Moores' magic on home turf in Rockets' victory

A BRILLIANT innings on his home county ground by Tom Moores saw Trent Rockets to a four-wicket win over Southern Brave in The Hundred men’s competition.

Moores, making his first appearance in this year's competition having only been signed as an emergency wicketkeeper replacement, hit 55 in a partnership of 76 with Tom Banton (49) as the Rockets got home with four balls to spare.

The Rockets chose to bowl first on a slow surface and struck early when James Vince (seven) was bowled by one that ran across him from David Willey.

Jason Roy and Leus du Plooy began to get to terms with the surface, Roy scooping Marcus Stoinis's first ball for four. Left-hander du Plooy then slog swept Callum Parkinson for six and smashed Lockie Ferguson for six over long-off.
