length on off stump, swung off an inside edge to short long leg
Warwickshire vs Surrey, 1st Semi-Final at Birmingham, Aug 23 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
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...
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
four more, almost swings himself off his feet and gets a thick inside edge very fine past the keeper
low full toss, Peterson turns around to paddle sweep and steers it very fine, a great shot
full outside off, driven out to long-off, that'll do it for the Bears
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...
swung down the ground again as the bowler just misses his length again, Peterson flies it over long-off again to keep Surrey alive
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
another yorker just outside off, forced to backward point only for one
gets the yorker just right now and Peterson can only dig it out down to long-on
just misses the yorker and Peterson swings through the line and clears long-off, lovely strike
yorker just outside off, slapped only to mid-off
Miracles needed now for Surrey, just 12 balls to go. Hannon-Dalby has been excellent...
excellent yorker, dug out back to the bowler
Rain seems to have blown away...
length on the stumps, blocked into the covers for an easy single
full ball slips down the leg side, head of steam here from Woakes, that was 86mph
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...
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
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
length ball wide of off stump, too wide
Rain falling...
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...
