    Malan c Brathwaite b Klaassen 52 (Rockets 124-3)

    Whoops.

    Dawid Malan goes for the big hit to try and hurry things along and ends up sending a top edge high into the air, which Carlos Brathwaite was never, ever going to miss out on.

    Rockets need 12 runs from their final 10 balls.

    Honestly, give that man some sort of award.

    (He's now checking his phone to see if he's been made into a gif yet.)

    That is possibly catch of the night after Rashid Khan, and that celebration!

    Brilliant crowd catch!

    A superb swipe for six from Samit Patel and the bloke in the stands who takes it then milks it for all it is worth. What a grab!

  5. Rockets 117-2published at 14 balls left

    Frank Klaassen is back and Samit Patel scrambles a couple off his first delivery.

    And a pair of singles end Lockie Ferguson's stint for the evening.

    A no-fuss type of effort, good options and a well-applied innings.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Malanpublished at 22:09 British Summer Time 15 August 2021

    Dawid Malan pushes a single and works his way to his half-century from 41 balls.

    It's been very Malan: slowish start and then moving with no frills to an excellent, innings-anchoring 50.

    That was a great effort but as his hand put it back in his knee caught the sponge.

  12. Rockets 111-2published at 21 balls left

    A terrific dive by Colin Ackermann in the deep stops Dawid Malan cracking his way to a boundary... oh, no, it's four!

    Terrific effort by Ackermann but his foot has just jabbed into the boundary rope. A welcome boundary for the Rockets.

  13. Rockets 136-2published at 23 balls left

    29 runs needed

    Matt Parkinson is on for his last set of five, and Samit Patel has a horrible attempt at a sweep first up.

    He's able to maneuver a single off the next, however, bringing Dawid Malan on strike.

    I thought it looked closer than that! A poor review, but you can't blame Brathwaite for trying - you just hope it goes your way!

    Oh. Oh, that's a dreadful review.

    It's missing another set of stumps.

    There's a noise, but it's just the ball hitting the pitch, I think, and not the bat.

  19. Postpublished at 22:04 British Summer Time 15 August 2021

    It looks like Malan has hit this as he's tried to sweep, but I need a proper zoom close up.

    Now then.

    Has Tom Hartley got Dawid Malan lbw? They've sent it upstairs...
