That's it for tonight. Join us tomorrow to find out which teams make it to the main draw of the tournament. Cheers

Steve Snell is deservedly the MoM with his cool head in the end. He says, "It was nice to be out there and playing in a high-pressure game. We were trying to be calm, and thought one boundary an over would win us the game. We knew even if we needed 15 in the last over, we were in the game. Didn't want to lose it before that. Pretty delighted to get there in the end. I am a back-up for two internationals, a spare keeper if you like. So enjoyed it."

Gareth Hopkins: It is gut-wrenching to go this close and fall short. We were just looking to play straighter, but I think we had enough with our experiecned bowling line-up. The Somerset boys played really well in the end.

Alfonso Thomas: We didn't deserve to win it until the last couple of overs really, the way we batted. It was a bit of deja vu really to go out and finish a game here. The goal is always to get into the second half where we have two more international players coming

Two nights, two heartbreaks for Auckland Aces. Somerset are thrilled, van der Merwe is the first one to charge in and join in the celebrations. Emphatic shakes of hands in the Somerset camp, despondent ones in the Auckland one. Remember the curse of the 19th over. Two edged boundaries. Game over. Although Auckland can't put it all down to luck. You expect teams to protect the boundaries behind the stumps when the lower order is in. They didn't. And then there was the drop in the 19th over. I'm telling you over No. 19 is cursed in this tournament. Happened with Ruhunu and T&T too.

And what a huge relief for Somerset, known of late for losing the pressure games. Credit to Hildreth and Snell for hanging in

In comes captain Thomas. He needs one run here. He knows they are not losing this without a Super Over. Eight men inside the circle

Long-off comes in now. Tense stuff

Now we have a short midwicket saving one

Bates to bowl the final over. Only four runs to defend
