Root & Stokes playing last game before England Test duty
Alex Hales is still there. He stands wide of the crease then races across to drive Adil Rashid, but Ben Stokes is there to stop it. The rest of the set is rushed through without any runs scored. Impressive stuff from the England leggie.

A big swing from Samit Patel and he could only look up in hope the umpire's finger wouldn't be raised. But it was.
Patel c Simpson b Parkinson 13 (Rockets 36-4)
Callum Parkinson with a second set of five and Ben Stokes' decision to keep him in the attack has paid off as he picks up the wicket of Samit Patel, who wafted the blade but edged into the gloves of John Simpson behind the stumps.

That was just a retrieval job for the fielder. A huge six by Samit Patel.
Huge from Samit Patel. He skips down the pitch and whacks Callum Parkinson back over his head for a massive six down the ground.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman in dazzling colourful yellow and orange boots with a tricky set as the Rockets go into defensive mode after that flurry of wickets. More spin to follow as Callum Parkinson joins the attack.
Samit Patel nudges it off his pads to survive the hat-trick ball. What must Alex Hales be thinking while the carnage has been happening at the other end?

Wow. What a start by Adil Rashid.

Absolutely unbelievable! Joe Root has to trudge off Trent Bridge for a golden duck!
Root c & b Rashid 0 (Rockets 19-3)
Adil Rashid draws Joe Root into turning the ball against the spin and it's a leading edge which the leg-spinner happily gobbles up the catch. Rashid on hat-trick.

Dawid Malan cannot believe this. He can't review it because D'Arcy Short used it up. He doesn't think that was out. But the umpire got it spot on for Malan as well.
Malan lbw Rashid 0 (Rockets 20-2)
Dawid Malan looks stunned. The balls strikes him on the pad and he sets off for a leg bye only to see the finger raised.

Alex Hales told me the first game on Saturday already felt like a home game for Trent Rockets. And you can sense it here again - the crowd went silent after D'Arcy Short's wicket was confirmed.
