BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB

11.4 to TB Abell, pace off, Abell gives himself room and can't connect as Curran pings his leg stump! Cunning bowling, and another dent in Somerset's hopes. Back of the hand that time, and he was too quickly through his swish. 86/4
302618.6692200
6.3 to T Banton, Makes room to leg, Atkinson follows him with a pitch-battering length, and Surrey review once more! Yep, once again, there's a spike on that, as Banton opens the face and wafts an attempted steer, and Somerset lose their second opener!. 55/2
403308.2572111
402345.75113000
4.2 to WCF Smeed, pace and bounce outside off, and we've got a review for caught behind! Flat-footed on the drive from Smeed, and yes, there's a thin snick as the ball climbs into the edge! Abbott was convinced he'd heard something... he was right!. 38/1
9.3 to T Kohler-Cadmore, Wild hack off the full length, a big leading edge out to deep point, Evans tracks back, judges it well over his shoulder and makes it look easy. Priceless wicket and reward for a good period of pressure from Surrey. 73/3
15.1 to BGF Green, flat-foot swish, high into the off side, Abbott calls and chases in his followthrough, snaffles the chance three metres from the popping crease. Somerset's slide continues. 115/6
15.5 to C Overton, hard hands on a push outside off, and plucked in the gully! That's a proper dismissal, extra oomph from Abbott, hitting the pitch and confounding Overton's push. T Curran leaps to his left, and grabs in both hands! Abbott is having quite a day. 123/7
402616.5072000
14.1 to L Gregory, wondergrab from Smith! A violent swipe at the off-stump line, a genuine flying nick, the type of shot that is impossible to set a field for... but the keeper flings himself one-handed, embeds it in his webbing, and that's a huge moment. 108/5

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
402436.00132100
0.4 to LJ Evans, Timber! Bit of seam from Overton and Evans is late to react as the ball nips in through bat and pad into the stumps!. 5/1
4.5 to WG Jacks, Somerset up and about! Gregory keeps Overton on to prise another out, and he does just that! Jacks tries to make the most of the final few Power Play deliveries, but fails to clear square leg. Will Smeed settles underneath and takes the catch a foot in from the sponge. 24/3
13.5 to CJ Jordan, Craig gets his revenge! Jordan goes for a carbon-copy of that six to start the over. This time, he's not quite got his timing right. Smeed steadies himself at deep square leg and takes the catch. 95/7
3.501934.95112000
3.3 to JJ Roy, Big wicket! Roy is squared up and skews the ball high towards the leg side. The wind is swirling, but Dickson is focussed and takes an excellent catch after charging in from fence. 20/2
14.5 to TK Curran, Curran goes! Yet another dim shot. Curran is not the first person to try and fail to find that boundary away to the long side, particularly with the wind against you. Tom Abell skips in to take the catch. 103/8
16.5 to SA Abbott, Somerset have won! Abbott smashes flat to the leg side and Smeed takes his third catch in the deep! Surrey will wonder if they have thrown that away, particularly given the nature of some of their dismissals. But the form team of the Blast win out and will face Essex later today in their sixth T20 final appearance.. 118/10
201809.0041100
403117.7562100
10.3 to J Overton, So much for brotherly love... Jamie is caught by his twin! This time, the Surrey man tries to go straighter but can only find Craig lurking back at long on. 68/6
302538.3364000
7.1 to SM Curran, Make that 28! Sam Curran drives down the ground, but on the move and straight to Matt Henry at mid on! Surrey are in all sorts of trouble. 38/4
9.2 to JL Smith, Green has another one! Smith tries to manufacture, well, length - the delivery is not full but the keeper-batter tries to get under it to strike down the ground. Almost does not reach Overton back on the fence, but he charges in from long on and slides to complete the dismissal. 57/5
15.2 to CT Steel, Gone! It needed a review, but Green has his third of the innings. Steel has a go at a wide delivery after Green corrects his line and snicks through to Banton. 108/9
