9.20pm: Back-to-back wins for Manchester Originals batting first, this one set up by Phil Salt's heart-attack inducing 86 off 32. Rockets wanted to chase, but probably not that many - and although Tom Kohler-Cadmore's fifty kept them in the hunt, wickets for Josh Tongue and Paul Walter pegged them back at the death to seal the result
Phil Salt is the Match Hero: "It was a good wicket, both sides played well, came down to who held their nerve at the end. At the halfway stage you always knows what the oppo has done well. Areas where we could have done better with bat and ball. A lot of top-order batters have struggled, so nice to get a few. Tournament play is about peaking at the right time. Every side wants to be hitting their stride at this point. [Last year's run to final] Almost identical, but this year we've got Jos. Hopefully keep going and find ourselves in the play-offs."
That's us done. Trent Bridge saw a record crowd of 15,500 tonight, but the home side leave disappointed, their chances of qualification in the balance with two games left. We'll be back for more tomorrow, as the Hundred rumbles on. Cheerio!

Gets the hitter on strike, 13 off four
Five balls to come, Rockets need a big hit or two. Walter the man to bowl
Fifteen off six now. Sams pulls out as Zaman runs in... and now Originals have missed the cut-off, so will have to bring an extra man inside the ring! Lots of discussion over Zaman's final ball
