    Lancs 93-3 (require 90 from 60 balls)

    Migael Pretorius has kept the lid on things nicely with just two from the over but Michael Jones has eased it slightly ajar with an elegant four and Liam Livingstone has bullied a huge six over long off.

    That's a chink of light for Somerset, that's all it is at the moment, but well played Keaton Jennings, a really impressive knock.

    It was great work by Tom Kohler-Cadmore. He had to make good ground to the ball and pouched it well.

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore took that catch right in front of me. Stunning.

    He had so much ground to make up.

    Good bowling from Goldsworthy, throwing it outside off knowing Jennings likes to hit over the leg side.

    It's a good catch and a big wicket because Jennings is a good player of spin.

    Big moment in the game you feel.

    Keaton Jennings is annoyed with himself as that should have gone over the long boundary but the ball has just hesitated on him and he is through the shot to send it skyward.

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore makes good ground from long-on gives a big call to keep Craig Overton out of the way and ends sprawled on the pink Vitality banner pinned straight behind the wicket.

    It'll be interesting to see how spin reacts off this pitch now.

    It seems to have got better since the start.

  7. Postpublished at 7 overs

    Lancs 75-2 (Target: 183)

    Pace off from Ben Green and that was a good over which has stopped the bleeding.

    Just three off it and that should be a template for the other Somerset bowlers to follow.

    Spin for now with Lewis Goldsworthy into the attack

    Lancs 73-2 v Somerset 182-7

    In their six-over powerplay, Lancashire have racked up 73-2. Lancashire are absolutely on top at the moment.

  9. Postpublished at 6 overs

    Lancs 73-2 (Target: 183) v Somerset

    Lancs have 73-2 compared to 49-2 for Somerset at the same stage.

    16 off the over from Jake Ball with Liam Livingstone creaming one over square leg for six and Keaton Jennings top edging another over fine leg.

    Lancashire are in the driving seat here and the pitch looks a belter.

  10. Postpublished at 5 overs

    Lancs 57-2 (Target 183)

    And Keaton Jennings has joined in the fun, smoking another over long on from a bruised Craig Overton.

    He is up to 32 in 17 balls and Lancs are in a high gear here.

  11. Postpublished at 4.3 overs

    Lancs 50-2 (Target 183)

    Craig Overton gives up an extra ball and a run with a short ball wide and then watches a better ball sail over cow corner from Liam Livingstone's bat.

    That was a huge hit into the wind which still went 10 rows back. Huge.

    Exciting start to the day but I can’t unsee that the front of Somerset’s kit looks like Mickey Mouse with one ear

    Ollie (on a very rain south coast)

    What do you reckon folks? Does Ollie have a point?

    Thankfully those threatening clouds I mentioned earlier remain in the distance and Edgbaston is bathed in sunshine.

    The ground is pretty much full now and a Northampton flag has just been unfurled - it really is a fantastic day out for everyone concerned.

    Plenty riding on this pairing you would think with Keaton Jennings and Liam Livingstone at the crease.

    The latter almost single-handedly hauled Lancs into this semi with a 45-ball 85 against Kent in the quarter-final.

    But it is Jennings who is doing the heavy lifting here with 26 from 15 and a lovely cover drive from Lewis Gregory his latest effort.

    Stephen Moore

    Now is going to be crunch time for Lancashire. It brings in Liam Livingstone and Somerset know that.

    If they can get one of these two out they can pressurise Lancashire. They also know that if these two stay there until the 15th over, the game is over.

    It's all happening. Somerset have a second wicket as Matty Hurst is pinned in front by Craig Overton.

    Full, straight, and not much doubt in the mind of bowler, umpire Michael Gough or Keaton Jennings at the non-striker's who eases the velcro on his gloves.

    Keaton Jennings looks very much in the mood and has creamed Craig Overton dismissively over long on for a maximum.

    That was really special.

    Luke Wells has every right to stand there in disbelief.

    It was a stunning catch because Luke Wells really got hold of that. It was well away to the right of the fielder who plunged down to take that two-handed.

    That's a wicket that Somerset badly needed.

    Oh my word.

    Luke Wells has clipped a bang average ball off his hip and Migael Pretorius has taken a worldie at short fine leg.

    He had to dive to his right sharply and has pouched a brilliant grab.

    There will not be a better catch all day.
