And that will do it Warwickshire are in the final with a very nice performance, scored plenty and then defended this total pretty well once the Powerplay was done. Jason Roy gave the hosts a chance with a blazing start but there was little else for Surrey who fail at Finals Day again. Warwickshire will be back at 7pm, as will we, but first the second semi-final between Hampshire and Lancashire, flick over where Monty has begun the live commentary...



19.6
1
Woakes to Batty, 1 run

length on off stump, swung off an inside edge to short long leg

19.5
W
Woakes to Peterson, OUT

full on the stumps, Peterson steps to leg aiming towards the off side, misses completely and out goes off stump. A brief flurry from Peterson but too little too late. Woakes holds his nerve full and straight and another one goes

Robin Peterson b Woakes 21 (8b 2x4 2x6 12m) SR: 262.5
19.4
4
Woakes to Peterson, FOUR runs

four more, almost swings himself off his feet and gets a thick inside edge very fine past the keeper

19.3
4
Woakes to Peterson, FOUR runs

low full toss, Peterson turns around to paddle sweep and steers it very fine, a great shot

19.2
1
Woakes to Ansari, 1 run

full outside off, driven out to long-off, that'll do it for the Bears

19.1
4
Woakes to Ansari, FOUR runs

full length on off stump, a nice punch down the ground gets fours inside long-on, just inside the rope that bounced

Woakes with 31 to defend from this last over, second semi-final coming up straight after this by the way...

6
Hannon-Dalby to Peterson, SIX runs

swung down the ground again as the bowler just misses his length again, Peterson flies it over long-off again to keep Surrey alive

18.5
Hannon-Dalby to Peterson, no run

swing and a miss to a full ball just outside off, appeal for caught behind, not out given, bat hitting ground was the noise I reckon

18.4
1
Hannon-Dalby to Ansari, 1 run

another yorker just outside off, forced to backward point only for one

18.3
1
Hannon-Dalby to Peterson, 1 run

gets the yorker just right now and Peterson can only dig it out down to long-on

18.2
6
Hannon-Dalby to Peterson, SIX runs

just misses the yorker and Peterson swings through the line and clears long-off, lovely strike

18.1
1
Hannon-Dalby to Ansari, 1 run

yorker just outside off, slapped only to mid-off

Miracles needed now for Surrey, just 12 balls to go. Hannon-Dalby has been excellent...

17.6
Woakes to Peterson, no run

excellent yorker, dug out back to the bowler

Rain seems to have blown away...

17.5
1
Woakes to Ansari, 1 run

length on the stumps, blocked into the covers for an easy single

17.5
1w
Woakes to Ansari, 1 wide

full ball slips down the leg side, head of steam here from Woakes, that was 86mph

17.4
Woakes to Ansari, no run

length ball slides across the left-hander, Peterson tries to uppercut and misses

Hopefully we can get it done before the rain takes hold, it's pretty steady but would be awful to go off now...

17.3
W
Woakes to Mahmood, OUT

Mahmood steps across his stumps aiming leg side, misses and is bowled leg stump. Woakes nails his yorker and Mahmood missed is completely, the innings falling away here

Azhar Mahmood b Woakes 16 (11b 2x4 0x6 19m) SR: 145.45
17.2
1W
Woakes to Mahmood, 1 run, OUT

yorker dug out down the ground, long-on charges in as the batsman try to come back for two, is O'Brien short here? You would have thought the throw was going to go to Mahmood's end but Porterfield went for the non-striker's end and O'Brien who was quite leisurely is short of his ground

Kevin O'Brien run out (Porterfield) 11 (13b 1x4 0x6 23m) SR: 84.61
17.2
1w
Woakes to Mahmood, 1 wide

length ball wide of off stump, too wide

Rain falling...

17.1
1
Woakes to K O'Brien, 1 run

length outside off, slapped to cover on the edge of the circle

Woakes is back with plenty to defend, avoid a huge over and the Bears will be fine here...
