  1. Rockets 32-1published at 16:21 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 95 from 78 balls

    Not a good ball.

    Too wide from Danny Briggs and Dawid Malan lifts over the off-side field to pick up another boundary.

    Spinner Danny Briggs is going to bowl the final set of five balls in the powerplay.

    This could be a risk.

    I still can't believe that shot.

  4. Rockets 28-1published at 16:19 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 99 from 80 balls

    Good comeback from Tymal Mills with just a leg bye coming off the final four balls of that set.

    Mills has bowled really well so far.

  7. Rockets 27-1published at 16:17 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 100 from 84 balls

    Did D'Arcy Short mean this?

    Tymal Mills sends down another bouncer, and Short bends over and lifts his bat up, to deflect it, but he's looking away as he plays it.

    A no-look upper cut. Brave.

    Without Ross Whiteley's unbeaten 39 off 29 balls, you sense Southern Brave wouldn't even be in this game still.

  9. Rockets 23-1published at 16:15 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 107 from 85 balls

    George Garton just hasn't been able to find a consistent line and length so far.

    He's a little bit wayward, sending down a wide, before Dawid Malan picks up a couple down to third.

    It's another no ball too, that's three already. The free hit just goes for a single.

    Beautiful shot. Beautiful balance.

  11. Rockets 17-1published at 16:12 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 110 from 88 balls

    Lovely again from Dawid Malan.

    He's played two beautiful cover drives now. Perfect balance.

    Dawid Malan is the number one T20 batter in the world, and he's hopping around. This is terrific stuff.

  14. Rockets 11-1published at 16:10 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 116 from 90 balls

    Superb start from Tymal Mills, with just two runs coming off the bat.

    Eoin Morgan did call him out for a potential T20 World Cup call-up, which is due to take place in October and November, last month.

    He'll be keen to impress.

  15. ouch!

    Rockets 11-1published at 16:08 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 116 from 92 balls

    Tymal Mills hits Dawid Malan on the other hand now!

    Terrific bowling. It's quick too.

  16. ouch!

    Rockets 11-1published at 16:06 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 116 off 93 balls

    Ouch!

    Tymal Mills finds a little bit of extra bounce and it wraps Dawid Malan on his left thumb. He immediately starts to shake it.

    On comes the physio.

  17. Rockets 11-1published at 16:05 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Need 116 off 94 balls

    D'Arcy Short has been caught off the free hit.

    That's twice that's happened in this innings.

    Cricket.

    BBC pundit Tymal Mills is on.

    He starts with a no-ball. Free hit pending..

  19. Postpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    Somewhere England head coach Chris Silverwood and captain Eoin Morgan will be nodding in approval at George Garton.

    They will be loving that character.
