Sussex bowler on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
I'm backing Essex Eagles, if there's a little bit of turn it could be the type of night where Ryan ten Doeschate and Ravi Bopara are chasing a total, they are the type of guys who have been there and seen it.
Worcs 10-1 v Essex
Ian Bell
Former England batsman on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
I'm going with Essex to to win but it's really balanced, both teams have players who can win games on their own.
Worcestershire skipper Moeen Ali is the next man in for the Rapid, but Dan Lawrence's first ball to him is a wide down the leg side.
Moeen looks like a man in a hurry, however, hitting each of the next two balls in the air - the first to the rope, the second just short of the man on the edge of the circle.
Lively start.
Worcs 5-1 v Essex
David Bradley
BBC Hereford and Worcester cricket commentator
We saw the Essex spinners in the semi-final really turn it. This time it's Dan Lawrence. That's a big, big blow for Worcester.
Worcs 5-1 v Essex
Well, I said it was turning - and boy does this one turn!
Dan Lawrence's second ball finds the outside edge of Hamish Rutherford's bat, streaking away for four to third man, but there's no getting any timber on his third delivery.
It's an absolute snorter, gripping off the surface and clean bowling a bemused Rutherford.
Worcs 1-0 v Essex
That's turned a mile from Dan Lawrence! The problem for Essex, however, is that he barely lands it on the strip. Amusing start to the final.

It has been a belting day at Edgbaston. We’ve seen some belting cricket too.
And history is about to be made, one way or the other.
Whether it is Essex winning for the first time, or Worcestershire becoming the first side to successfully defend their trophy, one of these sides will be making an ingress to cricket’s record books.

Worcestershire captain Moeen Ali on on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra: "It's not too bad to be batting first, we need to get a score on an put pressure on Essex but I would have bowled as well.
"To win the first game the way we did stands us in good stead for the final."
Worcestershire Rapids v Essex Eagles (18:45 BST)
Essex captain Simon Harmer on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra: "There is supposed to be some dew around tonight so we're hoping it will be a little easier to bat on.
"We're hoping that there will be a bit of turn in the first innings then skid on and be beautiful to bat on tonight."
Worcestershire Rapids v Essex Eagles (18:45 BST)
Essex's victory in the second semi-final was a bit more comfortable.
The Eagles made 160-5 thanks to Cameron Delport's blistering half-century at the top of the order.
Derbyshire's reply never got going and they eventually folded to 126 all out.
It set up a first-ever meeting between Essex and Worcestershire in the T20 Blast. And what an occasion for it.

If you weren't with us earlier, then you missed an absolute thriller between Worcestershire and Notts Outlaws in the first semi-final.
Worcestershire's 147-9 looked below par, and they were well out of the game as Notts cruised to 100-1.
The Outlaws needed 11 off the final two overs but Pat Brown and Wayne Parnell gave nothing away and Ben Duckett missed the last delivery to give the Rapids victory by one run.

Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
When dew gets onto the grass what it will do to the ball is allow it to skid on. At the moment we've seen quite a dry surface so the ball has gripped and turned.
So later the ball will skid on nicely and it will be hard for the bowlers to hold the ball and use all their tricks, it will be much more easier to bat.
