WATCH: Luke Wood foxes Andre Russell with brilliant slower ball

Trent Rockets stormed to third in the table after they beat London Spirit by 22 runs on Wednesday. The highlight of the game was when left-arm fast bowler Luke Wood got the huge wicket of Andre Russell to earn his team the win. 

The incident occurred in the 62nd ball of the chase as Andre Russell was batting on 23. Luke Wood bowled a well-disguised slower ball to outfox the burly West Indian star and saw the stumps being disturbed. 

A massive moment for Trent Rockets! 🙌

It was a huge moment in the game as the visiting side needed 66 more runs from 38 balls. With Andre Russell in the middle, the London side were fancying their chances of a win. Russell had already one four and two sixes during his knock of 23 before he was done in by Luke Wood. 

Alex Hales and Rashid Khan lead Trent Rockets to a huge win

Wicketkeeper Tom Banton and local hero and former England star Alex Hales combined forces to add 69 runs for the 2nd wicket off just 42 balls. Liam Dawson got the wicket of Banton as he had the batter caught by Russell for 36 runs off 25 balls. 

England batting star Joe Root then came in and started to attack the bowlers right from the word go. Alex Hales was out for 68 runs from 42 balls with 3 hits to the fence and five huge sixes.
