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."

Cook to Critchley, 1 run, full on the stumps, clipped down to long-on. Rockets wrap up a 29-run win and confirm their place in the play-offs. Welsh Fire, meanwhile, become the first team in either the men's or women's competitions to lose all eight games in a season

Cook to Cobb, OUT, swatted to mid-on! Maybe pace off and Cobb can't generate any power, backing away and plinked into the leg side. Well held by Munro

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

Cook to Cobb, SIX, slot ball, battered over long-off! Full and in the arc, Cobb hits it cleanly down the ground

Sam Cook to finish off... 38 needed from five, which is going to be... tough
