Sussex Sharks 121-3 v Worcestershire Rapids
Moeen Ali into his third over and Laurie Evans counter-attacks with a couple of boundaries to move him into the 40s.
But, Delray Rawlins isn't following the same script and holes out off the last ball of the over for 21.
Pat Brown holds on under the floodlights.
Delray Rawlins is one of the most talked about young cricketers around the county circuit. And while he may still lack a bit of cricketing maturity, he certainly doesn't lack raw power - as this huge maximum demonstrates.
Sussex Sharks 110-2 v Worcestershire Rapids
Luke Wood back on for his third over for Worcestershire.
Bowls a no ball at the start which to his relief doesn't cost more than a leg bye off the free hit.
Mixes up the pace a bit and Sussex struggle to get it away.
Here's how Moeen Ali did for Finals Day run machine Luke Wright with a nice bit of flight and guile.
Worcestershire could do with a few more like this one....

The predictions keep on coming.
From Andy K: "Sussex to accelerate last 3 overs and finish with 180-190...Worcs to fall short on 165. #bbccricket, external"

That was a great time for a wicket for Worcestershire, the partnership between Wright and Evans was building nicely.
It's a pretty even game, Worcestershire needed that wicket to pull it back in their favour a little bit, but Sussex will be happy with where they are at.
Sussex Sharks 92-2 v Worcestershire Rapids
Next ball and another six for Rawlins.
Whipped away over deep square leg and just over the fielder's head.
Brett D'Oliveira looks the other way meanwhile....
Sussex Sharks 86-2 v Worcestershire Rapids
Delray Rawlins - welcome to the party.
Six all the way off Brett D'Oliveira. He's off and running in style - a huge hit.
Sussex Sharks 78-2 v Worcestershire Rapids
Delray Rawlins in at number four for Sussex and we're at the halfway stage of this Sussex innings.
Meanwhile, here comes a first play of the final of Sweet Caroline.
All together now.....
Sussex Sharks 77-2 v Worcestershire Rapids
Another Moeen Ali over as all of a sudden Worcestershire need a breakthrough again to shift the momentum. And he's got it, and what a wicket too!
Luke Wright on his way!
He tried to come down the pitch and smash him out the ground but Moeen does him in the flight and bowls him. Big moment.
Wright bowled by Moeen
Sussex Sharks 70-1 v Worcestershire Rapids
Luke Wright smashes a six. Written that sentence a few times today.
Ed Barnard gets some punishment now after a decent start as Wright hits him for four and six in successive balls to move to 27 off 21 balls.
Sussex Sharks 56-1 v Worcestershire Rapids
Tidy finish to the over from both sides as Laurie Evans (26 not out) and Luke Wright (13 not out) keep rotating the strike.
If you missed the bizarre way Sussex opener Phil Salt found himself run out earlier in this innings, watch back the clip below.
Not that he will want to mind....
Sussex Sharks 54-1 v Worcestershire Rapids
Moeen Ali into the attack for Worcestershire and Laurie Evans gives him the treatment with a huge swipe into the legside for six.
Brings up the Sussex 50 after a bit of a quiet spell for the Sharks.

A marvellous sight!
It's like the queue for cakes at teatime in the Ladies Pavilion at Worcester but a lot larger, a lot more colourful, a lot less cake, and a lot more ale involved.
Sussex Sharks 46-1 v Worcestershire Rapids
Ed Barnard into the Worcestershire attack and it's another tidy piece of bowling from the Rapids attack.
For a moment, it looks like Laurie Evans is bowled trying to paddle sweep, but it's actually wicketkeeper Ben Cox who accidentally knocks a bail off standing up.
Just three runs from it.

These types of occasions really show what players are about - so for the young lads like Pat Brown it really shows how you can hold your nerve on big occasions.
There's more than 20,000 people watching and cheering you on, sometimes it can get to you.
Sussex Sharks 43-1 v Worcestershire Rapids
Image source, Rex FeaturesPatrick Brown needs three wickets in this final to become the highest wicket-taker in a T20 domestic season, surpassing Alfonso Thomas' previous best of 33 for Somerset.
He mixes up his pace in the last over of the Powerplay and nearly does for Luke Wright, who's about two weeks too early on the shot on one occasion. Tidy stuff from the right-armer.
Defeat in the semi-finals brought an end to the career of Somerset's South African opener Johann Myburgh.
He signed off with 22 off 11 balls against Sussex Sharks, having promised that his appearance at Finlas Day would be the last of his career.
It's clear he's held in high esteem at Taunton.
