Callum Matthews

  1. Brave 35-1

    Very canny from Root, who sticks a quicker one to keep it very tight after conceding a couple of singles.

  2. Harry Gurney
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Two

    It's a flat pitch so you have to get the batsman guessing in different ways.

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Davies was looking dangerous.

  4. Here we go. Bit of Joe Root off spin.

  5. Next batter: Delray Rawlins

    WICKET

    Davies c Malan b Gregory 21 (Brave 33-2)

    Gone!

    Davies' little cameo ends with a four and then a tame chip to Malan, who takes the catch off the bowling off his captain.

    Timely blow from the Rockets.

  7. Brave 29-1

    Gregory responds with a short one, forcing Davies to try and swat it out of the air. Swing and a miss.

  8. Brave 29-1

    Lewis Gregory - the skipper - into the action. Davies misses with one scoop shot to a slower ball, but succeeds with a second, sending over his own shoulder for four.

  9. Brave 25-1

    I think we're going to see a mighty big score here.

    Samit does well to keep Brave in check. Keeping them to ones.

  10. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC One

    It looks a very good track.

  11. Brave 22-1

    Samir Patel straight into the action with the ball. Bit of spin. He's a wily old campaigner.

    First ball is smashed away via a lovely drive, though, by Conway.

  12. Brave 18-1

    Timing. Just pure timing. Alex Davies sends the ball for another boundary before he is beaten by Wood to complete his set of 10.

  13. Brave 14-1

    Four more. A flick off the pads this time. Rattling along.

  14. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    That is the perfect start for Alex Davies. There was no swing back, it just stayed out there.

  15. Brave 10-1

    No surprise to see Wood continue after that initial set of five.

    Davies is away quickly, though, slashing a four away.

    Brilliant! That is the key wicket. Don't the Trent Rockets know it too!

    WICKET

    Vince b Wood 0 (Brave 6-1)

    Superb ball.

    It swings in and clatters Vince's leg stump. It's a massive early wicket for the Rockets.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    There was too much width from Luke Wood, and it was a free swing of the bat. Great shot.

  20. Brave 5-0

    Smash. Too much width and it is lashed away to the boundary by Devon Conway. Beautiful.
