Scorer: @Thilak_Rama | Commentator: Matt Roller

9.22pm: Right, that's your lot from us for tonight. Thanks for joining me, Valkerie and Thilak and we'll be back with more Hundred action tomorrow.

Tim Southee wins the Meerkat. "It was a pretty good performance," he says. "The way Bethell and Livi knocked it around for a bit, they chose good options. We try to adapt to conditions as quickly as possible and the surfaces have offered a little. [Spirit fixture?] It'll be our fourth game here so you'd like to think we've got a read on the conditions. We'll turn up in a couple of days' time and try to assess as quickly as we can."

9.17pm: The Phoenix go third, back above the Superchargers, and will be through to the knockout stages if they can beat London Spirit on Thursday night at Edgbaston. They could even be through before then if the Spirit go them a favour and win at Headingley tomorrow. The Rockets are out which represents a real underperformance and a rare failure to reach the play-offs from a team coached by Andy Flower... that's two group-stage eliminations for them in a row in the men's Hundred. They'll look back at those earlier defeats to the Phoenix and the Fire in botched run chases as the games where they threw it away.

Zubair Islam: "That no ball was very costly" -- Yep, felt like the moment when the pressure was released.

Cook to Bethell, FOUR, Bethell finishes the game, Rockets are out! In the slot, gets down on one knee and crashes Cook back over his head for four, dead-straight with a bit of late fade away. Superb innings from Bethell, taking his side across the line from No. 6 with support from his senior partner. Clenches his fist in celebration

Cook to Bethell, no run, full on the pads, slower ball. Deflects into the leg side as Livingstone looks to scamper through for a leg bye, but is sent back

Cook to Livingstone, 1 run, short slower ball, flat-batted back on the bounce and Cook parries it towards mid-on. Scrambled single

4 off 10 is the requirement. Rockets are eliminated with a loss. Can Sam Cook keep their campaign alive?

END OF OVER:

Imad Wasim to Bethell, FOUR, steps outside leg stump, Imad goes full outside off and Bethell throws his hands at it! Cracked away through cover point, in front of square. Straight out the middle. Great knock from Bethell
