Decent score to defend - nice little cameo from HC.

Bollocks, Stubbs lame scoop and out.

Cartwright next.

Good job actually. Cartwright better than Stubbs at the moment. It seems Stubbs hasn't managed to get going in his last few innings.

[Gloucester Saint]

George Munsey gone! 5th highest scorer this competition.

Good field placement as he’s scored a lot of runs square-leg, Wood gets the length right and Stubbs pouches the catch.

Hopefully he’ll save it for the final should we get there.

Good power play, just 37 off it. Dawson on.

Notts have wickets in hand but getting behind the rate already.

Would be nice to break this partnership

Dawson slowed his pace and held it back. Fuller only two and wicket off last over.

Notts still have a chance but Hants on top. Less so after Fuller with Dawson snared Moore’s cheaply.

Boundary a ball needed now - superb over Baker.

Currie’s caught and bowled that! I was looking for a boundary down the ground.

[Gloucester Saint]

Missed his hat-trick.

[Lighthouse]

Comfortable in the end, into another final. Obviously won’t be easy but I’m happy we’re not playing Somerset again.

[Toadhall Saint]

And that should be that. 

[Toadhall Saint]

A very good performance all round. We should (I say should) know how to bowl at Mr Lynn 

[Gloucester Saint]

Win by 28 runs.

Fuller 4 wickets, Currie, Baker and Wood all bowled well, good catching.

Northants in the final.

[Toadhall Saint]

Won toss bowling first

I’d rather have given the bowlers a rest and got runs on the board but the theory might be that the ball gets harder to grip once the lights come on and harder to see high catches for fielders.

But I understand Vince’s point around bowlers possible stiffening up in the warm weather and they shouldn’t be short of confidence.

Think I would have batted first - score on the board helps build the pressure but Vince knows what he’s doing - let’s see. Got to keep Lynn quiet.

Well we’ve done that with a flake and extra sprinkles. Good start this.
