  1. Rockets 4-0published at 3 balls

    Ooohhh, that's not ideal. Liam Livingstone chases Alex Hales' flick to the long-on fence and doesn't look too happy with the state of his right shoulder as he flings the return back.

  2. Rockets 1-0published at 1 ball

    Root down the pitch straight away. Single to cover to get off the mark.

    Down at the Ageas Bowl, Oval Invincibles have won the toss and chosen to bat first against Southern Brave.

    Brave have already qualified for the knockouts but will look to secure top spot and direct passage to the final.

    Invincibles are just about in contention but need a win today and several other results to go their way to have a any chance.

    Trent Rockets captain Lewis Gregory: "We were going to have a bat so I'm not disappointed. The three games here so far have been won by the team batting first so we were going to have a crack at that anyway.

    "The three defeats have been by small margins and we haven't quite been at our best but hopefully we can bring that in the last two games and sneak into the play-offs."

    Birmingham Phoenix Moeen Ali: "The wicket looks decent but we just want to keep ourselves in the game.

    "We've done a lot of things right but it just hasn't quite happened for us. We've played on some tough wicket and have just missed the crucial parts in the game.

    "It would be nice to win the last two couple of games and see what happens."
