9.40pm: No Mo, no problem for Phoenix, who win their fifth game in the tournament and move to ten points with one to play - they can't finish outside the top three now. Their total was just above par, it seemed, thanks to a good finish, and then they took wickets regularly, with Imran Tahir and Pat Brown impressing. Rockets are still well placed to get into the knockouts, but will need to win their last match, against Manchester Originals on Sunday, to be sure. Anyway, thanks for sticking with us, we'll back for more with the London derby double-bill at T'Oval tomorrow. Bye!
Liam Livingstone is Hero of the Match for his 50 from 31: "That was carnage, trying to shout at people above the crowd. Brilliant win, great team effort, the bowlers were fantastic. Brown bowling ten at the end, I owe them one. [Captaincy] Always difficult taking over from Mo, he's so chilled. I enjoyed it, great group of lads and we're playing well at the right time. [Gregory wicket] We use Immy to get wickets and we needed to break that stand. Just gut instinct, it paid off. [Top of table] When you get into tournament we want to play finals cricket, hopefully we can go straight to Lord's. Don't think about captaincy when batting, disappointed to get out when I did."
Sam Cook is out for a bat at No. 11
M Carter b Helm 14 (11m 9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 155.55
Last five, Rockets needing 24. Pretty safe, you'd think, as Helm returns
Brown signs off with 3 for 27
