- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 touch short, Stoneman pulls... and Azharullah plucks it out of the air above his head! Think it just came off the toe of the bat, looped up and the bowler only had to hop and stretch to grab the ball 16/118.1 they'll be no Finals Day hundred...Jennings aiming to clear the leg side, picks up a length delivery but can't clear deep square this time 140/74.2 short ball, swivels to pull - but sends it down the throat of deep square leg! Stokes can only laugh ruefully, he's picked out the one fielder on the fence, another really good catch by Keogh and he's sent the dangerman on his way once again 34/26.3 full outside off, Richardson plays and misses... no, he plays and nicks, according to the umpire! Richardson's reaction suggests he thinks he didn't hit it but Neil Mallender's opinion is all that matters here. Possibly was the sound of bat hitting the ground 43/37.3 reverse-sweeps, down to third man, they try to push for three... but Burnham is struggling here, he's going to be run out! They go up to the third umpire but it's pretty clear cut, Rossington collecting by his toes in front the stumps and he had time to swing his right arm round and break the wicket 49/412.3 finds deep square leg...Collingwood heaved at a shorter delivery, got it reasonably well but didn't quite have the distance and Crook stationed himself right on the edge to swallow the catch 89/514.4 what a catch! Cobb at extra cover, he's pulled off a blinder. Pringle giving himself some room to open up the off side, throws his hands through a back-of-a-length delivery and Cobb flings himself to his left. Super grab 104/618.5 and he's gone this time, short again, Borthwick heaving to the leg side and gets a top edge to the keeper. The end of a painful stay 144/8Extras10 (lb 4, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL153/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Did not bat: C RushworthFall of wickets: 1-16 (Mark Stoneman, 2.2 ov), 2-34 (Ben Stokes, 4.2 ov), 3-43 (Michael Richardson, 6.3 ov), 4-49 (Jack Burnham, 7.3 ov), 5-89 (Paul Collingwood, 12.3 ov), 6-104 (Ryan Pringle, 14.4 ov), 7-140 (Keaton Jennings, 18.1 ov), 8-144 (Scott Borthwick, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 edged, wide of second slip, Stokes dives and gets a hand on it... and then Borthwick throws down the stumps! Two in two, Levi is inches short and Durham have landed a couple of haymakers in the second over! 4/21.1 nicked to slip, Wood strikes first ball! Quick as flash in the channel, bit of extra bounce and it flies off the edge, Borthwick's eyes are like saucers as he holds on in front of his face! This has got 'Wood's Finals Day' written all over it 4/117.5 caught behind! He heaves at a short delivery and gets a thick top edge to the keeper. Almost lost control of the bat He deserved to be there at the end 148/52.2 pinned in front, Rushworth nips out the dangerous Duckett! Completely different proposition to Wood and Duckett is duped, stuck on the crease and hit on the back leg, that would have shaken leg stump. Durham's bowlers are amongst 'em 9/314.5 direct hit! Back to the third umpire. The ball takes the pad, he sets off for a single, is set back, Arshad runs through, picks up and hits direct with an underarm flick. He's gone! 129/418.3 this time it will be a run out! Collingwood pings in the throw from over, and the bat bounces up as it crosses the line so that's six down.
