5.18pm: Rockets get up again, having fallen to defeat at Lord's in the week. Souther Brave's total looked a tad light, but they were right in it at 60 for 4 after 41 balls. Tom Moores, in the side as a late injury replacement, dashed any such notion with his first Hundred half-century as Rockets soared to victory (despite a wobble at the last)

Tom Moores is the Match Hero: "Bit slow at times, some hold for the spinners. But thought it was a good wicket and there's always a short side here. Great to bat with Tom, he was keeping me calm. We hit in different areas so complemented each other well. [Change from 50-over] More intent, always try to take it to the bowler when I can. Just come out of the Blast so short turnaround. Nice to do it in front of a home crowd. Tough thing that happened in the field with Adam [Hose, who dislocated his ankle], so nice to get the win."

Okay, that's us done from Trent Bridge... but there's still one more leg of the Hundred to be run today. Join Vish for news of the toss from The Oval, where Welsh Fire are looking for a spark against the defending champions, Oval Invincibles

Briggs to Stoinis, SIX runs

pumped over long-on, Stoinis coolly ices it with a six. Trent Rockets win by four wickets, and they'll join Northern Superchargers on 12 points at the top of the table

Briggs will bowl the last set. Two runs needed by Rockets. Is there a twist?

Mills to Banton, OUT

slower ball, nicked behind! Banton walks... He's battled through but also departs with the winning post in sight. Nicley bowled, kicks up from a length and shivers the shoulder of the bat as he looks to steer one

Thompson to Moores, OUT

full toss, clubbed to mid-off! Moores won't be there at the finish but he walks off to a Trent Bridge ovation with the job as good as done. Tried to hammer it over the off side, as he has been doing all afternoon. Instead presents a simple cath to Vince

83
Archer to Moores, no run

banged in, Moores swings across it... was there an edge behind? Tom Lungley shakes his head, but Vince reviews. Replays show he missed it by a long way. Looks like it flicked the trousers. Good decision on field
