7.45pm: So, Rockets become one of the few teams to be bowled out in the competition, and for fewer than 100, too - that's about as anticlimactic as you can get in a knockout. George Garton claimed 3 for 18 at the top, Tymal 3 for 8 at the end, and Rockets couldn't muster much in between. Only four batters reached double-figures, Samit Patel's 20 from 21 a rather limp top score; all told, they scored seven fours and four sixes. No need for me to tell you who are favourites at halfway, though there's still the chance for some magic from Rashid Khan. Join Peter Della Penna for the chase shortly
Here's Garton: "It was a lot of fun, we had something to prove after our first game against them, we performed badly. But nice to get off to a good start today. [Wickets] That's my role, come in up top and be aggressive, put them on the back foot. [Pitch] Playing well, offered a bit with the new ball, but you saw some sixes as well. Hopefully we can chase them down. We've got Stirlo, Vincey and Quinny up top, some good middle order batting as well. Bit nervous, but that's good, playing in front of a huge crowd on a big occasion, loved it. The crowd's been brilliant, we had a fortress down in Southampton, and a great crowd tonight as well."

Brave now take the strategic timeout, presumably trying to work out the best way of taking one more wicket before the cut-off becomes a problem!
Matt R has this observation, by the way: "Tim David was such a last-minute replacement for Brave that he doesn't even have a name/number on his shirt"
M Carter c †de Kock b Jordan 0 (11m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
The cut-off for Brave to start the final set is 7.40pm, by the way

Brave are flirting with the cut-off, with 10 balls still to bowl - but it won't matter if they take ten wickets!
Marchant de Lange is next batter up

HarryFD is back: "Think Vince has used his bowlers brilliantly, 87 for 6 and the last 25 balls will all be bowled by the two best death bowlers in the tournament. Love how the Brave have such specific role specialisation with the bowlers."
Out comes Matt Carter at No. 9
