Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Hampshire vs Nottinghamshire, NatWest t20 Blast 2017, 2nd Semi-Final

Nottinghamshire win by 23 balls and are in their first T20 final since 2006. Pace off the ball key throughout the match, but where it was legspin for Hampshire it was Notts' slower balls and cutters from Steven Mullaney and latterly Harry Gurney which made the difference. Samit Patel struck first ball to remove Shahid Afridi, but while James Vince was going Hampshire were in control. However, Mullaney changed the game and in the end it was comfortable for Notts. So it's Nottinghamshire v Birmingham in the final. We'll be back with you at 6.15pm for that...see you soon!

18.3

Ball to Crane, 1 run, length ball outside off, pushed to short third man

18.2

18.1

Ball to Wood, no run, goes across his stumps to try and scoop a length delivery from outside off...misses

17.6

Gurney to Crane, 2 runs, full and straight, a complete over of slower deliveries, flicked behind square on the leg side

Gurney gets something in his eye and has to abort his run-up

17.6

Gurney to Crane, 1 wide, this one is pushed down the leg side

17.5

Gurney to Wood, 1 run, full and straight, tapped into the leg side

Can Gurney finish it with a hat-trick?

17.4

Gurney to Abbott, OUT, and another! This is brilliant from Gurney. He's confounding them with the back-of-the-hand slower balls, this one is popped in the air into the off side and Christian runs round from cover

KJ Abbott c Christian b Gurney 0 (5m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

17.3

Gurney to Berg, OUT, Wessels at long-on again! Nottinghamshire closing in. It's the slower balls from Gurney, not pace to work with, lofts down the ground and the fielder didn't have to move

GK Berg c Wessels b Gurney 15 (13m 12b 2x4 0x6) SR: 125.00

17.2

Gurney to Berg, no run, huge appeal for caught behind! It was another slower ball, Berg through his shot as he flicks to the leg side. Takes the back pad

17.1

Gurney to Dawson, OUT, finds long-on! Over the wicket, a back-of-the-hand slower ball full at the stumps, Dawson opts to try and clear the leg side but doesn't get it far enough

LA Dawson c Wessels b Gurney 4 (15m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 57.14

Gurney, the left-armer, back for the death

END OF OVER:
17 | 14 Runs | HANTS: 140/6 (30 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 8.23, RRR: 10.00)

16.6

Ball to Berg, FOUR, starts by shuffling across to off stump, then steps outside leg, gets an outside edge on a full delivery which beats short third man...crucial end to the over for Hampshire

16.5

Ball to Dawson, 1 run, low full toss, on the pads, flicked through midwicket
