7.45pm: Spirit need 167 to win, which would be their highest score of the season. Rockets vindicate the decision to bat first with a solid batting effort, with Alex Hales laying the platform with his 68 and cameos from Tom Banton and Joe Root around him. Valkerie will be here shortly for the second innings.
PK: "Dre Russ to open"
Hales is talking to Sky: "I felt really good. I love batting at Trent Bridge, it's a very fast-scoring ground. I've played here for 17 years. It's always special coming out here. It's a little bit up-and-down when you bash the pitch with your slower balls. Hopefully we can defend well with the ball." He shows off his bruise, around his belly button, from Ellis' beamer, then says: "If we can defend the short boundary well then we're in with a chance."
Rashid is standing so far across to the off side that you can see all three stumps as Gleeson runs in
Rashid Khan walks out with a single ball to face.
