9.05pm: Right, thanks for your company tonight. We'll be back tomorrow for a double-double-header!

Lockie Ferguson is the Match Hero. "The boys bowled excellently tonight," he says. "Nice to get one under the belt early on in the comp. The boys looked at change-ups and hit the yorker well. Early wickets helped us in the middle. The team has got together really quickly, which is nice. Enjoying my time here. One-day turnaround into the Superchargers. Another strong side. Important to put on a good performance for our home fans."

9.00pm: A low-key night in Birmingham. Good crowd in, but they had very little to shout about. Liam Livingstone's decision to bat first aged like yellow-label milk, with conditions far easier for batting in the run chase, and the Rockets made great use of it. Ferguson, Cook, Hosein and Willey were excellent with the ball, while Banton, Rehan and Holden all chipped in with the bat. Clinical start to the season for them.

Milne to Hose, FOUR, short ball, down the leg side, skews away down to fine leg via the glove and Rockets cruise home! Fourth chasing win out of four in the men's Hundred this year, and a clinical win is sealed with time to spare
