    7.3 Bowled 'im! 72mph, following Lyth as he tries to make room to hit into the off side. Lyth ends up scuffing the ball into his stumps. Great bowling from Raza and smart captaincy from Salt to keep him on for this consecutive set 56/2
    6.2 Banton goes! Another skiddy delivery, very full, which Banton tries to squirt into the off side but can only thick edge it to Farooqi, who takes a low catch up in the circle at third 55/1
    11.2 Short... and skewed into the air with Walter continuing in his follow-through to complete the dismissal! Dug in and rushes Hales - easy as you like. This has been a great fightback from Originals since the Powerplay 78/3
    13.3 Ah well, here's a wicket all the same! Hartley holds this one back, meaning Hain has to really go for the reverse sweep. Not hard enough as it lands safely in the hands of third up in the circle 88/4
    17.1 Gone! Never mind the middle, this is sliced high off the edge! Hartley thinks about going for the catch, but leaves it to Walter who had learned from the earlier "after you, I insist" from Powell's previous skyer and takes a simple catch 124/5
    17.3 Brilliant catch! Jamie Overton stoops low to remove Imad after a shuggle and slap down the ground. Umpires checking to see if Overton got under it... and yep, the TV umpire is satisfied: "Fingers under the ball, fair catch." 125/6
    19.5 Gone! Another bumper from Currie, through to Salt who underarms and catches out Thompson's attempt to nab a single off the last ball. 145/7

    2.1 into the pitch, and popped back to the bowler! The ball just stood up a touch, Salt looking to work it leg side and spliced it - nice catching height for Cook in his follow through. Rockets have the early wicket they wanted 17/1
    19.5 bounces him out, Rockets win off the final ball! Holden takes on the shot but top-edges it down the throat of deep backward square leg! The home crowd is silenced, Originals have their heads in hands. A game that swung this way and that is burgled by the visitors at the last. Thompson the hero, he's earned his Skips tonight! 144/8
    2.4 skied... and taken on the edge of the ring! Hurst is looking to counterpunch in the powerplay but picks the wrong ball. The end result is a dirty slog at Cook's impeccable length, with the ball safely held by Wood in the covers. Little Chef serving up a masterclass, two in his first four balls 19/2
    9.3 bowled 'im! Make that one away from 600... Fast and flat, 57mph and dipping under Madsen's attempted sweep to hit off stump. Rashid celebrates with a finger pointed in the air and death stare for the departing batter - as if to say, that's what you get for twice reverse-sweeping me for four 68/3
    15.3 Rashid strikes, straight through him! And with that he goes to 600 T20 wickets! The trump card delivers, hits middle stump with Walter aiming a sweep and gives Rockets a glimmer. Still an excellent cameo from Tall Paul 118/4
    16.2 bowled 'im through the gate! Quicker ball, arm ball, hits middle and leg. Overton was on the walk and played all around it. Pressure increasing on the home side here 119/5
    16.4 Hartley walks past one and is stumped! Originals falling in a heap with the finish in sight... Imad pushed this through on a wide line as Hartley jumped out of his ground, completely missed with his swipe and didn't bother turning back 121/6
    19.4 clubs the slower ball to midwicket, Raza runs in desperation and should be out... Thompson collects the throw and smashes the stumps! He dropped the ball in the process but had it in control when the bails lit up! A dot and a wicket, and Rockets can still win this! 144/7
