5.22pm: Slightly strange game, two teams finishing on 140-odd for the loss of four wickets. Clearly it was a difficult surface to fathom, but Rockets had the edge with home knowledge and ground out the result. Tim David was POTM after all! Actually, they might give it to Ben Duckett, or perhaps Mohammad Amir, whose ten-ball set changed the course of Sunrisers' chase. Let's see...

Ben Duckett is Player of the Match for his 64 off 47: "We adjusted really well, Aneurin [Donald] played extremely well in the powerplay and took pressure of me. Fantastic effort to get the win. [Batting] Was struggling to play straight, knew there'd be spin through middle, trusted my game that I could catch up. Two wins at home, hopefully keep doing the same things."

Lovely stuff, thanks for your company - and it's straight on to the next one, MI London hosting Manchester Super Giants with both teams eyeing second on the table behind Rockets. See ya!

Gregory to Alsop, FOUR, good length, boshed through long-off - but it's a legal ball, so job done! Rockets win by five runs and go four points clear at the top of the men's Hundred standings

Gregory to Alsop, 2 runs, full, wide and launched... but the connection is poor, it clears extra cover but will only fetch two. Rockets are home (barring mishap)!

Ripple of applause from the Trent Bridge crowd. They know their team is almost home

Gregory to Lawrence, 1 run, 81mph, fired in full at the stumps, inside-edged for one to deep third

Lots of discussions here between Gregory and his captain
