8.57pm My goodness. That will take some debriefing to get over. Leicestershire were dead and buried in their Powerplay. They were dead and buried in Nottinghamshire's Powerplay, but they were firmly in control as the penultimate over finished, only for Lilley's misfield to wreck their dream! Samit Patel, wily old fox, outfoxed the Foxes. The scores are level, but Nottinghamshire scored more runs in the Powerplay, so that is the decider!
Peter: "That bit of fielding by Klein may be the most tragic thing I've ever seen" It's true. The ball zipped past his fingers, and he just pulled his cap over his eyes, and hid.
So, Surrey v Gloucestershire and Lancashire v Nottinghamshire will be the line-ups for Finals Day. See you then!

Davis to Imad Wasim, 2 runs, full toss, swung away to deep midwicket, and another abysmal misfield! That's pure panic from Leicestershire... just needed to get the ball in the air ... but Klein took his eyes off it at the crucial moment, and Notts are through!
Three to win, but two will secure progression, assuming there's no run-out

Davis to Patel, 1 run, cracked hard to deep extra cover, Patel wants two... but it's only one!

Davis to Patel, SIX, clouted over long-off! Supreme composure from Patel, gives himself room, gets under the stroke, and hoists it into the stands! Now then... how crucial is that misfield about to be?

Davis to Patel, 2 runs, waits on the slower ball this time, and times the biff to long-on, but long-on slides round the rope to save the four,..

Davis to Patel, no run, superb slower ball! Patel winds up, and misses as the ball slides inside the legs, past the leg stump. No inside-edge this time!

Davis to Imad Wasim, 1 run, low full toss outside off, flogged hard to long-on where this time there's no mistake...
Davis to close it out...
