They've had to wait patiently through the first three days of the tournament but the time has finally come for Trent Rockets and Birmingham Phoenix to join The Hundred party in 2022!
The Phoenix, with Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone leading the way, came up just short last year as they lost to Southern Brave in the final. They'll be keen to go one better this time around.
Meanwhile, with Alex Hales, Joe Root and Rashid Khan in their ranks, the Rockets will hope to be pushing for the title as well. So this should be a corker!
