9:22pm With that, it's farewell from us here. Join us tomorrow for the final league match in the men's and women's competition as Southern Brave host Welsh Fire.

9:17pm The most important part to all of this - Rockets are through to The Eliminator in second. Which, for the umpteenth time, means they head to The Kia Oval not having to worry too much about the iffy forecast. If it rains, they're through to Sunday's final at Lord's to face two-time champions Oval Invincibles.

9:15pm Phew. Decent game, that, albeit on a naff deck. Rehan Ahmed is the Meerkat Match Hero with 3 for 15 and 37 off 23. "We got lucky there!" beams a clearly relieved Rehan. "Coxy was always going to do it, I had full trust in him."

Bethell to Cox, FOUR, And Cox has won it! The man called up because of a technical quirk has taken Rockets over the line in their last home match! Full, outside off, steps across and sweeps powerfully between deep square and deep midwicket. The Midlands has one champion, and it's Phoenix, who will go into this weekend angling for the whole thing!

Niranjan: "Best part of bowling spin in death, you can't run if you are beaten, worst part is you can easily convert"

3 from 2.. will this be the third tie in The men's Hundred?

Bethell to Cox, 2 runs, Charges down, meets a length delivery and calls two immediately as he works to midwicket... and gets them!

Bethell to Cox, no run, Mid-crease, skidding through, Cox misses the sweep! Shorter, wider, out of Cox's reach

Bethell to Holden, 1 run, Reverses straight away as Bethell starts full outside off, aerial to short third but bounces short and spins enough to make an awkward take for Chris Wood to allow a single

Bethell's staying over the wicket, to the left-handed Holden

END OF OVER:
19 | 4 Runs 1 Wkt | TR-M: 106/7 (6 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 5.57, RRR: 6.00)

  • Ben Cox11 (9b)
  • Jacob Bethell2.5-0-15-2
  • Chris Wood0.5-0-7-0

Not a bad shot to play, but off the toe. And now a new batter, Max Holden, will have to face the start of the final set... which will be bowled by Bethell

Bethell to Hain, OUT, Huge for Phoenix! Hain decides to go for it off this delivery... but his slog sweep finds Howell on the deep midwicket fence!

Haroon: "Smelling tie"

Bethell to Cox, 1 run, Full on middle again, conventionally swept this time... out to deep square. Another brave shot from Cox, but he's picked that well
