9.54pm: Trent Rockets become the first men's team to ensure their progression, getting above par with the bat and then doing the needful with the ball. Matt Critchley played a decent hand in reply, scoring only the second fifty by a Fire batter this year, but he had little support and there was rarely any sense that they could go at the required rate to put pressure on Rockets' attack. Anyway, you can check out the table ahead of two big games - London Spirit against Birmingham Phoenix, and Manchester Originals versus Oval Invincibles, both effectively quarter-finals with Rockets now through. We'll be back to bring you every ball (because they all count). Cheerio!
Dawid Malan is the Match Hero: "Got a couple away early and then it slowed up and became harder to bat on. That's the point of the group stages, hopefully we can get to the final. Fantastic to qualify, be nice to go straight through and get a game off. We've got a good bunch of guys, it's going really well and we've created a good environment. When you're in the runs you want to contribute to winning games."
Ish Sodhi comes out

Fire have now scored their highest total this year, which is something
