5:30pm Right, switch over to Southern Brave versus Manchester Super Giants which is due to begin at 6pm. See you there!

5:25pm Santner's 52* from 23 nets him the Meerkat Math Hero award: "With the dimensions of the ground, the left-right combo was good to us. That short side, you kind of just have to keep going every ball of the 10, and let Timmy do the other side.

"Six wins out of 7, you're not guaranteed the top one. It'll be a tight finish but we know what we need to do on Monday (their final match against Southern Brave) to get home (direct to next Sunday's final at Lord's)."

5:22pm Victory confirms Trent Rockets slot in the top three. Santner the man of the hour with an unbeaten 52 but he could have been dismissed on 24. A pretty lackluster performance from MI London, all told.

Boult to David, SIX, Nope, he can't! David steps out to the off side, Boult follows him with an attempted yorker but his creamed over wide long on!

Tom: "MI doing there best to keep slow coach David at the wicket." He's been the recipient of two of the three drops from MI. But Rockets need just 23 from the remaining 20. Can Boult summon something from his final five?
