Wasn't quite a gripping game, but credit to the Rockets for making it look simple. All eight teams have played their first game of the season. Action shifts to Cardiff tomorrow for Welsh Fire v Oval Invincibles. Join us at 14:00 local time for the action. Goodnight! Alex Hales, Player of the Match: The pitch was on the slower side. Munro was playing well, so I gave him the strike initially and took my time to get set. The pitch was on the tricky side and the ground had small boundaries so it was difficult to defend. The crowd was fantastic, nice to see their happy faces. We got off to a great start with a couple of boundaries by Malan. It's brilliant to have Root around. He scored boundaries and kept rotating the strike. Lewis Gregory | Trent Rockets captain : Brilliant performance from the team. Samit is always in your ear wanting to get the ball (smiles). We wanted to keep him away from Moeen. When he (Samit) got going he was outstanding. Wherever Hales goes he scores runs and wins games. This is a great competition, great to see full houses. Fans have been great, long may this continue. Root is gold! Whatever format, colour of the ball, he scores runs. We have got a brilliant bunch of lads. We are off to Leeds on Tuesday, looking forward to playing again. 17:00 Local Time, 16:00 GMT, 21:30 IST: Trent Rockets are off to a winning start this season. The target wasn't big, so they paced their chase so well to set a solid base and then go for the kill at the end. Birmingham did get Malan early, but Hales and Munro held fort with the latter being the aggressor in the powerplay. Hales teed off towards the end and got his fifty. Joe Root just did his usual thing, of keeping the scoreboard ticking. In the end, a commanding, easy win for the Trent Rockets. 97 Helm to Gregory, FOUR , slower delivery and thumped down the ground past the non-striker and they don't bother running. Home crowd in loud cheer as their captain pumps his fist for getting a clinical win 96 Helm to Root, leg byes, 1 run, full and angling in, Root misses the flick, the ball rolls to point off the pad, Gregory again steals a quick single. Scores level Mo and the bowler have a chat, Helm will continue the next set of 5 balls. 95 Helm to Gregory, 1 run, slower delivery on the leg stump, Gregory knocks it in front of short mid-wicket and steals a run 95 Helm to Gregory, wide , short of length delivery down leg, Gregory misses the glance Lewis Gregory, right handed bat, comes to the crease Four needed off six balls 94 Helm to Kohler-Cadmore, out Caught by Benjamin!!

That's some height for a caught and bowled. Helm has indeed caught a Rocket, uite literally. So this was a slower delivery dished out, Hales cleared his front leg out and went for a might swing, toe-ended that really high. So high that the bowler and mid-wicket fielder were standing there and debating about the catch. The bowler eventually goes for it and holds on. Hales walks off to a great ovation.
