    David Willey has played one of the great T20 innings. I've not seen ball striking like that for a long time. What a talent he is.

    That has cleared the stand, it has probably cleared the ground. That ball has travelled a country mile out of the ground.

    Richard Levi has decided it is time to come to the party. If he gets going as well this game will be over very quickly.

    I don't know if we'll get that one back, it has gone right out of the ground. It's the biggest six of the night. Sussex need wickets.

    That's a big stroke of luck for Northants. It's awkward under the lights but as Jayawardene came in he didn't know whether to come in for the catch or not and it span past him.

    You might remember that Styris hit 100 off 37 balls to help Sussex beat Gloucestershire by 39 runs in their 2012 quarter-final at Hove. That was the last time the south-coast county reached Finals Day.

    The average first innings score on this ground in the T20 Blast this season has been 172 and it has got that feel about it.

    Sussex are in all sorts of bother now. They have lost three quick wickets and may be struggling to get 160-170 now.

    Northants are back in this. Sussex don't want to let this momentum go because they have been scoring so well.

    That is outstanding from Josh Cobb, one of the best catches you are ever likely to see. He screamed around the boundary, slid down and, diving down with one hand, plucked it off the turf.

    You would not know that Mahela Jayawardene has just got off a plane given the way he is batting.

    Jayawardene has hit that as sweet as you like. That might have gone right out of the ground. He's putting Olly Stone to the sword.

    What a blow for Sussex to lose the skipper for 0.
