that'll do! Tossed up outside the eyeline, Gregory kneels into a swipe over long-on, and the unbeaten Spirit are unbeaten no longer!

Full commentary
9.17pm So Rockets saunter to the spoils in the top-of-table clash. It is they who are now in pole position for automatic qualification for the final at Lord's. Spirit lose their first in five, but they remain well placed for a play-off place. Colin Munro is the man of the chase, an unbeaten 67 from 37 balls, the only significant score of the night on an unusually tacky Trent Bridge surface. For Rockets, Rashid Khan was the star bowler, with three key wickets including two in his final set. And his impact has dented Spirit's run rate. From Miller, Valkerie and Ranjith, goodnight!
Colin Munro is the Match Hero. "A bit sticky on the wicket, so take it deep and have a swing when it was in the slot. We don't rely on two or three players, Rashid comes in and everyone puts their hand up at the right time. Woody with the new ball has freedom to run in and bowl fast. You look at our team, it's dad's army with some young talent too. We're nice and clear about our plans, and I love batting here with the crowd on my side."

too short, and arced into the stands! Munro's still in the mood for an early bath! Fierce bottom hand, swinging into the pull. Ten to get!

a waft outside off, and an inside-edge past the off-stump! Nearly beats the keeper too, but he dives well to save the bonus runs
Too little too late? Tom Moores would like to prove that to be so
