    Tom Curran delivers! A slower ball is skied by Rashid Khan. Laurie Evans holds his nerve to take the catch.

    The pressure is indeed all on Tom Curran. He has the ball in hand.

    Trent Rockets need 17 runs from the last five balls to win.

    Strap yourselves in...

    After 55 balls Trent Rockets were 12 runs behind where Oval Invincibles were at the same stage.

    After 60 balls they are one run ahead.

    This is just fantastic cricket.

    Taking the timeout is a smart move. It just allows Sam Billings to slow the game down, and take the momentum that Trent Rockets had away.

    Sam Billings has called for his strategic timeout. If there was ever a good time for that it's now.

    Invincibles coach Tom Moody is on the field, as is bowling coach Azhar Mahmood.

    It looks like Tom Curran will bowl the last five.

    Target 126

    Same shot, same result! There are stunned groans around The Oval. Fortune is favouring Lewis Gregory at the finish.

    The Rockets need 17 runs from the last five balls.

    Just as the game is threatening to get away from Trent Rockets they pull themselves back into it.

    Edged and four! Sunil Narine should have stopped that.

    Don't forget the Invincibles have had to bring a fielder in because of the time punishment. Still on?

    Saqib Mahmood is under pressure now. Rashid Khan will keep targeting that short boundary.

  11. Rockets 101-6published at Seven balls left

    Rashid Khan nearly swings himself off his feet. Just the one.

    25 from seven.

    Rashid Khan is batting with this bat tonight.

    The latest craze in cricket?

    That is humongous! It was almost out of The Oval!

    Some people think this game is over, but nobody has told Rashid Khan that.

    This game is alive!

    This dodge from Nigel Llong really was remarkable. If any stunt agencies are reading this then sign him up.

    Better from Curran. There's no run there.
