Trent Rockets vs Oval Invincibles, 31st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That ends things then. Just one game left in the group stage and that will determine who goes directly to the final. For now the Invincibles have the advantage with a better NRR but Phoenix can win and usurp them. We will be there for that big game tomorrow. Do join us then. Until then, take care, be well and sleep tight. Bye for now.

Lewis Gregory | Rockets' captain: Nice way to finish, frustrating campaign, games we felt we had to win and that's why unfortunately we are out of the competition. [on Oval] They are a very good team, standout?team this year and even the last, nice feeling to finish with a win. [on Powell] Massive power. We haven't seen the best of him, the man can hit some monsters, it's pretty special to watch. It's a balance, you want him to be in these situations and also face as many balls as he can, it's tricky?in a short format. The frustrating?thing for me is?we?have been brilliant right through and we have had a couple of injuries in Rash and Hainy. Alsop has been brilliant?the last couple of games, left-hander with a short boundary here at Trent Bridge. Also Hales and Banton's form. We have a lot of good things going for us. [on plans and preparation for next season] Little bit of downtime, there will be reflection, any decisions will start from November-December time?and we will try to pick some holes and fill with some special?players from?the county game. The franchise world does not have many free?players who are big. There will be some areas we will look to strengthen. We had three games we lost which probably we should have won. That ultimately has cost us in the competition. With the ball we have been fantastic. 10 off 10 against Birmingham, 65 off 55 against?Fire and those couple of games?we should have won.

Sam Billings | Invincibles' captain: Credit where credit is due, Tom Alsop came and injected pace into the game, they played really well. [on Powell] Those West Indian boys, if they half hit it... if we hit it, it goes to the 30-yard circle, he showed his quality but unfortunately against us. I will be honest, I did not think we played too badly, huge amount of positives to take from, Malan having time in the middle and Will Jacks hitting the ball sweetly, going into the final, two quality players at the top of the order when it's the hardest time to bat, and Sam Curran did not even bat. [on Johnson being available for the next games] He is made of tough stuff, we will wait and see. We did really well, I thought, it played a lot better under lights, I was happy with the score, one or two moments as a captain in hindsight could have changed. Ferreira did what he does consistently at the back end and one defeat does not change our tournament. It's all about adapting to conditions, Oval has played a lot different to Lord's. Tom Curran is rested and he will come back in. [on Trent Rockets] They are a very good side, their season could have been very different.

Rovman Powell | Match Hero: It's nice to finally get a few off the middle, helping my team win a game. Tough season for all of us. Good to put out some entertainment for our fans. I'm still a long way behind Pooran who struck 113 meters (talking about his 101 meter six). I'm sure he'll give me some stick. Batting at five, you have to control the innings. Fortunately for me tonight, it went well.

21:12 Local Time, 20:12 GMT, 01:42 IST: The Rockets end their season on a high. Also keep the Invincibles waiting for that direct final entry. The chase was a good one as Hales at the top played well. He attacked during the powerplay and then Alsop and Powell took over. Alsop was in good form, continuing from the last game's efforts. He struck Zampa for consecutive sixes and the Aussie went wicketless (for the first time this season) which was a big factor tonight. Powell struggled against Sam Curran's slower ball cutters but got the big hits otherwise. Powerful blows that went a long way. Curran was taken off after two beamers and Alsop finished it off with 6 balls to spare. The Invincibles could still finish first and go into the final but it all depends on Phoenix's game tomorrow. Stay tuned to find out who the Match Hero is...

Saqib Mahmood to Alsop, FOUR, Alsop finishes it off. Full outside off, he lofts and it's in the air, a flat hit, Sam Curran dives to his right but the ball skips past the outstretched hands. Goes away to the fence

Sam Curran has a chat with Saqib Mahmood.

Saqib Mahmood to Chris Green, 1 run, full outside the leg-stump, flicked to deep mid-wicket and Lammonby keeps it to one

Saqib Mahmood to Chris Green, 2 runs, back of a length on off, pulled wide of Zampa at mid-wicket and deep mid-wicket can't cut off the 2nd

Saqib Mahmood to Alsop, 1 run, full outside off, Alsop shuffles across to drive hard and straight to long-on

Another free-hit. No change still to the field.

Saqib Mahmood to Alsop, wide, the free-hit stays. Full and well wide outside off, Alsop reaches for it to drive, misses, wide

Now a free-hit and another bowler. Rockets are almost home now. 9 off 10. Saqib it will be as Billings has a chat. Three back on the leg-side fence. Short fine-leg in. Two back on the off-side fence. They are taking their time to bowl this. And Invincibles are past the cut-off time of 9:04. Since it's a free-hit you can't change the field, so a blessing in disguise for Oval as the field remains the same.

Sam Curran to Alsop, no ball, FOUR, second beamer and Sam Curran is off. He can't bowl anymore. A beamer outside off, Alsop slogs and the thick outside-edge flies wide of Billings

Chris Green, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Sam Curran to continue for another 5.

Sam Curran to Powell, out Caught by Ferreira!! Powell has chipped this to long-on and is furious with himself. Smashes the bat into the pad as he walks off. Full on the stumps, he did not go full-hog on the loft, finds long-on. Sam Curran punches the air as he mouths "yes" couple of times. He is pumped. Another twist? Powell c Ferreira b Sam Curran 45(27) [4s-2 6s-4]

Sam Curran to Powell, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Sam Curran to Powell, SIX, and double-whammy for the Invincibles. An off-pace length delivery outside off, Powell has massacred this over deep mid-wicket, sends the pull 101m, what hitting, what power

Sam Curran to Alsop, leg byes, 1 run, big shout for LBW, turned down. Sam Curran thinks it's out, Billings is not. They have a chat and don't go for it. Length delivery angling into leg-stump, Alsop heaves and misses, off the back thigh and going down. Hang on - HawkEye has that as crashing into leg-stump. Uh-oh
