Gregory c Klaasen b Tongue 33 (Rockets 139-6)
Sorry, Lewis - that one might be on me...
Josh Tongue gets rid of the dangerous right-hander with a slower ball that Gregory can only hit high into the leg side.
Heinrich Klaasen is underneath it at wide long-on and comfortably takes the catch. Eight balls left in the innings...
The last time Manchester - in their previous guise as the Originals - were in the men's final, it was Lewis Gregory who proved their downfall as Trent Rockets claimed the win in 2022.
Four years later, he's threatening to do it again.
Lewis Gregory clears the ropes again - and that one has gone very, very flat!
Whipped over square leg and the ball is never more than seven or eight feet off the ground.
Six more! That demolishes over cow corner to completely ruin Gus Atkinson's figures in the space of two balls.

Trent Rockets have scored at 2.17 runs per ball in the final 20 balls of their innings this season, the best for any side in the tournament this year.
Excellent comeback from Liam Dawson, just three more from the next four balls after that six.
There's a big appeal for lbw from the last of them but that was sliding down leg.
We've got 15 balls to go and Gus Atkinson is going to return to complete his 20 allotted deliveries.

Lewis Gregory is clearly a BBC man.
Oof!
First ball after the timeout and Lewis Gregory skips down the track and smashes Liam Dawson high over wide long-on for six.
It bounces off the top of the Sky pod and is caught - one hand, one bounce - in the crowd.
Sonny Baker has varied his pace nicely today and very nearly gets his first wicket of the final with a slower ball.
Lewis Gregory balloons the ball up and just over the mid-on fielder.
Time for a strategic timeout.

Mitch Santner goes under the radar. He can play shots. He is dangerous.
Thumped down the ground by Mitch Santer.
Excellent shot from the Kiwi left-hander to put the pressure on Sonny Baker.

What a spell of bowling from Noor Ahmad.
A touch too short from Noor Ahmad and Lewis Gregory middles it through the covers for four.
That was right out of the meat of the bat. It flew to the fence.
Four leg byes next ball as Gregory attempts to sweep. In fact, it's given as runs, he must've got a scratch on it.
Dot ball to finish and Ahmad ends with figures of 3-33, a top spell.
Liam Dawson completes his five and he now has figures of 1-17 from his first 15 balls.
Lewis Gregory and Mitch Santner are charged with trying to give the Rockets a big finish here.
Donald b Dawson 38 (Rockets 95-5)
That's the big one for the Super Giants!
Aneurin Donald advances to Liam Dawson but yorks himself in the process, hits the ball into his foot and it spins back onto the stumps.
The end of an exciting innings from Donald and the Rockets have work to do.
Josh Tongue is on for another burst and it's very tidy five. Only two singles from it as the Super Giants continue to wrestle back the momentum.

Noor Ahmad has been noticeably fuller today, his average length of 4.8m so far is nearly a metre fuller than his tournament average length before today.
Mitch Santner joins Aneurin Donald, who is unbeaten on 37 from 16 balls.
This feels like a key stage of the innings.

Tim David did not move his feet at all. He just prodded outside off stump.

Tim David for a duck! That is massive.
David c Buttler b Ahmad 0 (Rockets 91-4)
Noor Ahmad has a third and Tim David is got first ball!
Superb bowling from the wrist-spinner, getting the ball to turn away from the right-hander and draws a thin nick.
Well taken by Jos Buttler. That's a big wicket.
