    They've struggled to find the boundary. The pitch looks tricky to score on but London Spirit have kept to their plan brilliantly.

  2. Rockets 98-4

    Very full. Short clips it for another one.

  3. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I think they will want to try and push to the 120 mark, but it is a tough mark.

  4. Rockets 97-4

    Amir to bowl out.

    Single from the first.

  5. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    You can see the frustration building, they're just not getting any bat on it.

  6. Rockets 96-4

    Spirit have been so impressive so far. Can they close this out?

  7. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    He's bowling to his field really well and hitting the wide line.

  8. Rockets 95-4

    And another. Excellent from Wood.

  9. Rockets 95-4

    Dot ball. Precious stuff at this stage.

  10. Rockets 95-4

    Moores 10, Short 45

    Chris Wood back into the attack. Just singles from the first two balls.

  11. Rockets 93-4

    Fifteen balls to go. Some big hitting needed by the Rockets.

  12. Rockets 92-4

    Moores is flashing away now. His latest brings just a single, though.

  13. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It's a short boundary but he had to ensure there was much elevation to clear the reach of the fielder.

  14. 6 runs

    Rockets 91-4

    SLAP! Moores down to near one knee to clobber Amir into the stand.

  15. Rockets 84-4

    Mohammad Amir has 10 balls left. He starts his latest set with a wide.

  16. Rockets 83-4

    Van der Merwe ends his 20 balls well. Stingy.

  17. Chris Green
    Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It was an interesting option but trying to play that shot is a part of the modern game.

  18. Rockets 81-4

    Short is the key man for the visitors. Moores tries to make something happen, though, and makes a right mess of a reverse slap. No contact and he ends up on the turf.

  19. Rockets 81-4

    Van der Merwe stays with the ball.

    The Rockets need to seriously turn on the afterburners now in this last quarter.

  20. New batter: Tom Moores
