    The Oval Invincibles have clawed it back a little bit but I think the Trent Rockets have done enough here.

  2. Rockets 181-4

    Well, after a brilliant start, a wobble in the middle and a cracking 24 not out from Lewis Gregory at the end, that is a fine innings from the Trent Rockets.

    Oval Invincibles need 182 to win.

  3. Rockets 179-4

    Sam Curran starts very well. Three balls, three runs.

    Can he finish it off in style?

  4. Rockets 176-4

    A wide, and Curran has to bowl it again but he gets away with it, just a single.

    Bit of a shocker there for Tom Curran. Meanwhile, Lewis Gregory has 20 from just eight balls!

    Five balls to go, what can they get?

  5. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Radio commentator

    Tom Curran has got his hands on his hips there, proper perplexed look.

  6. Rockets 171-4

    Lewis Gregory is playing a blinder.

    He smashes Tom Curran for four... and it's a no-ball! Free hit!

  7. Issy Wong
    Birmingham Phoenix & England bowler on BBC Radio

    Actually, it's these partnerships that win you games. These little cameos at the end.

  8. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Radio commentator

    All of a sudden, the balls are flying. Yes, the timeout yielded a wicket but these two are taking it on here.

  9. Rockets 164-4

    Colin Munro, you lucky man! He swings hard and gets a thick outside edge that runs away past the keeper for four more.

    Nothing's going right for the Invincibles bowlers at the moment.

    Swatted away, sheer hand speed, using all his wrists there. That was such a good shot.

  12. Rockets 160-4

    Rockets are back in control now.

    Lewis Gregory swipes one away for four, and this is a very handy little partnership forming.

    Rockets 153-4

    Oh, here we go! A very valuable six for the Rockets as Colin Munro clobbers one down the ground!

  14. Rockets 147-4

    A valuable boundary from Colin Munro as he edges one off Sam Curran for four more.

    Can Invincibles keep chipping away here?

  15. Issy Wong
    Birmingham Phoenix & England bowler on BBC Radio

    The wicket does fall after the break, just after the timeout. How may times have we seen over the last couple of years, that a timeout is resulting in a wicket?

  16. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    By hook or by crook, the Invincibles are fighting back into this.

    WICKET

    Sams c Milnes b S Curran 3 (Rockets 140-4)

    Whatever the Invincibles discussed in the timeout, it worked!

    Can't really blame Daniel Sams here, going for it. He tries to launch Sam Curran for six but just picks out the fielder on the leg side, who takes a simple catch.

    Rockets' momentum stalls once again...

  18. Issy Wong
    Birmingham Phoenix & England bowler on BBC Radio

    They've got two relatively new batters at the crease but Munro did well to change the line and tuck it away.

  19. Rockets 138-3

    Colin Munro flicks off his legs and it races away for four more.

    The Invincibles call for their strategic timeout with 20 balls remaining. With seven wickets in hand, is it time for the Rockets to start swinging?

  20. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Radio commentator

    Trent Rockets will be looking to end their innings on a high, with a few more. Will Daniel Sams be the man to do it?
