full just outside off, Wood slaps hard and finds mid-off!. That will do for Lancashire, another catch in the ring, a mistimed drive, chipped straight to the fielder and the Red Rose captain has taken the winnings catch
Lancashire vs Hampshire, 2nd Semi-Final at Birmingham, Aug 23 2014 - Match Result
Well quite a turn up for books there, Hampshire, the T20 kings, have been hammered and lose a second consecutive semi-final. They didn't get the best result from the D/L calculation but this chase has been very poor indeed with only Jimmy Adams getting himself going. Lancashire did well to recover from their disastrous start with the bat and it's been a very good defence, especially their fielding. Warwickshire v Lancashire is the final, coming up in about half an hour, so a quick turnaround again, stay with us for part three of Finals Day...
Jordan Clark into the attack for some reason with the opposition nine down and two overs to go...
short ball, Wood stepped to leg and awkwardly pulled out to deep square
slower, 75mph, on the stumps, Adams aiming leg side swings into the long boundary but doesn't get enough of it and picks out deep midwicket. Adams has played nicely but it's been only him contributing, he eventually holes out, easy catch in the deep
short and pulled off a bottom edge to the left of the keeper for a run
full on the stumps, an attractive straight drive for two inside long-off
DT: "At this point the only thing that you want as a Hants fan is for the pain to stop."
full on leg stump, Adams stepped across his stumps and nearly flicked it past short long leg, Kabir saved it well going to his left
short ball, Wood goes to pull and misses, it bounces twice before Buttler and bobbles away for a bye
Three overs and 48 to get, Anderson returns...
lovely touch, a full ball a foot wide of off stump, Adams opens the face and steers this fine of third man, lovely touch, fifty for Adams, it's been a lone hand, you have to feel sorry for him really
another wide full ball, Wood nudges this towards cover and they take a quick single
full and wide again, this is driven to point, no run available there
full and wide of off stump, Dawson reaches way out for it and nicks to Buttler. Thin edge, a simple catch for Buttler and Lancashire move a step closer to the final
nails another drive but this time straight to the cover sweeper for just a single
full and wide of off stump, Adams reaches for it and squirts it wide of third man, good start to the over
A better over, but it's now 14.5 an over needed...
steps across the stumps and paddles leg side, gets it just past short long leg's dive
clears the front leg and swings leg side, gets it between the two deep fielders, the ball plugs and they get back for a second
middle and off line, Adams stays leg side of it and chops down to third man
off stump line, slapped to mid-off, they take on the fielder
length ball on off stump, Wheater is sort of aiming leg side but just chips a catch to midwicket. Another very soft dismissal and Hampshire are sinking fast. No kind of desirable connection and it floated straight to the Lancs skipper
full on off stump firmly driven...not past mid-off who slides and saves
Kabir back at the City End...
Five overs to go and Hampshire are getting no closer in real terms...
driveable length, only a single again, to long-off this time
