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, FOUR, short ball, whacked through deep backward square leg for four! Brave win by six wickets, making light of their earlier travails to get there with a set to spare

Wood to David, 2 runs, pitched up and crunched in front of the cover sweeper for a couple to level the scores

6
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!

Wood to David, SIX, slower ball, sits up wide of off... butchered over deep extra cover! David clears the front leg and mullers a flat six into the boundary boards!

Wood to David, no run, good length ball, pace on in the channel and David dabbles at it and misses

Decent set from Cook, and it leaves Rockets needing 15 from the final end

Cook to David, 1 run, pitched up and whipped leg side, Davies thinks about pushing for two - but is sent back

Ends a vital stand for Brave. Now, can Tim David finish this chase off?
