Leics vs Somerset, Final at Birmingham, , Aug 27 2011 - Match Result

10.15pm And with that, the Champions are crowned! Hoggard lifts the trophy, and is instantly drowned in champagne! What a remarkable day. That's enough for me, Andrew Miller. From my co-commentator Andrew McGlashan, and our two guys at the ground, Liam Brickhill and Sahil Dutta, it's goodnight.

10.05pm The Somerset team troops up to accept its runners-up medals ... again. "It's pretty sickening really," says Marcus Trescothick. "When we cross the line we'll have some major celebrations. We keep put ourselves in this position... On a good pitch we'd have been confident of chasing that down, but we kept losing wickets at vital moments."

Josh Cobb is the Man of the Match for his 18 from ten balls, 4 for 22, and a lightning-fast run-out. He was out to the first ball of the day as well! "It's what young cricketers dream of, and it's been an amazing day. It's a massive day for the club, cash-wise, and we all get a trip to India as well!"

Matthew Hoggard: "We've had a fair-to-average season in the other two competitions, but in this one we've gone from strength to strength," he says, adding that Paul Nixon has proved there's a lot of life in the old dog ...

10pm They are just getting the stage ready for the presentations ... and what a night of celebration lies ahead for Leicestershire. No-one gave them a prayer going into today, but on a worn track that had been soaked by rain and dried by late sun, their spin brigade was just too canny for Somerset's big hitters, who are perhaps too used to the true decks of Taunton. No sixes, and not a single boundary in the last six overs...

Paul Nixon's exceptional catch to remove Kieron Pollard was unquestionably the moment of the match, and the day. A great day for Matthew Hoggard, the captain, as well. His ship has run aground in the Championship, but this is more than just a life-raft, especially with the prospect of a trip to the Champions League.

Poor Marcus Trescothick looks crestfallen.. again. Three finals in three years, and three defeats. And a CB40 final defeat, and a Championship runners-up last summer ...

"I'm going to have a sore head tomorrow," says Paul Nixon. "I'm speechless..."

Matt Boyce, the super-sub, denounces his four catches as "regulation", which is taking modesty to a new level. Will Jefferson says he wouldn't have wanted to be near any of them ...

Trouble for Razzaq, who has taken off his right boot, and is limping off the field! Wow ... it's going to be McDonald, but it's surely all over

How often has a substitute been Man of the Match in a final? Or in any match? He's got to be a candidate!

40 runs in three overs ... Somerset managed exactly that in the Powerplay against Hampshire. But it was a different scenario then
