Men's Eliminator: Trent Rockets v Northern Superchargers, The Kia Oval
Match abandoned because of rain
Rockets progress to Sunday's final against Oval Invincibles because they finished second in group stage
Rockets 12-0 (five balls)
Superchargers 119-5 (75 balls): Lawrence 44* (31); Willey 2-22
Men's final starts at 18:00 BST at Lord's on Sunday
Miller b Stoinis 28 (Superchargers 110-5)
A big moment. It's in the slot from Marnus Stoinis but David Miller, trying to clear the leg-side boundary again, misses and his middle stump is knocked back flat onto the turf.
Miller was looking dangerous. Stoinis beats his chest in celebration.

And there's another six from David Miller! A flick of the wrist and the ball sails through the night's sky.

That was the eighth instance of a batter hitting three or more sixes off a bowler in a set in this year's men's Hundred - David Miller has now done it twice, as has Liam Livingstone and Jordan Cox.
Lawrence 40, Miller 22
I know everyone wants to see a game of cricket today but I'm not sure about this.
Sam Cook went sliding like a teenager on a first date at an ice rink in that previous set. He held his arms wide afterwards and now Sam Hain is tentative as he chases down the ball at mid-wicket.

The latest news is that we haven't lost any deliveries from the rain delay and this will still be a 100-ball match. The playing time is being extended, talk about flexibility!
They are clearly trying to get the full match in. It's going to be a late finish, let's hope it's a good one if the crowd are still here.

Rehan Ahmed, who is bowling to left-handed David Miller, doesn't bowl the googlies. His balls are going straight into Miller's slot and he's played three sixes off this set. The danger of bowling 10 in a row is the batter does get lined up.
It's worth keeping an eye on Miller because he went off in the last match with a bit of a leg injury, but he's back out there playing well at the minute.
Lawrence 38, Miller 20
A third six in the set! It must be tough for Rehan Ahmed to grip this wet ball and the South African left-hander knows it.
He goes long over long-on and has 20 from just six balls.
Even bigger from David Miller!

That wicket brings out David Miller. He has played a few decent innings in this tournament and his side require another here.
Rehan Ahmed now has 11 wickets in the tournament.

A great start for Trent Rocket after the rain delay. It couldn't really be better could it?
Some balls must have been lost due to the rain delay, but we haven't heard anything on it just yet.
Clark c Willey b Ahmed 1 (Superchargers 76-4)
First ball after the restart! Graham Clark has slapped a Rehan Ahmed full toss straight to mid-wicket.
It looks like Rehan Ahmed is going to start after the break. It is raining.
The Trent Rockets players are in a huddle just inside the boundary. Dan Lawrence seems to have lost his gloves.
The clouds are dark and menacing but the covers are nowhere to be seen. Who has this long break favoured? The bowling side, I guess.
Image source, Getty ImagesPlay will restart in 10 minutes' time with the big IF there is no more rain.
Play can go on until 22:15 BST, by the way. It will be Matthew Henry to take you through the foreseeable.
Standby - the covers are coming off!
A reminder that if this game is abandoned, it will be Trent Rockets who advance to tomorrow's final because they finished second in the table.
They will face Oval Invincibles at Lord's and thankfully, the weather is looking much better.
The bowlers' run ups have now been fully covered up, as long as the full square.
We're in for the long haul here.
Treat yourselves to the best of Davina Perrin's innings while we wait, which was absolutely sensational.
