Trent Rockets recover after an early batting collapse to beat Southern Brave at Trent Bridge and qualify for the final of The Hundred. Rockets lose three wickets for 10 runs at the start of their innings, but they steady their chase and go on to win, with the result confirming their place in the championship match.

Southern Brave, who enter the eliminator, are left needing other results to progress. Other outlets report that Rockets had initially suffered a defeat by Brave and were facing a nervous wait over whether they would qualify automatically for the final, highlighting the importance of the latest match in determining the knockout pathway. The coverage therefore reflects both the immediate swing in Rockets’ fortunes and the broader context of qualification permutations in the tournament.
