5.22pm: Slightly strange game, two teams finishing on 140-odd for the loss of four wickets. Clearly it was a difficult surface to fathom, but Rockets had the edge with home knowledge and ground out the result. Tim David was POTM after all! Actually, they might give it to Ben Duckett, or perhaps Mohammad Amir, whose ten-ball set changed the course of Sunrisers' chase. Let's see...
Ben Duckett is Player of the Match for his 64 off 47: "We adjusted really well, Aneurin [Donald] played extremely well in the powerplay and took pressure of me. Fantastic effort to get the win. [Batting] Was struggling to play straight, knew there'd be spin through middle, trusted my game that I could catch up. Two wins at home, hopefully keep doing the same things."
Lovely stuff, thanks for your company - and it's straight on to the next one, MI London hosting Manchester Super Giants with both teams eyeing second on the table behind Rockets. See ya!
Ripple of applause from the Trent Bridge crowd. They know their team is almost home
Lots of discussions here between Gregory and his captain
Tom is back with more bantz: "Here one to keep up your sleeve if goes the right way. Player of the Match Tim David, that six at the end was the difference. Lol." Could turn out to be the case!
Gregory back for the final set, 16 to defend
