Four more!
James Vince sweeps and tickles the ball through fine leg for yet another boundary. Clever from Vince, taking on the Rockets' biggest threat.

A big 'un!
James Vince gets down low, stretches his arms and launches the ball high and long and into the stands. Gorgeous.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 LiveI'd love Rashid Khan to put on a performance tonight, to at least get his team close to a win.
Brave 32-1published at 84 balls left
Ouch. A rare full toss first up, and he's heaved for four by James Vince.

Now then. Here's the big moment. Rashid Khan enters the attack.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 LivePaul Stirling is a great player to have in this situation because you can give him a licence to smash a quick 20 or 30 and break the back of this chase. That will win them the game.

An excellent bit of fielding down in the deep stops James Vince flicking his way to another four.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 LiveI wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of De Lange. He's massive.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe bowler will not be pleased with that. It should never have gone past Samit Patel and he's been given a glare from De Lange.

James Vince gets off the mark with four!
Poor Marchant de Lange has not been helped out by Samit Patel, who lets the ball burst through his hands at short fine leg and away down to the boundary rope. De Lange is not amused.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat a start by Marchant De Lange, but the job is nowhere near done. They don't have many runs to play with and he's got to take a few more wickets quickly.

De Kock c Cook b De Lange 6 (Brave 22-1)
And that's the end of Quinton de Kock!
De Kock, looking to end things quickly, goes for a pull shot but ends up hoicking Marchant de Lange high into the night sky. It hangs there for an age but Sam Cook does well to watch the ball all the way down into his hands.

And whipped for four first up!
A tasty full delivery from De Lange, on the pads, and Quinton de Kock won't miss out on that. You know a shot's good when the batsman doesn't even bother running.

Here's Marchant de Lange and his remarkable facial hair.

Paul Stirling advances, gets in a tangle, but manages to inside edge the ball past his stumps, the keeper and the fielders and away for four.
