tossed up, bit of a heave from Peterson and the ball disappears through mid-off, no one there, wins it with a four - Surrey win by three wickets and will go to Finals Day for the second year running

Full commentary
5.20pm: Well, it wasn't pretty, by any means, but Surrey dug themselves out of a hole of their own making to reach the last four of the Blast. Jason Roy got them well ahead with that 20-ball half-century and Robin Peterson kept cool at the end... It's tough on Worcestershire, who have still never got further than the quarter-finals, but their total never looked like being enough. All of Surrey's bowlers chipped in, only Richard Oliver and Joe Leach made it to 20 for Worcestershire; big city trumps small town again. With that dynamic in mind, Birmingham are the outsiders travelling to Chelmsford for the evening fixture, with the toss about to take place - join Gnasher for full commentary starting shortly.

Up comes the field, just a couple needed to win

Choudhry to Peterson, SIX runs
down on one knee, slogged over wide long-on, that could be decisive, Peterson hitting with the turn and it sails into the crowd
I think Batty is being told to calm down by the umpires... Sounds about right

short ball, taking the pace off but Peterson plays it well, delayed the pull and then got it fine, runs for a potentially vital boundary

W
Munro to Ansari, OUT
nippy bouncer from Munro, swishes at it, there's glove involved - Ansari is gone, caught by the keeper trotting to his right! Another one gone, they are chipping away. Smartly bowled by Munro, though not very well played

nicely struck off the back foot, through the off side, misbegotten bit of relay fielding between Munro and D'Oliveira gifts them a couple more

McClenaghan to Mahmood, OUT
around the wicket, dug in short and top-edged to fine leg! McClenaghan roars in delight, the ball was fast and cramped the batsman, couldn't control the shot and Worcestershire have another
