  1. Somerset 206-4 (37 overs) - target 245published at 17:36 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Hildreth 43, Bartlett 1

    A near thing for George Bartlett as he answers James Hildreth's call for a single and Rilee Rossouw's throw just misses the stumps as he stretches to complete the run.

    Three from the over and Somerset need 39 more with 13 overs remaining. Cakes in nearby patisseries are putting on their shoes.

  2. Hants 203-4 (36 overs)published at 17:33 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Hildreth 41, Bartlett 0

    The return of Edwards brought a reward but Somerset need just 42 more from 84 balls.

    Abell c Donald b Edwards 14 (Somerset 203-4)

    It's a last throw of the dice by Sam Northeast as the Hampshire captain brings back Fidel Edwards in the hunt for a breakthrough and he gets the wicket of Tom Abell.

    After hitting Edwards to backward square leg for four, Abell pulls him straight to square leg and Aneurin Donald takes the catch, having dropped Peter Trego earlier.

  4. "Great catch!"published at 17:30 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    A third wicket for Hampshire as Chris Wood's sliding catch dismisses Somerset's Peter Trego for 29.

    Here's how it happened...

  6. Somerset 196-3 (35 overs) - target 245published at 17:25 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    HIldreth 38, Abel 10

    Deja vu as just like in the previous over, James Hildreth cuts the first ball - this time from Chris Wood - for four.

    Noisy singing now from the Somerset contingent in the crowd, but it's certainly not one from The Wurzels back catalogue.

  7. Somerset 189-3 (34 overs) - target 245published at 17:22 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Hildreth 32, Abell 9

    James Hildreth cuts James Fuller's opening delivery through backward point for four with minimum fuss, before helping a short one down to fine leg and trotting through for a single.

    Fuller tries Tom Abell with a bouncer and a controlled top edge flies away fine for four, and Abell punches the next through the off-side for another boundary. Time running out now for Hampshire

  9. Somerset 176-3 (33 overs) - target 245published at 17:17 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Hildreth 27, Abell 1

    Substantial turn for Mason Crane and he is unlucky as James Hildreth drives and the ball flies through where first slip would have been standing - if he had one - for four runs. Another 69 off 102 balls needed by Somerset.

  10. Somerset 170-3 (32 overs) - target 245published at 17:15 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Hildreth 22, Abell 0

    Somerset skipper Tom Abell is the new batsman, but he has to wait his turn with James Hildreth on strike, who sees off three dot balls.

    "Fuller was in the runs, he's now got a wicket to his name as well.

    "Peter Trego is waving to the crowd like it could be his last appearance at Lord's. Who knows?

    "Could this be the start of a collapse. They've got to bowl Somerset out."

    WICKETpublished at 17:12 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Trego c Wood b Fuller 29 (Somerset 170-3, 31.3 overs)

    A ray of hope for Hants? Peter Trego top edges a delivery from James Fuller and Chris Wood slides to take a good catch at long leg.

  13. Somerset 169-2 (31 overs) - target 245published at 17:09 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Trego 29, Hildreth 21

    Mason Crane returns.

    His first ball is a shocker and Peter Trego flays it away for four runs with the relish of a blacksmith hammering hot metal.

    James Hildreth runs it down to third man for three more before Treo deftly sweeps for two to end the over - 10 from it.

  14. Somerset 159-2 (30 overs) - target 245published at 17:06 British Summer Time 25 May 2019

    Trego 22, Hildreth 18

    As David Lloyd provides a diversion for TV viewers with the story of how he was urinated on by a smiling monkey, Somerset keep the scoreboard moving in James Fuller's second over.

    The final ball is clipped through mid-wicket by Peter Trego and they have time for three runs.

    Peter Trego skips through for two from the final ball of the over - 90 needed now. These two using all their experience to push Somerset towards their target.

    Somerset 152-2 (28.2 overs - target 245)

    Peter Trego hammers the ball away off Kyle Abbott, but Aneurin Donald can't hang onto a stinging chance at point. Hampshire can't afford those if they are going to win this game.

    Trego 16, Hildreth 16

    We wonder no longer (see 16:53 entry) - James Fuller has the ball at last.

    A push from James Hildreth to third man takes the Somerset total to 150 and Peter Trego follows his lead to end the over - 94 needed now.
