9:09pm That's all from us here. Thanks for joining. See you tomorrow!

9:02pm Ben Duckett is the Meerkat Match Hero with 75 from 47 in Rockets' chase: "With Craig coming in and winning it like that was awesome.

"The pitch was good, it was just bouncy with the new ball so it (the ramp) felt like a good option to go to. Put them off their lengths so I could score in other areas. IT felt like the bowlers did a great job. That's what we didn't do the other day - take wicket throughout. In this format, the best way to restrict a team is by taking wickets."

[ON OVERTON V OVERTON]: "They've probably done that in the back garden for years! He's been awesome for Somerset this year. We're going to take a lot of confidence from this one."

8:58pm The brothers embrace at the end there, only for a moment before continuing their respective celebrations and introspections. Rockets get one over their former coach Andy Flower, who has now lost his first two matches with London Spirit...

Overton to Overton, 2 runs, And Rockets have won it! Dug in short, clipped via an under-edge pull around the corner... in between deep fine and deep backward square and Craig races through the striker's end stumps and celebrates wildly. Rockets take the victory by four wickets with two balls to spare...

2 to get, 3 balls remaining... Overton v Overton...

Overton to Overton, SIX, Dug in... top edge for six over fine leg! Holy moly...

10 needed off 5, Craig Overton on strike... Jamie Overton to bowl! A reminder what Craig did in the Blast quarter-final a couple of weeks back...

Tye to Overton, 2 runs, Great yorker, dug out... and Overton makes it two with no one in the ring at midwicket!

And there's an extra fielder in the circle as Spirit haven't made the cut off time

Tye to Overton, 2 runs, On the pads, tickled around the corner and deep fine closes that down, but the throw is poor and Overton is back for two

Tye to Santner, 1 run, Yorker, on the toes as Santner retreats towards square leg, dabs down to long on but just for one as COverton sends his partner back
18.1

Tye to Santner, FOUR, Pulled through midwicket! Short, sits up, not a great delivery and punished!

Milne to Gregory, OUT, Gregory gets hold of that length ball... but to Coles at deep midwicket! Not quite out of the screws, not enough to clear the longest side of the boundary

L Gregory c Coles b Milne 1 (3m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

17.4

Gregory the new batter

Milne to Billings, OUT, Slapped... straight to deep point! Milne with the set-up, short and wide, nailed by Billings but right to Brevis!

2
Zampa to Billings, 2 runs, Again wide of off stump, top edge sweep... and somehow out of the reach of the two fielders in that region. Tye eventually claims it after it lands, skidding a few feet from the sponge. A tidy set of 5 for Rockets...
16.4
2
Zampa to Billings, 2 runs, Full outside off, Billings sweeps out to deep midwicket, springs back for the second.... he's got the dive in but is that in vain?? What a dive... just gets in shot as Bairstow takes the gloves
16.3
6
Zampa to Billings, SIX, That's more like it! Full on middle, Billings gets low and sweeps that on the way over deep backward square! Cracking strike
16.2
0
Zampa to Billings, no run, Fuller, outside off, Billing aims to do it again but gets in a tangle and almost takes that onto his own stumps! Could have swept that conventionally but wanted to go for the reverse
16.1
6
Zampa to Billings, SIX, Much-needed! What a strike from Billings, reverse-sweeping over cover for six! Serious shot...

Zampa into the attack with 43 needed from 20. Billings on strike

Overton to Billings, 1 run, Dug in again, hard length working for Overton, just a single out to deep square
15.4

Overton to Billings, FOUR, Through Barstow's gloves! Billings ramps but is undone by the pace and Bairstow has his gloves in the right place but it goes right through them and away for four. Bairstow says he just didn't pick it up
15.3
2lb
Overton to Billings, 2 leg byes, On the hip, quick, Billings flips that over to fine leg, not all the way, but is quick enough to come back for two

Santner the new batter, 51 needed from 24
