So that's to come next week. All four quarter-finals of the Blast won by the team batting second then, I wonder if that trend will continue on Finals Day. Congratulations to Derbyshire on reaching county cricket's big day for the first time. Their supporters will enjoy the rest of the weekend, I hope you do too. Cheerio now.

So now we know our four teams who'll be heading to Edgbaston on Finals Day on Saturday 21 September.

Can Worcestershire become the first team to retain the trophy or will one of the other three get their names on the silverware.

As ever, it'll be an action-packed day with all three games back-to-back as long as the weather behaves itself.

The two semi-finals will take place at 11:00 BST and 14:30 BST before the final from 18:45 BST.

BBC Sport will have live radio commentary, text updates and in-play video highlights throughout the day.

Here's the winning moment for Derbyshire as Alex Hughes cracks one off the back foot to the boundary to signal the celebrations.

More from Dominic Cork: "I'm just pleased for the players and supporters who will make that trip to Edgbaston.

"Realistically can we win it? of course we can, but it's going to take some hard work.

"I try to take the pressure off because everybody knows we have not been the most successful county.

"The sun comes up the next morning. Just go out there, execute your plans and try and enjoy it."

Derbyshire T20 coach Dominic Cork: "I am chuffed to bits, I tried to stay calm, I was here about five hours before the game started but today was a clinical performance and that's all we wanted. I thought we were excellent."

Leaving..and there are no surprises with rogue balls luckily, Worcestershire against Notts.

Derbyshire will play Essex in the first semi-final.

Draw time and Derbyshire are first out.

Madsen is asked what it is like having Dominic Cork as a coach: "It's brilliant, he brings such a wealth of knowledge and that reassurance he brings us has put us in a great position."

Wayne Madsen: "Huge relief to reach Finals Day. In the last few years we have developed in culture in T20 cricket and it's been a great journey. The chase was made easy by the start, it was a pretty awesome effort from us, we have really clicked as a bowling and batting unit."

Gloucestershire skipper Klinger confirms he will retire at the end of the season and we will hear next from man-of-the-match Wayne Madsen.

Derbyshire produced a fine display in the field, Matt Critchley with this superb caught and bowled.

From 29-0 after three overs it was a modest 135 for Gloucestershire and skipper Michael Klinger says: "We got outplayed tonight."

Ok while we wait for the draw and some post-match reaction from Bristol, let's take a quick look at the highlights.

I think it'll be a superb Finals Day.

Obviously I fancy Notts, but on their day, all four teams could turn up and put in a performance to take the trophy.

Alex Hughes and Matt Critchley were magnificent with the ball for Derbyshire and the way Ravi Rampaul finished off the innings typified their efforts.

They've absolutely deserved their spot at Finals Day.

And we will see who Derbyshire will face in the semi-finals on 21 September because the draw will be coming up soon.

They have won with 17 balls to spare and their band of travelling supporters are dancing in the aisles, a flag proclaiming "Derbados" being proudly held aloft.
