Summary

  • Five quarter-final places filled on last night

  • Notts, Derbyshire, Birmingham and Leicestershire through in North Group

  • Glamorgan, Surrey, Hampshire and Somerset progress from South Group

  1. Northants v Durham called offpublished at 21:43 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Northants v Durham 208-3 (20 overs)

    The rain ends the game in Northampton. No result and that means defending champions Northamptonshire Steelbacks are out.

  2. wicket

    WICKET Stevens (c Foakes b S Curran) 13published at 21:42 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent 129-5 (17.1 overs) v Surrey 154-9

    So, the big issue to resolve in the South Group is going to unfold at Canterbury.

    The winner is most definitely into the last eight with a win, but which side is is going to be?

    Darren Stevens looked like being the man to get Kent over the line, but Sam Curran has him caught behind at a crucial stage to give Surrey new hope.

  3. Sussex can't get throughpublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Sussex 172-4 (20 overs) v Essex 107-9 (14.5 overs)

    That win for Somerset means that Sussex can't overtake them in the table on net run-rate despite the fact the Sharks are racing to a big win of their own against Essex.

    Mohammed Amir, who heads back to Pakistan tomorrow to join up with his national team-mates, is the ninth wicket to fall at Hove for the visitors.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Elliot (c Croft b Livingstone) 1published at 21:40 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Lancashire 163-4 (20 overs) v Birmingham 158-6 (18 overs)

    Lancashire have a fifth wicket!

    And another! Sam Hain gone! Liam Livingstone is on a hat-trick. Birmingham need six to win from 13.

    Lancashire think they're back in this now from no where.

  5. Nail biter at Trent Bridgepublished at 21:38 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Notts 165-6 (17 overs) v Leicestershire 203-5 (20 overs)

    Big finish at Trent Bridge. They require 39 from the final three overs to beat Leicestershire.

  6. Somerset beat Hampshire by 98 runspublished at 21:37 British Summer Time 18 August 2017
    Breaking

    Hampshire 91 (18.3 overs) v Somerset 189-3

    Big win for Somerset against Hampshire!

    That may well get them a place in the quarter-finals with a huge boost to the net run-rate.

    Hampshire have missed their chance it would seem to secure a home quarter-final and will now have to sit and wait to see where they finish in the South Group.

  7. Kent need 41 off 24 ballspublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent 114-4 (16 overs) v Surrey 154-9

    Down to the last four overs of the winner-takes-all clash at Canterbury.

    Kent looked well set to chase 155 against Surrey a few overs ago, but Surrey have tightened the squeeze beautifully with the ball.

    Kent need 10-an-over off the last four to get home.

  8. champagne moment

    Derbyshire beat Worcestershire by 48 runspublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 18 August 2017
    Breaking

    Derbyshire 146-8 (20 overs) v Worcestershire 98 all out (15.4 overs)

    Derbyshire Falcons qualify for the quarter-finals!

  9. wicket

    WICKET Sibley (c Lilley b Khan)published at 21:35 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Lancashire 163-4 (20 overs) v Birmingham 154-4 (16.5 overs)

    Lancashire couldn't, could they?

    19 from 10 needed.

  10. Essex almost donepublished at 21:34 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Sussex 172-4 (20 overs) v Essex 95-8 (13.2 overs)

    Almost done and dusted down at Hove where Essex keep trying to clear the ropes, but keep finding the safe hands of Sussex's fielders.

    Will Beer has a third wicket as Paul Walter pulls one down the throat of deep mid-wicket.

    Sussex look set to win big but even that might not be enough to get into the quarter-finals.

  11. wicket

    WICKET De Grandhomme (c Buttler b Khan) 1published at 21:31 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Lancashire 163-4 (20 overs) v Birmingham 152-3 (16.2 overs)

    I'm sticking by my prediction. Birmingham Bears are still going to win this and reach the quarter-finals but they're stuttering over the line.

    Junaid Khan takes his first wicket. 12 from 22 needed.

  12. Four wickets for Tahirpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Derbyshire 146-8 (20 overs) v Worcestershire 95-9 (14.5 overs)

    The Imran Tahir celebration is in full flow.

    Derbyshire's South African spinner is running around the outfield as he takes a fourth wicket.

    One more needed for Derbyshire...

  13. wicket

    WICKET Hose (st Buttler b Parkinson) 49published at 21:28 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    It isn't going to affect the outcome but Matt Parkinson has got one to turn sideways off the Old Trafford track to get Adam Hose stumped one short of his half-century.

    The Bears are still comfortable. They need just 19 from 28 balls

  14. Derbyshire closing inpublished at 21:26 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Derbyshire 146-8 (20 overs) v Worcestershire 89-8 (13.5 overs)

    Another in the bag for Derbyshire!

    Matt Henry (not me the New Zealander) with his first wicket after finding the outside edge of Alex Hepburn's bat.

    Make that eight down! Barnard becomes Imran Tahir's third scalp. Derbyshire are going to make the quarter-finals...

  15. wicket

    WICKET Denly (c Foakes b Clarke) 40published at 21:25 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent 99-4 (13.4 overs) v Surrey 154-9

    Well, well. Are Surrey still in this one?

    Joe Denly was looking set to guide his side into the last eight, but he edges Rikki Clarke behind to Ben Foakes and now the visitors have their tails up.

  16. Billings falls for Kentpublished at 21:23 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Kent 97-3 (13 overs) v Surrey 154-9

    Still a little bit in the balance at Canterbury as Surrey once again break a partnership at a handy time.

    Sam Billings chops a ball from Mosies Henriques on to his own stumps to fall for 15.

    Kent still with work to do to get to 155 and book their quarter-final spot.

  17. Rapids lose their sixth wicketpublished at 21:22 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Derbyshire 146-8 (20 overs) v Worcestershire 86-6 (12.4 overs)

    I reckon any team with Imran Tahir in their line-up is a danger in the knockout stages. Derbyshire's leggie has his second wicket, getting Ross Whiteley caught. Worcestershire Rapids are still in with a sniff with 61 runs needed with 44 balls remaining but it will have to be the lower order that get those runs.

  18. Middlesex set a round 100published at 21:21 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Glamorgan v Middlesex 99-8 (14 overs)

    Middlesex's rain-reduced innings of 14 overs has finished on 99-8.

    Glamorgan can secure top spot in the South Group and a home quarter-final if they chase down 100 from their 14 overs.

  19. Patel falls for Notts Outlawspublished at 21:18 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Notts 109-5 (12 overs) v Leicestershire 203-5 (20 overs)

    Samit Patel is gone! That's a huge wicket for Leicestershire.

    Mathew Pillans does the job dismissing the all-rounder for 39. Derbyshire, Birmingham and Leicestershire are all looking good for a win.

    That's bad news for second-placed Yorkshire Vikings. They'll drop out of the qualification places if those three teams win.

  20. wicket

    WICKET Ten Doeschate (c Jordan b Beer) 27published at 21:17 British Summer Time 18 August 2017

    Sussex 172-4 (20 overs) v Essex 64-6 (9.4 overs)

    Essex are crashing out of contention fast and Sussex are hanging in there in their bid to steal the last quarter-final berth.

    Ryan ten Doeschate tries to smash Will Beer for six down to deep mid-wicket but doesn't get enough on it to prevent a sprinting Chris Jordan from getting round in time to take the catch.
