Join us for more cricket - both the CPL and the LPL are happening right now. See you and thanks for your company.

Carter is the POTM. He says he feels "nice to nail it when it matters." Says plan was to spin it with Sodhi in combination early on and later aim for the batters' boots. Also gives credit to the fielders for holding their end of the bargain up.

Trent Rockets have improved their qualification chances significantly with today's win, sliding up the points table, even though it may just be temporary. Birmingham Phoenix unfortunately are now out of contention.

Sams to Kane Richardson, OUT

full ball on middle. Goes for a slog sweep over midwicket but the shot is mistimed. Ball goes high up and Cook runs in to take a diving catch around midwicket. The umpires want to see if the catch has been completed because the ball had rolled up Cook's arm.
