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
Brave vs Rockets, 15th Match at Nottingham, Men's Hundred, Aug 16 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Rockets won by 4 wickets (with 4 balls remaining)
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 will bowl the last set. Two runs needed by Rockets. Is there a twist?
angled across, possibly another slower ball. Thick-edged to deep third for one more
full outside off, Stoinis drops back and hammers to deep point
full on the stumps, 78mph and Harrison closes the face, squirts one to deep third
length ball, 80mph and decking away, beats the edge as Harrison pushes outside off
Calvin Harrison is the new batter
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
Mills to bowl, five needed from 10
Marcus Stoinis strolls in to ice the chase
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
pace off in the channel, Banton punches to cover
full on off, bunted into the ground and Thompson sticks out a paw in his follow through
pace on, 86mph in the channel, slapped out to deep point
loopy slower ball, crashed through the covers! Moores is seeing it like a football, leans back and helicopters it through the infield, to cheers around the ground
Thompson returns
short and clothed into the gap, lands safely and brings up fifty for Moores! Top-edged pull off an 89mph delivery, but everything is falling his way today
back of a length, 87mph outside off and Moore throws the hands, fails to connect
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
shortish over the stumps and fended away through square leg
back of a length, 86mph in the channel. Banton drives on the up, doesn't connect
Archer for his final set, 14 needed off 20
Moores the merrier! Shovelled off his pads and he picks the gap through midwicket. Rockets' new man getting the job done
pushed through on off, 56mph and Moores jabs into the covers
angled across, comes off a leading edge
mullered into the crowd again! Moores it making batting look easy here. Drops back and hammers a pull 95 metres over deep midwicket
