  1. 6 runs

    Rockets 89-2published at 45 balls left

    Target 123

    Woah! Tom Kohler-Cadmore joins the party with a huge six off Liam Dawson and Spirit have run out of steam, it looks.

    Eoin Morgan still looks very chill, but it would be an absolute miracle for them to turn this around.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Colin Munropublished at 46 balls left

    Rockets 82-2

    A single takes Colin Munro to a fine half-century from just 28 balls. A classy knock, leading the Rockets' recovery after losing their openers.

  3. 6 runs

    Rockets 81-2published at 49 balls

    Another almighty wallop for six and Colin Munro is leading his team to a comfortable win at this rate.

  5. Rockets 75-2published at 50 balls left

    Target 123

    Jordan Thompson, who loves a contest, starts really nicely by conceding just two runs, but the wickets that Spirit are so desperate for continue to evade them.

    Halfway through and win predictor has Rockets at 91%, which is pretty clear.

    Spirit couldn't believe their luck with this start.

    Has their luck run out, though? Rockets have looked pretty solid, despite this calamity.

  7. Rockets 73-2published at 55 balls left

    Target 123

    Spirit are struggling now.

    Eoin Morgan turns to his main man in Nathan Ellis, who starts well before being pummelled down the ground by Munro.

    Every dot is crucial if the London Spirit are going to get back into the game.

  9. 6 runs

    Rockets 66-2published at 60 balls left

    Target 123

    Oooft, what a shot from Colin Munro. Pumped down the ground and into the stands for six more.

    Rockets are enjoying this now. Just 57 runs needed from 60 balls.

    Liam Dawson, who is such an experienced cricketer, is on to try and seize back some control after that very expensive start from Mason Crane.

    They need wickets, and fast. Rockets, meanwhile, will be confident that if they bat their 100 balls, they'll win pretty easily.

    Back to back sixes swings the balance into the Trent Rockets favour a bit more.

    What a good shot that is! It's gone sailing towards some Trent Rockets supporters.

    Target 123

    Trouble for Spirit.

    Mason Crane is bowling pies, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore is tonking them all for six.

    Two huge hits into the stands and again the momentum swings towards the Rockets.

    That was lovely. Straight down the ground. Really nice shot from Munro who has picked the gaps well.

    Rockets 43-2published at 70 balls left

    Target 123

    No hat-trick.

    Smashed down the ground for six.

    Spirit need to get Colin Munro out, and quickly, if they want to win.

    Dan Lawrence is bowling again.

    I trust Eoin Morgan's judgement on anything cricket related. But this seems a weird move.

    He'll probably take a hat-trick now I've said that.

    Target 123

    A handy boundary to finish the powerplay for Trent Rockets, but Spirit will be absolutely delighted with those two big wickets of Hales and Malan.

    It's not over yet!

    A good diving attempt from Dan Lawrence, that would've been sensational. Really good effort.

    Rockets 26-2

    Oh. This would have been an absolute worldie.

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore lofts the ball down the ground where Dan Lawrence dives like Superman and sticks out one hand, but the ball agonisingly plops out as he lands.

    A stunning effort.
