Nick: "The Rockets and the Invincibles really have the best teams in my opinion... The allrounders Willey, Stoinis" -- Yep, both very well balanced. And will be joint-top assuming the Rockets chase these runs. They play each other at The Oval on Thursday night.

Ravindra to Holden, no run
reverse-swept straight to short third

Ravindra to Rehan, 1 run
straight up, comes down with snow on it.... but Ravindra can't get underneath it. Rehan came charging down and it hung in the air for an age as Ravindra back-pedalled and then dived, but he didn't even get a hand to it
32
6
Ravindra to Rehan, SIX runs
drops short, Rehan hauls him over midwicket for six! Into one of the longer pockets on a small ground, but 70 metres is still enough to clear the rope, just about. Rocks back and slugs it over the boundary
31
•
Ravindra to Rehan, no run
hangs leg-side looking to force through the covers, but can only force it back down the pitch
Rhys: "Rehan Ahmed is a slightly confusing one - he's turning into a Smith or Borthwick, becoming a batting all-rounder for Leicestershire. But that's probably hurting, rather than helping, his England career." -- Not sure how five centuries in a summer can have hurt his chances! In the white-ball squads named on Friday and surely a very good chance for a place in the Ashes touring party.

Noor Ahmad to Rehan, 2 runs
short and wide outside off, Rehan throws his hands and carves him out to deep cover. Hurst cuts it off on the rope

Noor Ahmad to Holden, 1 run
strays onto the pads, keeps very low as Holden stabs out to deep backward square leg

Noor Ahmad to Rehan, 1 run
wrong 'un, punched out to wide long-off
Noor Ahmad comes into the attack as the field spreads. Hasn't quite lived up to his £200k price tag with four wickets in his first five games this season.

Tongue to Rehan, no run
rushed for pace. Back of a length, Rehan looks to haul him over the leg side but it sneaks under his bat. 91mph
24
•
Tongue to Rehan, no run
slower ball, mistimed back down the pitch

Tongue to Rehan, FOUR runs
outrageous wristy slap over short third man! Back of a length, stays leg-side of it to manufacture some room, and flashes hard with supple wrists behind square
22
4
Tongue to Rehan, FOUR runs
width outside off, rasping slap through the covers! 91mph, but flies to the boundary even faster. Ravindra was interested at cover on the edge of the ring, diving to his right, but couldn't get across in time
21
•
Tongue to Rehan, no run
hard length, blocked into the off side. 91mph
Five balls left in the Powerplay.

Ravindra to Holden, no run
width outside off, doesn't turn quite as much as Holden blocks into the covers
19
•
Ravindra to Holden, no run
width outside off, sharp turn to beat the inside edge as Holden shapes to drive. "Nice, Rachin!" barks Buttler
Holden at No. 4.
DaWolf: "Root V India in the Test Series. 3 centuries, 537 runs @67. Root in the Hundred. 63 runs @12.6. Crazy how form is so fickle!" -- I would hazard he's probably happy it's that way around...
