    Hants 146-2

    They've got him. But only after one of the finest T20 innings in history.

    The ball after reaching his century, Shahid Afridi top edges Matt Henry and Ben Cotton grabs the chance at fine leg.

    The veteran gets a standing ovation as he walks off. Deservedly so.

    Hants 145-1 (Afridi 101, Vince 14)

    He's done it! It's one of the best T20 hundreds you will ever witness.

    Shahid Afridi cuts Imran Tahir away behind point to move to his century.

    His strike-rate - just a mere 240.47.

    How many more can he get?!

    Amazing Afridipublished at 11.3 overs

    Hants 138-1

    That's the shot of the evening so far for me.

    Shahid Afridi simply flicks Imran Tahir over the mid-wicket rope for his seventh boundary.

    He's up to 95 off 40 balls. Stunning batting from the all-rounder.

  4. Career best for Afridipublished at 11 overs

    Hants 129-1 (Afridi 87, Vince 13)

    Shahid Afridi now has his highest score in T20 cricket, surpassing his previous best of 80.

    He smacks Hardus Viljoen for a sumptuous four down the ground before flicking him down to third man with the deftest of touches.

    He's on course for the fastest T20 Blast hundred of the season. Alex Hales and Joe Clarke both made one off 45 deliveries.

    Afridi 76, Vince 12

    Goodness me how Derbyshire needed that.

    Imran Tahir concedes six singles and a wide off the 10th over.

    In the context of this innings so far, it feels like a maiden.

  6. 6 runs

    Six of the bestpublished at 8.5 overs

    Hants 106-1

    SIX MORE.

    It's some of the cleanest hitting you will ever see.

    Shahid Afridi hammers Matt Critchley over the leg side and out of the ground.

    He's up to 72 off 29 balls with seven fours and six sixes.

    The safest of hands Wayne Madsen. He's one of the best fielders in the country and that is so uncharacteristic.

    Of the outfield catches you get, that is one of the easy ones.

  8. dropped catch

    Hants 98-1

    Wayne Madsen, what have you done?!

    Shahid Afridi slaps a full toss from Imran Tahir straight to the fielder at mid wicket, but Madsen drops the simplest of catches.

    That could seriously be the difference between Derbyshire winning and losing this match.

  9. 6 runs

    HUGE from Afridipublished at 7.3 overs

    Hants 97-1

    Imran Tahir comes into the attack for Derbyshire but it makes no difference.

    Shahid Afridi launches him high and handsome over mid wicket for his fifth maximum.

    Madness.

  10. 50 runs

    Fifty for Shahid Afridipublished at 7 overs

    Hants 89-1

    Six more. Fifty for Shahid Afridi off just 20 balls.

    The 37-year-old pulls Matt Henry to fine leg for a max. He follows it up with another six to move to 57.

    It's incredible batting.

  11. 'Boom boom turning it on'published at 18:56 British Summer Time 22 August 2017

    Shahid Afridi is turning it on tonight, The beauty of him is that he can hit it to all corners of the ground. He's got so many shots up his sleeve.

  12. Hants 71-1published at 6 overs

    Afridi 45, Vince 0

    This is absolute carnage from Shahid Afridi.

    He smashes three more fours off Hardus Viljoen's including two over cover. In between he sends one MILES into the air but the fielder can't cling running backwards at long on. It wasn't even a half chance.

    The Pakistan legend is up to 45 off just 18 balls.

  13. Hants 56-1published at 5 overs

    Afridi 31, Vince 0

    It's definitely Hampshire batting by the way! I'll get it right in a minute.

    13 off Ben Cotton's second over. Hampshire are rocketing along at 11s.

  14. 6 runs

    Hants 55-1published at 4.3 overs

    Afridi 30, Vince 0

    BOOM BOOM time!

    Here he goes. Shahid Afridi pummels Ben Cotton over mid wicket for a max.

    Next ball he goes even bigger straight down the ground. It's outta here!

  15. 'That was exceptional'published at 18:47 British Summer Time 22 August 2017

    James Taylor
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    That catch is as good as you get. Matt Henry got back with such timing to grab it the way he did and hold the ball as he hit the ground. That was exceptional.

    Derbys 43-1

    What. A. Catch!

    That is one of the best you will see from Matt Henry!

    Calvin Dickinson tries to swipe Ben Cotton over mid-on but the big New Zealander leaps and clings on with one hand.

    Magnificent. James Vince is the new man in.

  17. Hants 43-0published at 4 overs

    Afridi 18, Dickinson 18

    Don't bowl there Hardus.

    Viljoen is steaming in, but goes too leggy. Calvin Dickinson first flicks him off his pads for four before pulling him away to the rope.

    Dickinson has caught up Shahid Afridi now - it's a flying start for the visitors.

  18. Hants 29-0published at 3 overs

    Afridi 17, Dickinson 9

    Oh, that's seriously cheeky from Calvin Dickinson.

    Ben Cotton keeps things tight, conceding just a couple off his first five deliveries before the opener ramps him behind square leg to the rope.

    Boom Boom is ticking at the other end. Good start for Hants.

    Afridi 16, Dickinson 4

    South African paceman Hardus Viljoen opens up from the other end.

    He's seriously quick - bowling over 90mph - and Calvin Dickinson can't get a bat on it.

    Eventually the youngster biffs him through point to the fence. Better over for Derbyshire with seven off it.
