full on the stumps, slapped to mid-off who dives, they take a sharp single and that's it
NOTTS vs Hampshire, 4th Quarter-Final at Nottingham, Aug 03 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Hampshire won by 5 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)
What a chase from Hampshire they have won by five wickets and qualify for their fifth consecutive Finals Day. James Vince has been absolutely superb and led his side home to a memorable to victory. He's the Man of the Match for sure. Thanks for joining me, see you Thursday for the Test match...
Scores tied...
full angled in, Coles tries a slog sweep and misses, Read can't take it and it's away for four byes
low full toss, dug out to extra cover
another low full toss and chipped to midwicket. Smith couldn't lift this over the infield but after initially struggling he's ensured his side will get home here with a couple of boundaries. No reaction from Notts for the wicket
a touch wider line and Smith goes over extra cover, not the best timing but that's the short boundary out there
Hampshire within sight of victory now...
low full toss, Smith down the wicket and slaps it down the ground, not the best timing but with mid-off up this skips away to the fence
Shahzad spoils his over with a low full toss and against Vince perfectly set he can hit it anywhere and gets it wide of long-on
slower ball, Smith cuts to extra cover and just runs desperate to get off strike, they get home easily
full just outside off and now Smith feeling the pressure tries to swing down the ground and misses completely
Smith steps across the off side this time, it slips down leg, it's not a wide but it's high, how many high full tosses have we had?
he steps to leg now and tries to force away on the off side, finds backward point
low full toss, Smith can only pat it back to the bowler
length on off stump, tucked to midwicket, Notts need a few dots here just to build a little pressure
Shahzad returns...
low full toss on the stumps, Ervine slaps it down the ground but finds long-on poor ball but it gets a wicket, Ervine whacking this straight to the fielder who holds the easy catch and throws the ball into the ground in frustration, a lifeline for Notts?
gives himself a little room and swings high and handsome over deep cover, a glorious strike and it sails back
goes for the paddle sweep to leg, doesn't get all of it and short long leg dives to his right and makes the save, vital work
but now a full toss, Vince steps to leg and carves it backward of point, third man up so finds the rope, a career-best T20 score now from Vince
down the wicket, looks to flick to leg, gets struck on the pad and it runs back to the bowler, another dot
excellent yorker just outside off, dug out back to the bowler
Fletcher back and Notts need their cult hero to do something special here...
Should be straightforward for Hampshire from here...
in the slot to slog sweep, not quite timed but enough bat to get deep square scrambling, he does well and saves four with a dive
