    That is magnificent. The swing of the bat is pure.

    The time-out breaks up the play as these two have just started to build momentum.

    Rockets captain Lewis Gregory has called for the tactical timeout with 15 balls left.

    Southern Brave coach Mahela Jayawardene is out having a chat with the two batters. I wonder what he's saying? "Find the boundaries, boys".

    Wowee!

    Same shot from Ross Whiteley and it absolutely flashes to the boundary.

    He has got himself in now Whiteley. Anything that is up he is taking a swing at it.

  6. Brave 97-6published at Ball 83

    Lovely! A bit too full from Rashid Khan and Ross Whiteley just pumps him back down the ground for four more.

    Whiteley is up to 30.

    The Brave just can't get going. They need to get that boundary count increasing.

  10. Brave 83-6published at Ball 77

    Luke Wood gets Chris Jordan ducking with a well-directed bouncer.

    Jordan nods at Wood in approval. Either approval or "right, I'm going for you".

    Thanks Phil.

    Trent Rockets have been very good. Southern Brave less so.

    What can they muster from the final 25 balls? They've got to find a way to bat them all, at the very least.

    Rashid takes us through to the 75th ball. Rockets on top, Brave still in trouble.

    Here is m'colleague Callum Matthews to see the innings home.

    The Brave might as well just go for it.

    Brave 79-6published at Ball 72

    Massive. Absolutely pumped into the stand with a big swing from Whiteley.

    Brave needed that, big time.

    The Rockets have got them in a bit of a headlock.
