    Carter c De Kock b Jordan 0 (Rockets 96-9)

    Are we going to see the Rockets get bowled out? A big swing from Matt Carter, takes the edge, and a simple catch behind the stumps.

    No one even appealed, the most casual of celebrations from Brave.

    That is a tremendous blow by the moustachioed Marchand de Lange - and don't Trent Rockets need it.

    Well, they'll take six! Short ball from Jordan and Marchant De Lange whacks it into the stands for four. I've seen De Lange play for Glamorgan plenty of times, and he really does whack it. Rockets will need him to do that for the next twelve balls.

    Chris Jordan bowls a wide and Rockets will be very grateful for the extra run. Got to take what they can get at this stage.

    Rashid Khan c David b Mills 2 (Rockets 88-8)

    It's Tymal Mills again!

    He tries to go for the big shot, but it loops up in the air and the fielder runs backwards to take the catch over his head.

    Brave are all over this now.

    Rockets are in such a fragile position mainly because of George Garton, who put them on the back foot straight away with a stunning spell of bowling first up.

    Both Carter and Rashid can bat, but can they get Rockets to a decent score? Against Brave's bowlers, it certainly won't be easy.

    That's a brilliant bit of fielding. Moores looked like he was getting in and he heaved this delivery into the leg side, but Overton has made that look so easy.

    Moores c Overton b Jordan 19 (Rockets 87-7)

    The decision stands! Great work. These boundary catches have just become normal - Tom Moores whacks it high towards the boundary, Overton leaps and juggles the catch, throwing the ball up in the air to balance himself and take it when he's stepped back over the rope.

    Tom Moores can't believe it, he thinks Overton's foot touched the rope.

    Did his back foot touch the sponge? Tom Moores is coming back - he thinks he's fine, but I'm not convinced...

    They will check this, but I think Overton has done a brilliant job.

    Did Craig Overton take this catch? Or did his foot touch the boundary rope?

    Pressure situations can do funny things to people.

    Rashid Khan is playing some remarkable shots, swirling his bat like a helicopter, but is only getting singles.

    He deserves a four for each one purely for the flair.

    How did that miss the off stump?!

  20. Rockets 83-6published at Ball 71

    And now Lintott's in the game bowling and what a beauty to Tom Moores first up. Quinton De Kock behind the stumps lets out a gasp of disbelief that it hasn't got a wicket.
