8.46pm: Thanks for joining us tonight, we'll be back for more Hundred action tomorrow.

Hosein is player of the match. "Grateful for the start, and thankful to be able to put my team in a winnign position early on," he says. "It was about what was working well at each end. It's a happy bunch and a talented bunch as well. Whenever the ball is thrown to us, it's our opportunity to make it count for the team."

8.41pm: The Rockets join Oval Invincibles and Southern Brave in the top three, as the only sides with 100 percent records after two games. This was a bit of a grind on a slow, turgid pitch, but the upshot is a seventh successful run chase out of eight in the men's Hundred this season. Set up by Akeal, Rehan and Stoinis with the ball, with Banton getting them ahead of the rate with the bat. Imad and Rashid squeezed hard for the Superchargers, but it wasn't enough.

Potts to Stoinis, FOUR, stays leg-side of it, cuts it away into the gap at point, and Rockets win by five wickets!

Scores level. Potts will go again.

1
Potts to Hose, 1 run, skips down to the slower ball, hit on the left hip as he looks to swing it away. Potts has a run-out chance at the bowler's end as he fields off his own bowling, but his throw is wide. Direct hit would have been toast

Potts to Hose, FOUR, low full toss outside off, carved over extra cover! Hose lashes him away
18.3

Potts to Hose, no run, slips out as a thigh-high full toss, but Hose can only mistime it to short midwicket as he charges down

6 off 8. It's a hit away. Hose marks his guard.

Potts to Stoinis, 1 run, slower ball, down the leg side. Nudged to short fine leg
18.1
2
Potts to Stoinis, 2 runs, full toss to start, punched down the ground for a couple

Potts has been expensive but will have to bowl straight through here, unless Brook turns to Lawes for the first time tonight.

END OF OVER:
18 | 1 Run 1 Wkt | TR-M: 116/5 (9 runs required from 10 balls, RR: 6.44, RRR: 4.50)

  • Adam Hose0 (1b)
  • Marcus Stoinis1 (1b)
  • Imad Wasim3.5-0-19-3
  • Adil Rashid3.5-0-18-2

10 off 15 has become 9 off 10. Imad finishes with 3 for 19.

17.5
0
Imad Wasim to Hose, no run, slides on with the angle, inside-edged back to Imad

9 off 11... is this game still alive? Adam Hose walks in at No. 7. Slip in. Five men in the ring.

Jane: "Notwithstanding premature suggestions Rehan should retire, good and vindicated tactics by the Rockets to keep him batting, he has been in tremendous form in the county championship. And well bowled by Adil Rashid to finally clean him up"

Imad Wasim to Alsop, OUT, played on! Superchargers are still alive. That's one of the cheapest wickets you'll see. Dragged down, Alsop looks to heave it over midwicket. Toe-ender skews into the pad and dribbles onto the stumps

1
Imad Wasim to Stoinis, 1 run, dropped at mid-on! Sits up from a length and Stoinis looks to club it leg-side. Crawley dived forward but couldn't cling on

Stoinis at No. 6. Imad takes over. 10 off 15 is the equation.

END OF OVER:
17 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | TR-M: 115/4 (10 runs required from 15 balls, RR: 6.76, RRR: 3.33)

Rashid to Rehan Ahmed, OUT, knocks him over! Slider crashes into off stump. No celebration from Rashid, who knows that the game is done. Rehan cleared his front leg looking to cut, but was cramped for room and played over the top of it

Rehan Ahmed b Rashid 31 (31m 26b 2x4 1x6) SR: 119.23

Rashid to Rehan Ahmed, FOUR, lobbed up above the eyeline, Rehan nails the sweep this time. Dragged away through midwicket

Rashid to Rehan Ahmed, no run, sharply-spun legbreak beats Rehan's slog-sweep. Turned a long, long way

Rashid to Alsop, 1 run, shimmies down to turn this into a low full toss, and knocks a single to long-on
16.1

Rashid to Alsop, FOUR, floats it up outside off stump, and Alsop crunches him through cover. Lovely shot. Has to reach for it, but gets it out the middle

Rashid will finish off. 19 off 20 is the equation. Surely Brook has held him back too long?

13,497 in at Trent Bridge tonight.

END OF OVER:
16 | 15 Runs | TR-M: 106/3 (19 runs required from 20 balls, RR: 6.62, RRR: 4.75)

Mohammad Amir to Rehan Ahmed, SIX, slog-swept into the stands! Full, wide outside off stump. Rehan steps across and whips it over square leg for an outrageous six. Potts was in the game on the rope and this wasn't out of the middle, but 66 metres is enough on a ground like this

The crowd wakes up to acknowledge the team hundred

Mohammad Amir to Rehan Ahmed, 2 runs, slower-ball bouncer, flat-batted back over Amir's head for a couple more
15.3
2
Mohammad Amir to Rehan Ahmed, 2 runs, hard length, punched down the ground with a straight bat and Alsop races back to the bowler's end for the second

Hit out or get out for Rehan.

Muzahid: "Malan and Clark in the boundaries are not doing enough"

Mohammad Amir to Alsop, 1 run, hard length, flashed out to deep point with an open face

Mohammad Amir to Alsop, FOUR, wide yorker, inside-edge wrong-foots Pepper! Amir isn't happy, but the keeper was well beaten

There's a case for a tactical retirement here to get Stoinis in, given Rehan's struggles. But he'll bat on for now. Rockets pulled the trigger on one of those last year.

END OF OVER:
15 | 7 Runs | TR-M: 91/3 (34 runs required from 25 balls, RR: 6.06, RRR: 6.80)

Lawrence to Rehan Ahmed, 1 run, tossed up outside off stump, keeps very low as Rehan drags it down to long-on

Lawrence to Rehan Ahmed, no run, shapes to reverse, can't lay bat on ball

That boundary has made the equation look much more manageable
