    Trent Rockets will surely talk about that at the halfway stage. Couple of quick wickets and they'll know there is a chance because it's not easy to start on this wicket.

    Oh dear. Gregory leaves one alone, expecting a wide. Not given, and rightly so.

    Sams attempts a scoop, misses, but the Rockets sneak through for one.

  7. Rockets 137-5published at 97 balls

    Munro c Davies b Fuller 16 (Rockets 135-5)

    Full toss, hit him on the knee roll but I think that's going down the leg side.

    A review out of desperation more than anything.

    How has he managed to get a reverse sweep to the right of the wicket-keeper?

  15. Rockets 134-4published at 93 balls

    A mishit reverse gives Munro a single and puts Gregory back on strike. Next ball is a wide from Fuller. An easy win for the batting side.

  16. Rockets 132-4published at 92 balls

    Slower ball. Dot.

  17. Rockets 132-4published at 91 balls

    Gregory 10, Munro 15

    Lewis Gregory swats a wide one from James Fuller away for a single.

    Good start from the bowler.

    Not a great day for Lintott, who has been fantastic for Southern Brave otherwise. I feel he was too predictable with the field he had. Very little margin for error.

    Lintott fires in a wide before Munro chips one over the covers for four.

    After a measured start, the Rockets are finishing well.
