9.25pm: Rockets keep their season alive with a clutch win in Cardiff. They were in strife at 76 for 5 but rode the wave as Colin Munro fired them up to a defendable score, with Fire always struggling to go at the required rate. And with that win, Rockets go from bottom of the table to third, sitting among a group of five teams on five points

Colin Munro is the Match Hero: "The chat with TKC was to get 50 off 50, build a partnership, just allow the strikers at the end to come in with a bit of a platform. Lucky to get a few out of the middle as well. Sams has been outstanding all season. They went yorkers and that played into our hands a bit. It was nice to get some runs and contribute. Great to get over the line after losing a couple of close ones. They've got a dangerous batting line-up. When it does get close you question every little bit here and there. But young John Turner bowled really well, first game in the Hundred. To close down the game, bowling to Clarkey who's a world-class player, to shut him down as he did was outstanding, and then to close it out at the end."

That's yer lot for another night of the Hundred. Tomorrow it's the London derby at The Oval, so be sure to join us for that. Bye!

Turner to van der Merwe, 1 run, full outside off, pounded down the ground to long-off, Root just acts as a roadblock before throwing the ball in - and Trent Rockets win by four runs! Fire flame out despite a gutsy chase

Got to clear the ropes now, Roela

Turner to van der Merwe, 2 runs, full and slugged down the ground, it's fine of Hales but he makes no mistake as he fields at long-on to keep them to two

Two more of those will do
