Full commentary
8.46pm: Thanks for joining us tonight, we'll be back for more Hundred action tomorrow.
Hosein is player of the match. "Grateful for the start, and thankful to be able to put my team in a winnign position early on," he says. "It was about what was working well at each end. It's a happy bunch and a talented bunch as well. Whenever the ball is thrown to us, it's our opportunity to make it count for the team."
8.41pm: The Rockets join Oval Invincibles and Southern Brave in the top three, as the only sides with 100 percent records after two games. This was a bit of a grind on a slow, turgid pitch, but the upshot is a seventh successful run chase out of eight in the men's Hundred this season. Set up by Akeal, Rehan and Stoinis with the ball, with Banton getting them ahead of the rate with the bat. Imad and Rashid squeezed hard for the Superchargers, but it wasn't enough.

Potts to Stoinis, FOUR runs
Scores level. Potts will go again.
95
1
Potts to Hose, 1 run
skips down to the slower ball, hit on the left hip as he looks to swing it away. Potts has a run-out chance at the bowler's end as he fields off his own bowling, but his throw is wide. Direct hit would have been toast

Potts to Hose, FOUR runs
low full toss outside off, carved over extra cover! Hose lashes him away
93

Potts to Hose, no run
slips out as a thigh-high full toss, but Hose can only mistime it to short midwicket as he charges down
6 off 8. It's a hit away. Hose marks his guard.

1
Potts to Stoinis, 1 run
slower ball, down the leg side. Nudged to short fine leg
91

Potts to Stoinis, 2 runs
full toss to start, punched down the ground for a couple
Potts has been expensive but will have to bowl straight through here, unless Brook turns to Lawes for the first time tonight.

slides on with the angle, inside-edged back to Imad
9 off 11... is this game still alive? Adam Hose walks in at No. 7. Slip in. Five men in the ring.
Jane: "Notwithstanding premature suggestions Rehan should retire, good and vindicated tactics by the Rockets to keep him batting, he has been in tremendous form in the county championship. And well bowled by Adil Rashid to finally clean him up"

Imad Wasim to Alsop, OUT
played on! Superchargers are still alive. That's one of the cheapest wickets you'll see. Dragged down, Alsop looks to heave it over midwicket. Toe-ender skews into the pad and dribbles onto the stumps

Imad Wasim to Stoinis, 1 run
dropped at mid-on! Sits up from a length and Stoinis looks to club it leg-side. Crawley dived forward but couldn't cling on
Stoinis at No. 6. Imad takes over. 10 off 15 is the equation.

Rashid to Rehan, OUT
knocks him over! Slider crashes into off stump. No celebration from Rashid, who knows that the game is done. Rehan cleared his front leg looking to cut, but was cramped for room and played over the top of it

lobbed up above the eyeline, Rehan nails the sweep this time. Dragged away through midwicket

Rashid to Alsop, FOUR runs
floats it up outside off stump, and Alsop crunches him through cover. Lovely shot. Has to reach for it, but gets it out the middle
Rashid will finish off. 19 off 20 is the equation. Surely Brook has held him back too long?
13,497 in at Trent Bridge tonight.

Amir to Rehan, SIX runs
slog-swept into the stands! Full, wide outside off stump. Rehan steps across and whips it over square leg for an outrageous six. Potts was in the game on the rope and this wasn't out of the middle, but 66 metres is enough on a ground like this
The crowd wakes up to acknowledge the team hundred
