    WICKET

    Hales c Simpson b Rashid 43 (86-1)

    Adil Rashid finds the breakthrough!

    Alex Hales goes for the slog-sweep and skies it high in the air. John Simpson, with the gloves, takes the catch.

    Too late for Superchargers?

    Hales and Malan are fully in control with plenty of batting to come.

  4. Rockets 84-0

    Need 69 to win

    Oh, this is nice from Hales. Wiese bowls a yorker length delivery and the opener just guides it past the wicketkeeper for four.

    We're at the halfway stage in this innings and Rockets are in complete control.

  5. Rockets 77-0

    Fantastic fielding from Faf Du Plessis. A diving stop at mid-on to stop the boundary.

    But there's nothing Faf or anyone else can do about that. Another brutal boundary into the leg-side by Hales.

  6. David Wiese comes back into the attack.

    In case you missed it, here's that monster hit from Wiese earlier on this evening.

  7. Rockets 73-0

    Need 80 runs to win

    There's an appeal for a caught behind but Superchargers opt not to review. I suspect it came off the thigh.

  8. Mark Wood
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Crunched through the off side. It's almost like he doesn't want to hit it too hard but off the bat it absolutely flies. No chance for the fielder.

  9. Rockets 72-0

    Need 81 to win

    Whoosh! Dawid Malan is offered some width from Ben Raine and Dawid Malan drills it through the off side. Four more.

  10. Stephan Shemilt

    The bounce from those practice pitches has carried the ball over his head! That's a mistake, it should have only been one.

  11. Rockets 67-0

    Oh no! Ben Raine runs in for a catch from the deep, it falls short and then bounces over the fielder's head.

    Adil Rashid is fuming.

  12. Rockets 63-0

    Superchargers are in desperate search of wickets, but luck is just not going their way.

    Hales drags it to mid-wicket and there's a dive from from Roelof van der Merwe who can't hold on. Would have been spectacular grab.

  13. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer on BBC Radio

    With a change of leadership in England's white-ball team and problems with their form, what happens if Alex Hales is the leading run-scorer in The Hundred?

  14. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    The Rockets are making this look easy.

  15. Rockets 60-0

    Yet another 'nearly' moment for Superchargers. Hales glances it towards backward point and it falls just short.

    Then Hales once again hits a massive six into the Western Terrace. Easy as you like.

  16. Rockets 51-0

    Smart batting from Hales and Malan. Having scored the big hit, they nudge and prod away for singles to bring up the 50.

    Rockets need 102 from 70 balls.

  17. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    That Western Terrace is getting peppered.

  18. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    That sounded so sweet off the bat. I love that noise.

  19. 6 runs

    Rockets 49-0

    Now then. Superchargers need a wicket. So they turn to a certain Mr Adil Rashid.

    But... it doesn't quite go to plan. The leg-spinner's England team-mate absolutely smashes him into the Western Terrace.
