Men's Hundred Qualifier Highlights: Trent Rockets Take Lead After Rout Of Northern Superchargers
The Trent Rockets have progressed to Sunday's men's Hundred final against the Oval Invincibles at Lord's after a turbulent qualifying match against the Northern Superchargers at Kia Oval on Saturday night ended in disaster.
The Rockets made progress, finishing second in the league ahead of the third-place Superchargers.
The Superchargers went 119-5 in 75 pitches despite two rain delays, and the third downpour came just as the Rockets began a revised 134-pitch chase in 75 pitches, with Superchargers punter Jacob Duffy starting the outfield.
The Rockets' request was changed from 55 to 105, but the rain returned after only five of them at 12-0 – Tom Banton was six not out and Joe Root was not out – and play was not resumed until 9.58pm, when the 25-ball chase ended.

Rockets reach the finish line, but rain will have the final say
The Superchargers' game, started 20 minutes later than scheduled due to rain, was eventful, with Willey (2-22) taking the third ball off Zak Crawley, hitting the first pitch straight into the batsman's ribs and the second just wide of his outside edge.

Harry Brooke made his four-ball roll but was then run out by Marcus Stoinis two balls later in the men's qualifier at Kia Oval.
Dan Lawrence (44 off 31) and Dawid Malan (29 off 19) were bowled by Marcus Stoinis (2-28) off their delivery, but the Australian all-rounder took two off Harry Brooke (6) after the Superchargers captain had hit four off the falling scoop.
Malan, who had Crowley as a runner after he suffered an injury that subsequently kept him out, became Willie's second victim when he rolled to a deep down at the end of a good spell for the left-armer.

Watch David Miller smash Rehan Ahmed for three big sixes
After an initial rain spell that lasted just under an hour, with the Superchargers reaching 76-3 off 50, off-spinner Rehan Ahmed (1-22) bowled Graeme Clarke (1) first ball back but then David Miller (28 off 10) made him hit three sixes off the spin in five balls before Miller was castled by Stoinis.
Rain ultimately ended the Superchargers' hopes of a trophy double on Sunday after Headingley Women's had reached the final thanks largely to Davina Perrin's stunning 42 against London Spirit.
