    Oh my word David Wiese, what have you done?

  3. Munro dropped on 12published at 20 balls left

    Rockets 130-2

    No, no, no. David Wiese hangs his head in shame as he drops a simple catch at long-on. It happens, but that is poor.

  4. Rockets 153-2published at 22 balls left

    Malan is on fire. Four more. Creamed through the off side.

    It's six but it hardly looked like he hit the ball. He just helped it.

  6. Rockets 122-2published at 24 balls left

    And again! It's a slower ball from Matthew Potts and Malan helps himself to six over the square-leg boundary.

    Dawid Malan has been outstanding today.

    That was swept with distain.

  9. 6 runs

    Rockets 116-2published at 25 balls left

    Need 37 runs to win

    Dawid Malan.. stop it. He picks Rashid's length up early and hits up and over the leg-side boundary.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Malanpublished at 30 balls left

    Rockets 107-2 (need 46 to win)

    DJ Bravo keeps the batters thinking by varying his pace, but Dawid Malan reaches his half-century with a single.

    Make that 54 off 37 balls as he despatches a full toss down the ground for four.

    Superchargers take a strategic timeout. What plan will they come up with? Another wicket or two and it gets interesting.

  11. Rockets 99-2published at 35 balls left

    Need 54 to win

    Colin Munro is the new batter in. They've still got Joe Root to come, remember.

    With the pressure building slightly, Malan finds the boundary by clipping Ben Raine down to fine leg for four.

    Rashid played it cool, didn't he? If I had caught that I would have thrown the ball 30 metres into the air.

    Fielding in that position you wouldn't think the ball would go to you in the air, but it just shows how you have to concentrate for every ball.

    That's a great catch. It's hard to judge how quickly the ball is coming to you when you're behind the bat so it's an excellent piece of judgement.

    Kohler-Cadmore c Rashid b Raine 1 (Rockets 60-2)

    Top catch! You can't keep Adil Rashid out of the game!

    It's sliced to short third and Rashid, at full stretch, takes a diving grab.

    Are Superchargers edging their way back into this?

  15. Rockets 93-1published at 39 balls left

    The last thing Superchargers need here is to gift the opposition runs, as Raine twice strays down the leg side for a wide.

    The intensity from Rockets, as you might expect, has died down a little since Hales' departure. But they're still firmly in the driving seat.

    I think the biggest challenge for Matthew Potts is that he was pretty unheard of in international terms but now people know what to expect.

    So he has to keep growing. An exciting start but challenges for head.

  17. Rockets 90-1published at 40 balls left

    Need 63 to win

    England's Matthew Potts returns to the attack. Kohler-Cadmore almost plays on as a bottom edge misses the stumps and goes through to 'keeper Simpson.

    Good running from the Rockets pair as they sneak two into the leg side but, other than that, it's a decent over from Potts.

    Big turn. Perfect for Adil Rashid but not what the Trent Rockets will want to see.

    Oh, look at that spin!

  20. Rockets 87-1published at 45 balls left

    Need 66 to win

    Woah! Adil Rashid has one turning a mile past new batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore.

    I have not seen it spin like that today. Rashid is magic.
