19:44 Local Time, 18:44 GMT, 00:14 IST: The Rockets have given themselves a good chance here to win this with elan and maybe win big as well. The Phoenix on a slowish track managed only 111. Even the 100 run mark was breached thanks to a few fours from Boult at the end. The spinners were very frugal from the Rockets. And they also picked up wickets. Linde, Rehan and Root were just too tough to deal with. 112 should not be a tough chase but the wicket is on the slower side and there is turn available.

Sanderson to Mousley, out Caught by Max Holden!! Taken at short fine. Was a low full toss. On the pads, the batter wanted to heave it away but got a top-edge. The fielder did well to hold on. The ball was swirling in the air but he did well to grab it.

Root to Patterson-White, out Caught by B Cox !! Gone. Root has a wicket. Was a tossed up delivery, landed, turned away and beat the poke to be drawn out of his crease. The keeper did the rest.

Rehan Ahmed to Mousley, SIX, the flying Willey saves four for his team. Mousley spanked it across the line and the man in the deep long-on area leapt up, got to the ball and threw it back. It was supposed to be a sixer but Willey did a brilliant job. Uh oh, it shows he just clipped the cushion. It is unfortunate but Willey did a great job to fetch it back

W
Rehan Ahmed to Benny Howell, out Caught by Max Holden!! And has been hit straight to the man at deep mid. Was a tossed up delivery, Benny Howell wanted to slog sweep it but finds the man in the deep. Easy take for the fielder in the deep. Was hit flat but failed to beat the fielder. Rehan Ahmed now has three wickets to his credit. He has been brilliant. Benny Howell c Max Holden b Rehan Ahmed 3(5)

W
Linde to Livingstone, out Bowled!! Livingstone looks to pull and misses. That was 57 mph, Livingstone looks to pull and misses. The ball came slower off the deck and didn't bounce much. Linde had kept it on the sticks. You miss and I hit has come good for Linde. The Rockets are on top here. Half the side is back in the hut. Livingstone b Linde 10(13) [4s-1]
49
Rehan Ahmed to Mousley, no run, the batter looked to sweep, missed the line and was hit on the pads. The captain and the bowler had a word and went for the review. But the impact was easily outside the line. The keeper also had whipped the bails but the batter was inside the crease
45
W
Rehan Ahmed to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Tom Banton!! Taken at backward point. The batter wanted to play the reverse, gets a top-edge and the man behind square on the on-side took an easy catch. Second wicket off the set for Rehan Ahmed and the Phoenix team is in massive trouble. The execution from Jacob Bethell was poor. He could have taken his time a little. Gone for a blob. Jacob Bethell c Tom Banton b Rehan Ahmed 0(3)

W
Rehan Ahmed to Will Smeed, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Third one down. Was well outside off, flatter, Will Smeed looked to slap it but gets an inside edge for the ball to ricochet on to the sticks.

Linde to Joe Clarke, out Caught by Max Holden!! 59 mph delivery, spun in, the batter went for the slog sweep and has top-edged it down to deep mid.

W
Ferguson to Duckett, out Caught by Rehan Ahmed!! Taken at mid-wicket. That was banged in short at 85 mph, Duckett looks to drag the pull and mistimes it. The ball was sliced and Rehan takes an easy catch. Ferguson gets the breakthrough. Ben didn't have a great season and he would be gutted. He got starts a couple of times but like today didn't capitalize. Duckett c Rehan Ahmed b Ferguson 20(15) [4s-3]
