should be a walk in the park for Trent Rockets. But it isn't over until the fat lady sings.

Just that one boundary from Dan Lawrence's last five balls. He ends with 0-29 from his 20 balls.
The required rate is creeping up and up for the Rockets.
They should still get over the line but the surface is slowing up and the tension is building at Trent Bridge.

That should relieve some of the pressure!
Tom Alsop comes in and reverse sweeps his first ball off Dan Lawrence for four.
Still a slip in place for the Superchargers...

The leg-spinner continues to build the pressure and, ultimately, Max Holden decides he has to try and get the Rockets going again.
But in doing so he just chips the ball down to Zak Crawley at long-off.
Superchargers are dragging this back superbly.

Here comes Adil Rashid. This feels like a big moment in the chase...

The crowd at Trent Bridge is very subdued.
It's strange because, on paper, the Rockets are well on top but the pressure has started to build and there is definitely a nervousness in the air.
Six from Dan Lawrence's latest.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraLuck is on Rehan Ahmed's side. Northern Superchargers will feel a little bit of grief because things just haven't fallen their way in the field.
Superchargers can't let up this pressure they have been building.
Rockets 76-2published at 40 balls left

Image source, Getty ImagesMohammad Amir has been excellent tonight. He's gone for just nine runs from his 15 balls so far.
Batting is looking very tricky right now and Rehan Ahmed is battling.
He forces the ball through extra cover to end the set, it's in the air but just out of reach of the diving fielder and he gets two.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraRehan Ahmed has tried to hit the backward point area a few times, but with two fielders there Superchargers know he likes to target it.
He has had a couple of chances and will want to take them and push on here.

Big let-off for Rehan Ahmed!
He charges Dan Lawrence and skews the ball high into the off side.
It looks for all the world that he will be caught but he finds the gap between three fielders perfectly - and not only that, the ball also spins and bounces over the head of Graham Clark running in so the Rockets pinch a second run.
Rehan dropped on 6published at 50 balls left
Rockets 66-2
It should be another caught and bowled for Imad Wasim!
Rehan Ahmed slaps the ball back to the left of the bowler, not timed but Wasim can't cling on as he gets throws himself at the ball.
Suddenly, things are happening for Northern Superchargers.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraJoe Root got himself into a tangle. It was a floated delivery and an awkward length. Root tried to dab it but ended up too early on the ball.
He looks disappointed but Imad Wasim has worked hard to carve out wickets.

He just tries to turn the ball to get for a single but it holds in the pitch ever so slightly and that's all it takes for Imad Wasim.
A leading edge and the ball dollies back to the bowler.
Rockets 60-1published at 55 balls left
Adil Rashid gets through another very good set with only three singles from it.
Joe Root helps his stats against his England team-mate with two of those runs.
