Well what a thrilling ending in Cardiff and a treat for all the fans who decided to forgo the allure of One Direction and the Manic Street Preachers.

Glamorgan halt Middlesex's late charge and take it to the final over where John Simpson needed a six to win from the final ball. But Glamorgan picked up the victory when he failed to connect.

With 27 needed off the final over, Steven Crook strikes the second ball from Ed Barnard for six.

However the young bowler keeps it tight for the rest of the over and Worcestershire see the game out.

An impressive performance from Daryl Mitchell's men who now have two wins from their opening three games in the North Group.

This match is petering out somewhat. The last ball of the 13th over - bowled by England's Ben Stokes - is a bizarre one which looks to have bounced twice before going well wide of the crease. Dilshan chases it miles away from the stumps and seems to hurt his back in the process. Not one for the highlights reel....
