    Finally that reverse hit works for Munro! They're taking cover beyond the ropes.

    Got it!

    Colin Munro gets his timing right and launches a reverse sweep over the leg side for six.

    The Rockets will need a few more of those.

  3. Rockets 117-4published at 87 balls

    Well that's one way to get runs. Munro gives it a mighty swing, missing the ball, but so does keeper Quinton de Kock and the ball runs away for four byes.

  4. Rockets 113-4published at 86 balls

    And yet another dot. Colin Munro can't get off strike.

  5. Rockets 113-4published at 85 balls

    Great job from 18-year-old Rehan Ahmed who finishes on 0-23.

    Jake Lintott will bowl the next set of five.

    They are going to struggle to get a big score because it's a difficult wicket to be a starter.

  7. Rockets 110-4published at 83 balls

    Great bowling from Rehan Ahmed. He starts with a single and two dots.

  8. Rockets 109-4published at 80 balls

    Gregory 7, Munro 1

    The Rockets finish Hogan's set, knocking the ball around for a couple of twos.

    It's crunch time in this match now. What will the Rockets be targeting? 140 at a push?

    Looking to target the leg side, he went across too much there, Malan. The good old-fashioned yorker does it.

    Malan b Hogan 59 (Rockets 106-4)

    Party's over!

    Michael Hogan has his revenge, going full and straight and catching out Dawid Malan as he moves across his stumps.

    Where do the Rockets go from here with two new batters at the crease now?

  11. 6 runs

    Rockets 104-3published at 76 balls

    Huge!

    Dawid Malan steps back and launches Michael Hogan for six into the stands on the leg side.

    It also brings up the Rockets' 100.

    The anchor of this innings for the Trent Rockets. He would need to be there until the end.

    50 for Dawid Malanpublished at 75 balls

    Rockets 98-3

    Dawid Malan slogs a two to reach 51 off 38.

    A more measured display from this year's leading run scorer. Now will he go big?

  15. Rockets 95-3published at 73 balls

    A single from Malan, he moves on to 49.

  16. Rockets 94-3published at 72 balls

    A single from Gregory off Jake Lintott puts Malan, on 48, back on strike.

  17. Rockets 91-3published at 70 balls

    A great set from Fuller.

    He's bowled a tight 1-15 off 15 balls.

    The Rockets have been well and truly frustrated so far today. But can they claw some runs back?

  18. Rockets 91-3published at 69 balls

    Gregory 1, Malan 48

    Lewis Gregory is the next batter in. He starts with a single.

    Somerset all-rounder on BBC radio

    He's deceptively quick, Fuller, and he's got a number of wickets this summer where the batters have just not picked him. I think it would be a good effort from the Rockets to get 150, as they have a strong foundation.

    Patel b Fuller 21 (Rockets 90-3)

    Through the gate!

    James Fuller has his wicket, bowling Samit Patel who goes out swinging.

    Patel falls for 21 off 15.
