9.25pm: Rockets keep their season alive with a clutch win in Cardiff. They were in strife at 76 for 5 but rode the wave as Colin Munro fired them up to a defendable score, with Fire always struggling to go at the required rate. And with that win, Rockets go from bottom of the table to third, sitting among a group of five teams on five points

Colin Munro is the Match Hero: "The chat with TKC was to get 50 off 50, build a partnership, just allow the strikers at the end to come in with a bit of a platform. Lucky to get a few out of the middle as well. Sams has been outstanding all season. They went yorkers and that played into our hands a bit. It was nice to get some runs and contribute. Great to get over the line after losing a couple of close ones. They've got a dangerous batting line-up. When it does get close you question every little bit here and there. But young John Turner bowled really well, first game in the Hundred. To close down the game, bowling to Clarkey who's a world-class player, to shut him down as he did was outstanding, and then to close it out at the end."

That's yer lot for another night of the Hundred. Tomorrow it's the London derby at The Oval, so be sure to join us for that. Bye!

Turner to van der Merwe, 1 run, full outside off, pounded down the ground to long-off, Root just acts as a roadblock before throwing the ball in - and Trent Rockets win by four runs! Fire flame out despite a gutsy chase

Got to clear the ropes now, Roela

Turner to van der Merwe, 2 runs, full and slugged down the ground, it's fine of Hales but he makes no mistake as he fields at long-on to keep them to two

Two more of those will do

Turner to van der Merwe, FOUR, pitched up, swings hard, slices four to deep third! Big heave and it goes fast off the edge, beats the man down there!

Roelof van der Merwe walks out, 12 needed from three. Still no Shaheen!

Turner to Clarke, 1 run, OUT, back of a length, 86mph and Clarke pulls to long-on, he tries desperately to come back for two... but is left well short by Hales' throw! Clarke has played valiantly but he won't see this one through. Fired in hard and flat, Kohler-Cadmore completes the job and Clarke has to keep running for the dressing room

JM Clarke run out 54 (59m 34b 2x4 2x6) SR: 158.82

"Surely it has to be Afridi... Willey is more well rounded but for short cameos, gotta be Shaheen!" They're not listening, Isaac Marshall

Turner to Willey, 1 leg bye, round the wicket, back of a length and Willey is hit on the body trying to pull. Clarke calls him through for a leg bye

David Willey is the new man. Turner will bowl out... 14 needed off five by Fire

Craig: "From Hero to Zero for John Turner within a ball ! Incredible drama. No stopping the Fire!" Still time for him to be either here

Sams to Phillips, OUT, holes out to long-off! Phillips knows he has to put another one on to the bleachers but scuffs his lofted shot down the ground and it's a simple take for Hales coming in off the rope. Another twist as the game turns Rockets' way again

GD Phillips c Hales b Sams 12 (6m 5b 1x4 1x6) SR: 240.00
