Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave, 3rd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all from the first game. But don't go too far as there's another one coming up in just over 30 mins. Switch tabs and catch all the action. See you around..

James Vince | Losing captain: Right from the start (things went wrong). Our performance wasn't ideal but the occasion itself was enjoyable. We will improve quickly and come back in the next game. We didn't get going in the batting department, not enough partnerships and credit to their bowlers. We lacked to get any momentum going and we knew we were under par at the halfway mark. It needs a bit of time to get used to the format, the timing aspect is going to be tough especially when things are not going your way. All in all lots of areas to improve.

Lewis Gregory | Winning captain: It was a pretty nice way to start the competition. I thought we were good with the ball and kept them down to a below par total and then to see Malan spend some time out in the middle with D'Arcy, they took us over the line. The lads are fantastic. Lot of experience around and it helps having the England Test captain. He (de Lange) has bowled well for Somerset and he has replicated that tonight. It does feel a little bit of rush at times, when you want to think and slow things down, you can't do that, we have some spinners and that helps us to rush through the overs. When things are going well it is not a bad ploy to squeeze in some balls from the spinners, Root bowled well and it is one of them (plans) that gives us momentum during the middle phase. We will try and use the guys and the system which is best for us here and away from home.

Marchant de Lange | Player of the Match - Really delighted, I must say, unexpected, but really happy. Always good to take a wicket with your first ball. I just felt the surface was good, a little bit of bounce, that was good for me as a fast bowler. It was a bit strange, new tournament, but I just needed to adapt and stick to the basics. Hopefully, we can carry this form through.

17:07 Local Time, 16:07 GMT, 21:37 IST: A comprehensive victory for Trent Rockets. Set up by the bowlers, especially Marchant de Lange, and sealed by the two left handers - D'Arcy Short and Dawid Malan. Hales went for nought but that was the only success Southern Brave had through the innings. Mills and Garton bowled quick and troubled the two southpaws at the start, but they were not penetrative enough to break the partnership. Once they settled in, the pair started to bat more freely and added a 100+ stand, whilst also getting to their respective milestones. Early on, de Lange blew the Brave away with a 5-fer and was well supported by the rest of the bowlers. 126 was never enough and that proved right as the Rockets cruised to a 9-wicket win. Hang around for the presentations..
