Bairstow b Turner 3 (Fire 16-1)
Jonny Bairstow's night is over. He tries to hack 22-year-old seamer John Turner off a length and seems his bails light up after missing altogether.
Good bowling from Turner.

Clarke run out for 54 off 34
Rockets recover from 40-4 to post 152-6

Jonny Bairstow, out for a duck in his previous game, is taking a little time to warm up in this innings too. He has only two from his first seven balls.

A decent set from John Turner. He should have had a wicket.
Eskinazi dropped on sevenpublished at 93 balls left
Down! Daniel Sams gets two hands to the ball as he dives forward in the deep.
Not a sitter by any means but catchable.

Target 153
Fire get their first boundary off the bat of Stephen Eskinazi. It's a little edgy although I should probably give him the benefit of the doubt. He might have played that.
The highly-rated seamer John Turner will bowl the next five.
Fire 3-0published at 99 balls left
Eskinazi swings hard at the free hit but only gets a single.
Bowler Luke Wood would probably have taken that.

A front-foot no-ball to start!
Free hit coming up...

Target 153
Luke Wood will start with the ball for the Rockets.
If there's any swing available he'll find it.

Colin Munro and his Trent Rockets team-mates emerge through the fireworks.
Can Jonny Bairstow repeat Munro's big hitting? He follows them out there along with Stephen Eskinazi to open for Welsh Fire.

Trent Rockets certainly didn't look like getting close to 152 when they were 76-5...
'Just above par'published at 19:56 British Summer Time 14 August 2023
Rockets batter Colin Munro, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was hard work out there. I am too tired to talk.
"I have been playing pretty well just the wickets have not been conducive to the attacking I usually do.
"I think we are just above par. The pitch might have got a bit better."

Thanks Callum. Colin Munro has got Trent Rockets in the hunt. Remember they go from fifth to joint top if they win this.

Time for me to go and warm up my pasta.
Matt Henry will take you through the Fire's chase of 153.

Talking of good catches, here's one from Joe Clarke to remove Alex Hales.

We all love a crowd catch, don't we?
What about a grab by a member of the groundstaff?
They certainly enjoyed it.

BreakingWow! A very good catch from Stevie Eskinazi ends the Rockets innings.
The defending champions recover from 40-4 to post 152-6.
Good effort, but will it be enough?
Rockets 152-5published at 98 balls
Colin Munro picks up a couple before Rockets get through for a bye as Munro misses with a switch hit.
Two balls remain. Can Rockets get up to 160?

Colin Munro is playing an absolute blinder here.
He finds the gap between fine leg and square leg with perfection to pick up another boundary.

Four more.
That's a lovely shot from Colin Munro as he pierces the gap between cover and mid-off.
Shaheen Afridi finishes with 0-28 from his 20 balls. He's also off on Pakistan duty after this game.

Less good from a Fire perspective.
Shaheen Afridi drops a little short and Daniel Sams pulls for six.
Effortless strike.
