9.52pm: Brave get the victory over Rockets again, though it's small consolation for the champions, who are already out of contention (barring mathematical miracles). They had 51 from 50 balls, and had it all to do, but Alex Davies hung in there, Ross Whiteley struck some powerful blows, and then Tim David applied the finishing touches. Rockets are still well placed to qualify for the knockouts, after only their second defeat, but will need to win their final game against Welsh Fire to be sure. Anyway, that's a wrap for tonight; from myself, PDP and Thilak, it's cheerio!

Alex Davies is named Match Hero: "Won't go down in history as one of the best innings played, but had to get the boys over the line. [Key to victory?] Ross and Tim staying with me, I'm wearing the medal but without their knocks we don't win. Those partnerships really. We've not been great at home, but it's a hallmark of this team we fight until the end. Nice to get a win, sure there might be a few beers tonight."

Wood to David, SIX, ransacked high over deep backward square leg! Short of a length, pace off again, but dispatched with alacrity over the head of the man on the rope. This is almost done and dusted!
