Well quite a turn up for books there, Hampshire, the T20 kings, have been hammered and lose a second consecutive semi-final. They didn't get the best result from the D/L calculation but this chase has been very poor indeed with only Jimmy Adams getting himself going. Lancashire did well to recover from their disastrous start with the bat and it's been a very good defence, especially their fielding. Warwickshire v Lancashire is the final, coming up in about half an hour, so a quick turnaround again, stay with us for part three of Finals Day...

Clark to Wood, OUT, full just outside off, Wood slaps hard and finds mid-off!. That will do for Lancashire, another catch in the ring, a mistimed drive, chipped straight to the fielder and the Red Rose captain has taken the winnings catch
