5.6 to TB Abell, inducker! Did we ever doubt him! Anderson fires it in on that full length but reverses the shiny side, rips it off the inside-edge and into the top of the stumps! What a canny old goat he is!. 49/2 17.2 to L Gregory, full length, wide line, toe-ended to deep cover! Gregory was obliged to come and fetch it, but with two men back in the deep he had to nail his stroke... and he didn't!. 150/5 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 1 | 36 | 1 | 9.00 | 11 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 0 | |
7.4 to JEK Rew, length ball, slapped off the pads, straight to short midwicket! A sharp low take as Rew's impact is sawn off early. Big moment. Aspinwall's figures are looking tasty!. 62/3 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 31 | 3 | 10.33 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | |
2.1 to WCF Smeed, bowled through the gate! Balderson bullseye, with a very Anderson-esque dismissal! Hits his length, seam movement back into the top of middle stump. Somerset lose their first, with next to no momentum!. 6/1 18.2 to T Kohler-Cadmore, belted out of the full length, straight to deep midwicket! The end of a mighty knock from TKC... he didn't quite get enough on that, inside-half of the bat, and Blatherwick does the needful. 154/6 18.6 to BGF Green, low full toss, heaved to deep midwicket! Couldn't get sufficiently underneath that launch, a toe-end hung in the breeze and dropped into Blatherwick's hands again. 161/7 | ||||||||||

12.1 to SR Dickson, beaten on the charge, stumped by a foot! Hartley saw him coming, bowled it into the surface, and looped the ball over his advances! Hurst whips off the bails for a key wicket!. 93/4 | ||||||||||

2.5 to MF Hurst, Given! Plumb as you like, Hurst across his stumps, Overton full and straight, into the front shin. 35/2 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 21 | 2 | 7.00 | 9 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
1.3 to LWP Wells, What a catch! Full, on leg stump, whipped away with ease... and brilliantly taken by Migael Pretorious diving full-stretch to his right. He'd have seen it late, but as soon as the South African got a sight of it, he was on his way. Remarkable effort. 22/1 11.5 to LS Livingstone, Given! Gregory strikes Livingstone in front and the umpire's finger goes up immediately... Livingstone reviews just as quickly... what a moment... and it's confirmed as out by television umpire Sue Redfern! Livingstone isn't happy, he believes he got an inside edge there, which matched up to the spike on Ultra Edge. He may be right, you know.... 102/4 | ||||||||||

14.1 to AR Shetty, Clothed to cover! Another slower ball, Shetty, set forward, has to go with it, gets it on the bottom of the bat and excellently taken by Gregory, moving low to his left. 110/5 18.1 to GP Balderson, Full, on leg stump, almost swept away by Jones to deep square. 152/7 18.2 to TW Hartley, And he's out first ball! Length delivery from Green, around the wicket, Hartley goes after it and TKC steams in to take a catch very low to the ground. 152/8 | ||||||||||

7.4 to KK Jennings, Goldsworth with the breakthrough! And Kohler-Cadmore with an outstanding catch charging up from long on. Jennings charged, launched but got high rather than far. TKC calls early and falls forward to claim. Jennings pushes his bat in frustration... that probably should have gone the distance. 78/3 | ||||||||||
| 3.5 | 0 | 27 | 3 | 7.04 | 14 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | |
16.4 to JM Blatherwick, Another low full toss, launched to deep midwicket... where Overton takes the catch! There were two fielders out there as the ball hung in the air... but Overton takes command of the situation as Smeed peels away at the last moment. Pretorious is elated. 142/6 19.3 to MA Jones, Gone! Another Pretorious full toss does the trick... Jones cloths down the ground and Overton does excellently to stay within the field as it takes the catch down at long on. Pretty average cricket and a very tame end to this first semi-final.... 158/9 19.5 to TH Aspinwall, That's all she wrote! A desperate heave to the leg side lands safely into Overton's hands down the ground. Somerset are through to their eighth T20 Blast final!. 159/10 | ||||||||||
