Full commentary

Hampshire have had a fantastic few years in this tournament, but today just came up a little short of their best. A shame for Dimitri Mascarenhas, but the Surrey tale is a good one, too, given everything they have been through. The rain is falling, but fingers crossed for the final. We'll be back at around 6.30pm to bring you all the action.

Surrey made hardwork of that chase, but in the end get home with four balls to spare. It always felt Hampshire were 10-15 runs short. The experience of de Bruyn and youthful exuberance of Ansari seal the deal. So it will be Northants v Surrey in the final

Wood to de Bruyn, 1 run

slower ball bouncer, pulled to midwicket, would have been a run out of Mascarenhas had hit direct

Those few deliveries should have broken this game

Wood to Ansari, 1 run

slower ball, 70mph, on a length and flicked calmly to deep square

Wood to Ansari, FOUR runs

he's playing a matchwinner, here, is Ansari. Gets a low full toss and drills it straight down the ground to beat long-off. A gem for Surrey

18.3
2
Wood to Ansari, 2 runs

forces this off the back foot, takes an inside through the leg side...two more

18.2

Wood to Ansari, SIX runs

fabulous shot! What a moment to bring that out. It was a full delivery on off stump and Ansari lofts it perfectly straight down the ground. A punchy-drive, well played

Wood to de Bruyn, 1 run

yorker outside off, dug out to deep cover

It's down to 18 off two overs. The bowlers to come for Surrey. Just to add to the fun, the rain is back

1
Tanvir to de Bruyn, 1 run

comes round the wicket, short of a length, chopped down to third man so he keeps the strike

Tanvir to Ansari, 1 run

back outside off stump, pushed into the off side...McKenzie can't pick it up cleanly. Tight single.

1w
Tanvir to Ansari, 1 wide

banged in very short and it's pushed down the leg side...not what you need from your overseas pro

17.4
Tanvir to Ansari, no run

uses his feet, Tanvir holds his line at off stump, it's short of a length, Ansari can't beat point

17.3
Tanvir to Ansari, no run

tight at off stump, pushed to cover

17.2
2
Tanvir to Ansari, 2 runs

places it fine of backward point and just wide enough of third man for a sharp brace...Ansari rapid between the wickets

17.1
Tanvir to Ansari, no run

that's more like it, beats the outside edge as he tries to run it to third man

Tanvir to Ansari, 1 wide

short and wide outside off, called wide...poor ball

Who's got the nerve?

1W
Wood to de Bruyn, 1 run, OUT

now there's a run out appeal! And he's gone! Hampshire are right back in this. The ball ran off a thick outside edge to point, they thought of a second but Mahmood was sent back and turned quite slowly. He stretched for the crease, and Wheater took the bails off with his forearm but had the ball in his gloves so that's okay. And Mahmood is an inch or two short

Azhar Mahmood run out (Dawson/†Wheater) 0 (0b 0x4 0x6 2m) SR: 0
16.1
W
Wood to Wilson, OUT

what a catch! McKenzie has pulled off a blinder. Wilson opted to go big, he aimed over the off side and sliced off the face over backward point. McKenzie turned and ran backwards, kept his eye on the ball and did just enough to get underneath it

Gary Wilson c McKenzie b Wood 15 (15b 1x4 0x6 22m) SR: 100

Chris Wood back for his death spell. Was a hero in Finals Day last year
