9:30pm That's all from us here. We've got a double-bill tomorrow with Sunrisers Leeds against Southern Brave and Welsh Fire against MI London in the men's and women's competition. See you then!
9:25pm Joe Clarke is the Meerkat Match Hero for 68 off 33, coming in a stand of 104 with Will Smeed, who struck 51: "We've got license at the top of the order with our strength and depth. Smeedy played unbelievably well.
[WORRIED AT ANY POINT?] "With the class that's in there line-up the game was never done. Credit to our boys, they stayed calmed, executed well.
"You need to have a strong start and the crowd were amazing tonight. We've got a couple of games away and hopefully we can come back in a good position near the end of the group stages."

Owen to Harrison, SIX, Six over the bowler's head... but it matters not! Phoenix take the spots as Rockets finish 10 short. Barring an early scare from Ben Duckett and Finn Allen, followed by Tom Banton's knock, Phoenix had this as soon as they unloaded 214 for 4 in the first innings...
