9.24pm: That's your lot for tonight. Just the eight(!) Hundred games over the weekend... We will, of course, bring you every ball, ball-by-ball, so join us bright and early tomorrow for the Phoenix women against the Fire.
Sam Billings is on Sky. "We set the tone brilliantly with the ball. It's always difficult when you're coming away... Finn Allen showed his class, effortless power, a sensational knock. [Clicked?] There's more to come. Our best player [Tim David] hasn't quite got going, he's arguably one of the best in the world. It's a great place to be that other guys are taking the mantle on. Ben Duckett missed out today. Everyone is chipping in at different times. [Allen?] He's a great guy. He's liking his golf at the moment and hits a cricket ball like a golf ball... At the start of his innings, he's played really good cricketing shots, and off the back foot is where he puts bowlers under pressure. Brilliant player to watch from the other end. [Own innings?] Terrible shot to get out! Certainly in this format, it's so key to get those partnerships going. He was brilliant tonight, to score at 200+ on a wicket like that. [Overton?] He's got the nickname 'Beefy' at the moment! Great guy, done it with the new ball consistently. Some key wickets today, you've got to be brave with your fields against a quality top order. [Sunday vs Sunrisers?] They had a brilliant win the other day, Mitch Marsh smacked it. Another good team. That's the brilliant thing this year, you have to be right on it. Everyone's beating everyone. Three games in five days, if we can get three wins, it really puts us in a nice position. [Sixth bowling option?] I like having it, it's so tough to go in with five bowlers. Calvin [Harrison] has been exceptional but wasn't required [as much] today."
Finn Allen is player of the match. "It was tough to start... tried to have a strong foundation to start with. [Back at the Hundred?] The first game was a shock to the system. [Cramp?] Both my calf and hammy were going! Old age... All good, thank you. [Away wins?] We're pretty happy with how we've gone on the road, back home on Sunday. It's just about adapting to the surface. We're on a used one at Trent Bridge again so we'll have to assess quickly and hopefully carry on our momentum."
9.13pm: The Rockets started with a high-scoring defeat at Edgbaston but have won three in a row since and go top of the table with this victory. Set up by Craig Overton with the ball, taking three early wickets to keep the Super Giants down to 137, and Finn Allen finished the job with a clinical innings in the run chase. He had half a chance from Dawson at deep midwicket early in his innings and never really looked back. Off-night for the Super Giants, who were short with the bat and off-colour with the ball. Could they look at bringing in Paul Walter for Leus du Plooy or Tom Moores to give them a sixth bowling option?
11,025 in at Old Trafford tonight.
Baker returns for his final over, but the game is already lost. Should probably have come back sooner.
