    Christian 24, Mullaney 0

    Welcome to the party, Dan Christian!

    A short-arm jab for six over square leg, then a remarkable shot over cover for six, and then another over mid-wicket!

  3. Watch Crane strike for Hampshirepublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 2 September 2017

    Notts Outlaws 123-5 (16 overs) v Hampshire

    Mason Crane is seen as a future England spin bowler in Test cricket and he showed a steady nerve in the T20 format with an impressive spell of 1-22 for Hampshire. Watch again how he removed in-form Notts opener Riki Wessels.

  4. Notts Outlaws 123-5published at 16 overs

    The TV pictures are showing a couple of kids in one of those huge catapult-type rides just outside Edgbaston. You couldn't get me in one of those things if you gave me a million quid.

    Back on the field, Steven Mullaney and Dan Christian are together at the crease for Notts as they look to get up towards 170.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Patel (c Bailey b Dawson) 35published at 15.3 overs

    Notts Outlaws 122-5

    Six and out for Samit Patel, who has gone for a well-made 35.

    Patel smacked Liam Dawson straight back over his head for six, tried it again, and picked out George Bailey on the rope.

    I'm pretty sure I've heard a similar playlist at Birmingham's most famous nightclub Snobs on a Saturday night (other Birmingham nightclubs are available).

    Now some Labrinth 'Earthquake' blasts out. Perhaps the majority of souls in the Eric Hollies Stand will be heading out and dancing to that later.

    They haven't stopped singing since the start of this second semi-final.

    We talk about batting in partnerships, but Crane and Afridi have bowled brilliantly. They've controlled that run rate beautifully, Mason Crane 10 dot balls, Afridi eight dot balls.

  8. Notts Outlaws 115-4published at 15 overs

    Patel 29, Christian 2

    Shahid Afridi is bowled out as well, taking 1-22 off his four overs.

    Ten runs per over from here will get Notts to 165.

  9. Notts Outlaws 109-4published at 14 overs

    Crane 4-0-22-1

    Samit Patel hits a straight four during Mason Crane's final over, but it's been an excellent spell from the young Hampshire spinner.

    Nice celebration by Chris Wood, he threw that as far in the air as he caught it from. The game could be won or lost in the next 20 minutes with Dan Christian in. If he bats for 10 overs he can get you 70 on his own.

  11. wicket

    WICKET Taylor (c Wood b Afridi) 19published at 12.2 overs

    Notts Outlaws 99-4

    Brendan Taylor goes for the big shot but holes out at long on, with Chris Wood taking a safe catch on the boundary.

    Hampshire are gaining the upper hand here, so a lot rests on the experienced pair of Samit Patel and captain Dan Christian for Notts.

    We're now four hours in and it's starting to tell in the Eric Hollies stand.

    "Boom Boom Boom, lemme hear you say way-oh, way-oh" belts out and the atmosphere ramps up a notch.

    What is it going to be like at 7pm?!

  13. Notts Outlaws 98-3published at 12 overs

    Patel 14, Taylor 19

    An excellent shot lofted over cover for four from Samit Patel breaks the shackles a little bit.

    Notts need to accelerate soon - if the Hampshire bowlers will allow it. Only 28 runs have been scored in the past five overs.

  14. Notts Outlaws 90-3published at 11 overs

    Patel 7, Taylor 18

    An appeal for lbw from Shahid Afridi but Brendan Taylor survives.

    We saw Birmingham Bears get to 175 batting first in the first semi-final earlier on. Would the Outlaws take that right now?

  15. Watch Wessels' six for Nottspublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 2 September 2017

    Notts Outlaws 83-3 (10 overs) v Hampshire

    Riki Wessels got Notts off to a positive start despite the early loss of opening partner Alex Hales.

    Watch again as he clears the rope early in his innings.

  16. Notts Outlaws 83-3published at 10 overs

    Crane 2-0-7-1

    Mason Crane is helping to drag this back in Hampshire's favour. The runs have dried up for the Notts batsmen in the past couple of overs.

  17. 'Leggies pose lots of questions'published at 15:02 British Summer Time 2 September 2017

    Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC 5 live sports extra

    Most of the successful Twenty20 teams have a leg-spinner in them. Batsmen are never sure. Is it going to spin away? Is it going to be straight on? You have to keep asking yourself questions all the time.

  18. Notts Outlaws 78-3published at 9 overs

    Patel 4, Taylor 10

    Leg spin at both ends now, as Shahid Afridi enters the action. A fairly uneventful over with no boundaries, which will suit Hampshire.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Wessels (c Vince b Crane) 48published at 7.3 overs

    Notts Outlaws 71-3

    We're going to get our first look at leg-spinner Mason Crane, who has been in the last couple of England Test squads.

    And he has a wicket in his first over!

    He has Brendan Taylor in all sorts of trouble, and then removes the dangerous Riki Wessels, who sends a leading edge straight into the grateful hands of James Vince at cover.

  20. Notts Outlaws 69-2published at 6.4 overs

    Wessels 48, Taylor 5

    Three successive fours from Riki Wessels off Liam Dawson take the Notts opener to the verge of a half-century.

    Wessels scored 116 off 88 balls in a Championship match the other day, so no doubting that he's in decent nick.
