Worcestershire beat Notts by one run in first semi
Another scoop from Ben Duckett and Ben Cox gets his helmet in the way to prevent runs.
But the second attempt is well-connected and finds a boundary wide of short-fine leg.
Still needs finishing off this chase.
Daryl Mitchell is back. Slow - and slower.
Reverse-sweep from Ben Duckett is only worth a single to deep point.
Great piece of fielding from Moeen Ali at short-extra cover saves four.
Two Ben Duckett pulls bring singles from Wayne Parnell.
Better over for Worcestershire but only wickets will genuinely draw concern from Notts.

Another dot then a single and there's a hint of pressure.
Dan Christian the Notts captain joins Ben Duckett and sees out the over.
Loads of batting to come and this is still in the no bother stage at the moment.

For Worcestershire now it's all in.
They have to get wickets to win this game now, they can't hold bowlers back, otherwise it'll be too little too late.
It's now or never for Worcestershire.

Notts 100-2 v Worcs 147-9
That's the one Worcestershire desperately needed!
Alex Hales takes a swipe at Moeen Ali and gets the thinnest of nicks through to Ben Cox.
He doesn't even need to wait for the umpire to raise his finger as Hales turns and walks.
The boundary from Alex Hales keeps Notts rolling along.
One biggish over will kill this chase now.
Notts 95-1 chasing 148 to beat Worcs
Alex Hales gives himself some room to crack a Pat Brown slower ball between extra-cover and mid-off.
He cuts away two more wide of the off-side sweep and Hales goes to a smart half-century
Tidy over from Moeen Ali who's been economical but can't force the error Worcestershire need.
Ben Duckett less fluent than Alex Hales so can the Pears keep the left-hander on strike?

The atmosphere is brilliant here today.
What a day for a spectator to come out and watch a day of cricket. Some of the outfits are fantastic.

Image source, Getty ImagesWorcestershire simply have to get Alex Hales out.
He sends Ben Duckett back attempting a run Hales didn't want but the throw misses - might have been close.
Half a chance.
The Eric Hollies Stand, even early in the day, can often get revved up but here they're becalmed with Notts knocking these off with a cigar on.
Simply no need for any risk. Singles being run around and the board keeps ticking.
For a T20, it's rather dull.

It is the fourth time he has reached or passed 400 in a T20 season.
Hales 40, Duckett 19
Half-way stage and Notts have reduced the asking rate to little over a run-a-ball.
It would take quite the collapse to lose from here.

There’s a subdued air around the ground of what’s going to happen here.
Only 147 to defend and two big occasion players at the crease in Alex Hales and Ben Duckett who have both played match-winning T20 Finals Day knocks here before.
Even Donald Trump surely couldn’t keep out Notts now, with or without his Mexican Wall!!!
Image source, PA MediaBen Duckett is showing all of his dexterity now.
Quick hands to reverse-sweep Brett D'Oliveira backward of point for four.
Notts 75-1 chasing 148 to win
Notts are in control of their run chase as we near the half-way point of their innings. How Worcestershire would love another wicket.
He's how the one they have claimed so far fell.
Alex Hales leans out to use those long levers and he hoists Ed Barnard flat over long-on for six.
73 from 66 needed. Doddle.
Ben Duckett is down on one-knee again to scoop, he adjusts at the last moment to run a ball wide of the off stump to fine third-man for four.
Very clever from the wee man.
