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...

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

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...

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
