  1. Lancs 76-2 v Somerset 182-7

    Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

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

    It seems to have got better since the start.

  2. 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

  3. Lancs 73-2 v Somerset 182-7

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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?

  8. Gary Smee
    BBC Sport at Edgbaston

    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.

  9. Lancs 41-2 (Target 183)

    Lancashire's Keaton JenningsPA Media

    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.

  10. Lancashire 35-2, target 183

    Stephen Moore
    Former Lancashire opener on BBC Radio Lancashire

    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.

    Hurst lbw b Overton 5 (Lancs 35-2 Target: 183)

    Craig Overton celebrates the wicket of Matty HurstReuters

    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.

  12. 6 runs

    Lancs 35-1 (Target 183)

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

  13. Lancs 23-1 v Somerset 182-7

    Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That was really special.

    Luke Wells has every right to stand there in disbelief.

  14. Lancashire 22-1 v Somerset 182-7

    Anthony Gibson
    BBC Radio Somerset

    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.

    WICKET

    Wells c Pretorius b Gregory 7 (Lancs 22-1)

    Migael Pretorius celebrates taking a catch to dismiss Luke WellsReuters

    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.

  16. Lancs 15-0 v Somerset 182-7

    Excellent start for Lancashire with a four and a six from Keaton Jennings off Craig Overton's opening over and 15 from it.

    Should be a stroll at this rate.

  17. Lancs v Somerset 11-0

    Aatif Nawaz
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That felt like a Jos Buttler tribute shot that scoop from Jennings.

  18. 6 runs

    Lancs 7-0 v Somerset 182-7

    What a way to kick off your knock. Keaton Jennings elegantly ramps Craig Overton for six.

    That was superbly timed.

  19. Lancs v Somerset 182-7

    Right... here we go.

    This a significant total but the pitch does not look demonic and Lancs will fancy their chances.

  20. Lancs v Somerset 182-7

    Gary Smee
    BBC Sport at Edgbaston

    It's an extraordinary sight seeing the Hollies Stand empty during the innings break.

    A giant traffic cone is being followed by four huge bananas and half a dozen jockies up the stairs.
