9.25pm: Rockets win a thriller at Trent Bridge, the defending champs defend their turf! Brilliantly closed out by Daniel Sams, as Brave's chase falls short in the final set. No one managed to make more than Leus du Plooy's 29 but they hung in there right until the end. Sam Hain is the Match Hero: "Pretty nervous, what a fantastic advertisement. I was just trying to build a partnership. Imad came in and took the pressure off, Brave bowled well. I haven't played a lot of 100-ball cricket but the boys are happy. I love playing here, it's a great group. We want to start strong and what better way than with a win in front of the Trent Bridge crowd."

That's a wrap for the opening night, a competitive men's game to contrast with last year's damp squib at the Ageas Bowl. Rockets are on the board while Brave, the 2021 champions, will have to wait for their first points. We'll be back tomorrow for a big spoonful, double double-headers at Cardiff and Lord's. The Hundred is back, broadcasting on all channels. Good night!

Sams to Mills, OUT, off-stump yorker, Mills looks to scoop, he's hit on the boot. Sams belts out a prolonged appeal and Rockets review. Was it outside the line? No bat involved, reckons Nigel Llong. Here's Hawk-Eye... Impact in line, smashing middle, it's all over!

Sams to Overton, 1 run, OUT, full at the stumps, 81mph and helped leg side, Overton wants two... but he isn't getting back! Good, flat throw from Wood at deep square and TKC gleefully destroys the stumps. Rockets clinging on at the death here!

Sams to Overton, 1 wide, sprays this down leg! That's going to be a wide, to the crowd's dissatisfaction

Craig Overton is in, nine needed off three

Sams to Jordan, OUT, bowled him, hits the base of off! Sams goes bam at the vital moment for Rockets, arms spreads as he sprints off in celebration! Jordan won't be the last action hero for Brave
