7.20pm Well, that was a hell of a fightback from Rockets. They must have feared 200-plus while Jacks and Cox were cutting loose, but a diet of yorkers from Stoinis and Sanderson cap a fine fightback, led by the last-minute replacement Pennington... even so, Jacks' 72 from 41 balls will take some matching if Rockets are to deny Invincibles their three-peat.
Jacks: "Very happy, Coxy has been playing brilliantly, read the conditions well, a good wicket, new ball was coming on nicely, slowed up a touch as it got softer and older, plenty to work with. We're confident. It's going to be tough, we need to be on top form to defend that score."
Stuart: "Curran before Billings probably cost the team another ten runs, Rockets game to lose after that fantastic fightback in the last 20 balls "
Akash: "If the Trent Rockets pull this off, it would be a cinematic moment in the 100's history."
Matt L : "Not that it matters as he's now been run out, but couldn't T Curran have been adjudged to have obstructed the field on ball 96?" There's arguably a case, but he was basically making his ground so probably a fair racing incident, as it were ... certainly not as clear-cut as the one the Camels were denied in the NELCL last week... and yes, I am still bitter!
What a curious end to this innings... a proper power failure from Invincibles. Out comes the skipper for a two-ball cameo! Last 30 balls, 47 for 3...
