Oh oh...
Carlos whizzes down a very high bouncer, and that'll be two runs to the Rockets' total.

Another hoick of a pull from Samit Patel, latching on to a Carlos Brathwaite shorter ball and somehow managing to hustle it between two fielders in the deep.

Dawid Malan does very well to keep a 91mph yorker away from his toes.

Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI will never know how Samit Patel has hooked the ball there. He did it with his eyes closed.

Samit!
That's an excellent shot to a nasty short ball from Lockie Ferguson, ducking his head out of the way and sort of forehand-smashing it down into the deep for four.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraKeeping a short third in place with the pace of Lockie Ferguson is always a risky move.

Four!
Dawid Malan recovers from his torch-based irritation to guide Lockie Ferguson's first ball nicely past short third and away to the boundary.

Lockie Ferguson is returning to the attack.
The crowd have been asked to put their phone torches on - which has infuriated Dawid Malan, who is now asking them to turn the music and the torches off so he can actually bat.
Rockets 82-2published at 40 balls left
54 runs needed
Matt Parkinson rips a delivery past Dawid Malan's outside edge.
Malan makes a mess of a reverse sweep to end the over. Parkinson has gone for 15 runs off his 15 balls and taken two wickets to boot.
Rockets 77-2published at 45 balls left
Matt Parkinson has had an excellent few months, hasn't he?
He's going to bowl another five here.

Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialMullaney targeted that short boundary, but he is hitting into the wind. What a brilliant catch, he has run 30 or so yards. Parkinson breaks the partnership again, and that is why Brathwaite brought him on.

Still no D'Arcy Short?
Hmm.

...and he strikes straight away!
That's a superb catch from Joe Clarke, running in from the boundary to cling on after a miscued, high hoick from Steven Mullaney.
