Full commentary

Right, let's draw a line under that one as quickly as possible. Four games tomorrow in the Hundred, starting in Cardiff bright and early. Thanks for your company tonight, and join us again soon.

David Willey is Match Hero, shrugging off Rehan Ahmed. "A bit of experience and understanding the game... I tried to use my change-ups. Nice to get those early poles. We felt these guys were top-heavy. We've had a great group. We've felt like we've played a lot together, and feel like a real unit. Makes for a great game on Thursday. [Rehan?] That intent we've talked a lot about. He epitomises that. He's a tricky one to bowl at."

8.55pm: Rehan grins on his way off after a stellar all-round performance, with 2 for 14 from his 20 balls and 45 not out off 35 from No. 3. But that was abject from the Originals, who never got going. Willey ran through the top order, Rehan and Cook did the damage in the middle, and Moores' cameo iced a straightforward run chase.

Currie to Rehan, FOUR runs

launched over extra cover! Stays leg-side of it, and lofts over the infield. That is an absolute drubbing. Rockets win by seven wickets with 26 balls to spare, their fourth win in five to keep pace with the Invincibles

Currie to Moores, 1 run

angled across the left-hander, punched out to deep cover

Currie to Rehan, 1 run

hangs leg-side of it, slaps hard into the covers. Half-stopped by Ravindra, who gets to his feet in time to prevent a second

sam: "someone was saying before the rockets chase that rehan would get a brisk 40 and win POTM seems like they were spot on"

•

Currie to Rehan, no run

short ball, past the ribcage as Rehan shapes to pull. Salt has reviewed in the hope that there might have been some glove on it. There wasn't.

Noor Ahmad to Rehan, no run

fast and flat, into the pad as Rehan looks to finish it in style

Free hit. Five to win.

2nb

Noor Ahmad to Rehan, (no ball)

short and wide, picks out Hurst diving forwards at deep cover. Hardly a celebration from the Originals. Hurst gets a high-five, and Noor smiles wryly. He gets his first wicket of the night with a proper half-tracker... hold on, it's a back-foot no-ball! That sums it all up for the Originals! Delivered from a long way back behind the crease, and very wide to create an angle across him. Rehan marches back out there, and Willey - who had started to walk out as the new batter - is applauded back to the dugout by Graeme Swann

•

Noor Ahmad to Rehan, no run

miscued back

Jane: "the previous poster's prediction regarding Rehan being top scorer in the match looks pretty good right now ..."

Noor Ahmad to Rehan, FOUR runs

gets down on one knee, slog-sweeps him away over short fine leg. One-bounce four

Noor Ahmad to Moores, 1 run

width outside off, fast hands to cut out to deep point

The Originals have had a shocker with their selection tonight, I reckon. Had to pick Tom Hartley on a surface like this one. Then again, they've sold themselves very short with their squad as a whole: far too many seamers, not enough batters.

Rachin Ravindra 1/28 (20)

Ravindra to Rehan, 1 run

sits deep, lofts down to wide long-off off the back foot

Ravindra to Moores, 1 run

full on off stump, looks to launch him over the off side. Mistimed. Hangs it the air, but lands safely. Rockets are looking to get this done ASAP to boost their Net Run Rate

Ravindra to Rehan, 1 run

stays leg-side of the ball, carves it out to deep cover

Ravindra to Moores, 1 run

width outside off stump, bottom edge nutmegs Buttler and skews away to short fine leg

Ravindra to Moores, FOUR runs

angled across him from around the wicket, Moores hangs back and flogs him over wide mid-off for four. Races away
