in the slot, and slogged over long on to book that slot in the final! That's the way to do it. One over makes the difference, as Surrey await!

Full commentary
7pm Dan Christian is Player of the Match: "Our season has gone that way, our spinners and medium-pacers have done the job through the middle and end. The wicket played a little better than in the first game, we'll wait and see if it starts to skid on. Chris Nash, we'll speak to the brains trust, Peter Trego is waiting in the wings. Not sure how Nashy is so we'll find out shortly..."
Indeed we will. Time to switch browsers once again ... from here, to here.... for Surrey against Nottinghamshire in the fInal of the 2020 Vitality Blast!
Here's Dane Vilas: "We can reflect on a good season and be proud of the boys. With everything that's gone on it's been difficult but thanks to the ECB. Playing in October is strange, but Notts are a very good side, they bat deep, and are a good side to reach the final."
Duncan Ward: "Is the final still 16 overs or could they increase it?" All will be revealed... But there's been some impressive flexibility from the ECB in the last few days. In fact, here is the news...
"The final is 16 overs," say the ECB. "One bowler can bowl 4 and any others 3. Powerplay is 4.5 overs. Toss at 7:10pm. Match starts at 7:30pm 7.25pm."

Parkinson to Christian, OUT
a gallop to the pitch, and Christian is done! Went for the big wind-up, but Parkinson's more flighted leg-spin undoes his murderous intent. Tossed up, dipping before he can reach the pitch, and Davies whips off the bails with Christian already halfway to the dressing room

Livingstone to Christian, 1 run
goes for the fifth, but drags it to square leg! No matter ... he's booked a final with Surrey in four blows!
Never in doubt ...
7.5
6
Livingstone to Christian, SIX runs
round the wicket, and that's vanished as well! The change of angle does nothing to confound Christian's pumping adrenalin. Butchered over the leg side once more!
7.4
6
Livingstone to Christian, SIX runs
faster, flatter, straighter ... same result! Christian is seeing it like a comet now, another swing over midwicket, right into his arc...
7.3
6
Livingstone to Christian, SIX runs
belted over cow corner, and it is utterly nailed! Slower ball, wider line, down on one knee, with a violent swing across the line! The report of the bat said everything!
7.2
6
Livingstone to Christian, SIX runs
tosses up the leg-break, swept on length, and pounded into the stands! That'll help settle Notts' nerves!

Parkinson to Christian, 1 run
flicked firmly to long-on, just the single. Nottinghamshire still have this in their grasp, but it's a battle now!

•
Parkinson to Christian, no run
lovely bowling, grip and dip, outside leg stump
6.4
•
Parkinson to Christian, no run
sharp spin from a tight line! Squirted out to point as that one skids, and so does the fielder!
Clarence: "Five penalty runs for bad language? Australia would end an innings on about minus 500 if they ever have Martin Saggers do one of their games."

Now then Samit... back up to No. 6 as well you'd expect of the man who kept his cool on Thursday

Hartley to Clarke, OUT
full and flatter, pings back leg stump, and now Nottinghamshire are worried! The surprise yorker, Clarke wasn't expecting that at all, as he plays all round it, and Lancashire are cock-a-hoop!

W
Hartley to Moores, OUT
honked high in the air, a miscued slog from Moores, he's no-where near the pitch of the ball, and that's a well-judged swallow at deep cover. Poor choice there, with Clarke going so well. Are Nottinghamshire going to choke as they did in the quarters?
Tom Moores c Vilas b Hartley 1 (3b 0x4 0x6 7m) SR: 33.33

A switch of ends for Hartley.
