6.24pm What a day for Somerset. The wait is over at last.
Tom Abell: "It means absolutely the world to this team, you know, it means everything and to our supporters and everyone associated with the club. Delighted we could get the win today.".
"We were going to have to start pretty well, we just didn't quite get it right with the ball, you know," says Sam Northeast. "We always worked hard to get back into the game from there onwards, but they came out and played seriously well, and full credit to the two openers"
TIme for some presentations The Player of the Match is Jamie Overton.
"Feels great. Obviously it's been a tough couple of weeks, I've been away from the boys [at Northants]. It's been a great experience coming back here and and also doing it at Lord's. An amazing crowd that we got coming up here, it's incredible."
6pm A momentous victory for Somerset. Hildreth and Bartlett guide their side to glory, the final domestic final at Lord's. It is their first trophy since 2005, and after so many near-misses, it feels extra sweet.
"Ten second places in my career!" says Peter Trego. "Absolutely amazing. Unbelievable.".
