  1. Rockets 71-1

    Need 56 from 48 balls

    Mahela Jayawardene dishes out plenty of advice to his Brave men. They're all too meek at the moment, though.

    Garton returns to bowl. He got the one wicket earlier, but a wide is followed by further easily-acquired runs.

  2. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Southern Brave are just hoping for a rush of blood from Trent Rockets.

    If the Rockets stay calm, they should be able to just knock it around.

  3. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    It's been pure play from Malan and Short - controlled, nice use of the feet.

  4. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC One

    There's lots to think about for the Brave.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Trent Rockets are just running Southern Brave ragged at the moment. They might have to bring up a couple of fielders, to make them take on the big shot.

  6. Rockets 68-1

    Need 59 from 50 balls

    It's so, so simple at the moment for the Rockets.

    The crowd sense it too. Feet up.

    The Brave take a much-needed tactical time-out to try and figure out just how they can make inroads.

  7. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    There are so many gaps...

  8. Rockets 64-1

    Need 62 from 53 balls

    De Grandhomme is charging in, huffing and puffing, but he's nit making a dent in these two's armour.

    Malan carves another four.

  9. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    There's no pressure on the Trent Rockets. They're just knocking it around nicely.

  10. Rockets 59-1

    Need 68 from 55 balls

    This feels a long time ago now...

  11. Rockets 57-1

    Need 70 from 57 balls

    Briggs twirls away and is milked for a succession of singles. Easy.

  12. Rockets 54-1

    Need 73 from 60 balls

    There just isn't any pressure on the Rockets right now. Brave need wickets. And fast.

  13. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    In the modern game, this is a stroll in the park.

  14. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Trent Rockets are cruising along nicely here.

  15. Rockets 53-1

    Need 74 from 63 balls

    Back to the pace as Chris Jordan enters the fray with the ball.

    Dawid Malan hammers his first ball away for four. Brilliant.

  16. Rockets 49-1

    Need 78 from 65 balls

    De Grandhomme varies his pace to good effect, trying to dry up the flurry of runs.

    Rockets are ticking along nicely.

  17. Rockets 46-1

    Need 81 from 67 balls

    Big Col in on, his mullet flapping in the breeze.

    His third ball is swatted away but fielded well on the boundary.

  18. Rockets 44-1

    Need 83 from 70 balls

    Nice from Dawson. Economical... until his final ball is smashed down the ground for four by Malan.

  19. Rockets 38-1

    Need 89 from 73 balls

    Cheers Callum.

    Powerplay done. Where is your money? Surely with the Rockets?

    Liam Dawson continues the spin assault and keeps it tight to start with.

  20. Rockets 36-1

    Need 91 from 75 balls

    Oh, superb fielding.

    D'Arcy Short lifts over the covers this time, and Southern Brave captain James Vince does brilliantly to flick the ball back in and restrict them to a couple.

    That's me done. Phil Dawkes will take you through the remainder of the chase.
