- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 two in the over! And this is the huge wicket! Over the wicket from Noor, full length, the wrong'un turns back through Duckett's gate, flicks the inside-edge and Buttler grabs it well, I think off the pad! What an intervention from the wristie! 53/27.1 first-ball launch down the ground, not timed! Du Plooy at wide long-off clung on, just, with a juggle, two metres from the rope! Allen wasn't the immediate dangerman, but that's a much-needed wicket! 48/113.2 bowled off an inside-edge! A game-seizing wicket from Dawson! Donald tried to stay aggressive, but yorked himself as Dawson fired it flatter into his advancing pads. A deflection off the bat, pads and into the off stump. A fine knock, but it's ended too soon for the Rockets! 95/510.5 chaos! Has Dawson recovered in time for the run-out, it looks like it! And it's Billings who has to go! It was a fine delivery first-up, jammed into the blockhole on a superb full length. Billings tried to burgle the single to the leg-side, but it was never remotely on... Donald didn't budge as the ball was sent back to the bowler, who fumbled once, twice, then flung himself at the stumps with the ball finally embedded in his hand! 86/311.4 pushed across the new man, a flat-footed drive, David's poor tournament ends with a first-baller! Noor is seizing this final! 91/418.2 hauled across the line, miscued this time! A cutter from Tongue, he didn't see it coming and couldn't impart the power. A steady grab from Klaasen at wide long-on. A crucial knock, as MSG are penalised for slow over-rate. Only three men out... 139/619.4 holes out to long-on! Overton went large, through the full length, but the slower ball suckered him as he got underneath his stroke. A confident take from Klaasen again. One ball to come for Calvin Harrison to launch... 158/719.5 timber! Harrison had launched each of his previous two balls in this competition for six. This one is full and straight and blows the stumps apart, via a bottom-edge! 158/8Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL158/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Finn Allen, 7.1 ov), 2-53 (Ben Duckett, 7.4 ov), 3-86 (Sam Billings, 10.5 ov), 4-91 (Tim David, 11.4 ov), 5-95 (Aneurin Donald, 13.2 ov), 6-139 (Lewis Gregory, 18.2 ov), 7-158 (Craig Overton, 19.4 ov), 8-158 (Calvin Harrison, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 wide line, but there's an edge on that, surely! Seifert chases the width, and seems to get a toe-end as the ball passes outside the tram-line... Billings leaps well to gather, and instantly appeals. Seifert reviews, but he probably felt the ball on the ground as well as the ball. A clear spike, in fact probably two in the melee of noise... but he knows, and throws his head back in annoyance 136/36.1 heaved off the length, straight into Ben Duckett's bread-basket at deep midwicket! A criticial breakthrough, but Walter's played his part to set this up 66/110.5 Buttler holes out to long-off! Crumbs! The break in play does the needful for Rockets! Buttler tried to pick up where he'd left off, but mislaid his timing in the time-out! A useful cameo, but a big wicket all the same! 100/218.3 sits back on the launch over wide long-on, but Donald at deep midwicket keeps the game alive! That's a brilliant sprawling catch, a sprint round the deep and a big dive to cling on! 156/418.5 walks across his stumps, must be close to lbw! This is a huge moment in an unexpectedly tense finish! Not out, says the umpire, but Rockets review, of course they do! It was full and straight, no bat involved! That is flattening the stumps! 156/5Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL162/5 (19.3 Overs, RR: 8.26 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-66 (Paul Walter, 6.1 ov), 2-100 (Jos Buttler, 10.5 ov), 3-136 (Tim Seifert, 15.3 ov), 4-156 (Heinrich Klaasen, 18.3 ov), 5-156 (Michael Bracewell, 18.5 ov)
