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, 2 runs, Wide, length, open-face cut out to backward point... and just cut off. Comfortable two

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 Overton, SIX, Six over wide long on! Stunning strike from Craig Overton! Length from Tye, given the treatment
