Notts 96-8 - need 30 from 24 balls
Suddenly it's the bowlers who have to bring Notts home.
Notts 96-8 - need 30 in 25 balls
Oh go away!
What the hell is this?
Steven Mullaney does exactly the same thing and flicks to deep square!
This time it's a really great catch from D'Arcy Short running in.
Notts 96-6 - need 30 in 26 balls
So having been totally waltzing home, Notts have now got a little work to do.
And Calvin Harrison gets stuck in with a gorgeous punched off-drive over the infield for four.
But then tries to pick one up over deep square and gets caught on the fence!
Oh my goodness what is going on!
Notts 91-6 - need 35 in 30 balls
Mason Crane's last over.
Single then three dots to the new man Calvin Harrison.
Then a nice drive for a single to deep cover.
Crane finishes with 1-26 from his four.
Notts 88-6 need 38 in 36 balls
Chris Wood with two dots and then Ben Slater pulls to deep midwicket for one and then rocks back to take two wide of deep cover.
But then nails a cut straight to point and Joe Weatherley has held a great catch! Straight to him but travelling.
Asking rate above a run a ball.
Notts 84-5 - need 42 in 42 balls
Steven Mullaney survives the hat-trick and plays out the over.
A double-wicket maiden from Liam Dawson.
Well it needed something crazy for Hampshire to get back in it.
They've got a very slight faint whiff now.
Notts 84-5 - target 126
Oh goodness they really are paddling into choppy waters.
Samit Patel done by one that floats down leg side.
He stumbles out of his ground and it's a straightforward stumping.
Samit never looked comfortable.
Notts 83-4 - target 126
Almost an identical chance, this time for James Fuller going back at cover...and he clings on.
Joe Clarke trying to work against the turn and perishes.
Notts making unnecessary heavy weather of this.

Quote MessageIt has to be the lights. There is no other excuse for that. It's just gone straight through him."
Notts 83-3 need 43 in 48 balls
Scott Currie with the 12th over.
Samit Patel can't get him away, struggling with his timing so far. Three dots and a single.
Joe Clarke tries to give himself some room and mistimes a cut for one.
Then...oh wow!
Samit plunks one almost straight up, it lobs to extra-cover and Brad Wheal has shelled it. Stinker.
Notts 81-3 (11 overs) - target 126
Aha, here's something to wake everyone up.
Joe Clarke leans back and pulls hard and high and way back over the deep midwicket fence.
He's past 400 runs for the tournament now.
45 to win in 54 balls.
Notts 71-3 (10 overs) - target 126
Brad Wheal opens up the 10th over with three dots and only concedes three singles.
If Hampshire can just get Joe Clarke here...
No don't be silly. They need five an over for goodness sake.
Notts 68-3 (9 overs) - target 126
Ah it's gonna be one of them isn't it.
The slow death.
Which means zero entertainment.

Quote MessageThat was a flatter, quicker delivery. One brings two, brings three - there is still a chance here for Hampshire."
Notts 68-3 - target 126
And here's another one.
Mason Crane is back and a ball after almost having Tom Moores caught off a top edge, has him lbw trying to pull a ball that skids on and traps him plumb lbw.

Notts 66-2 (8 overs) - target 126
Wickets will delay things a little longer.
Notts 66-2 - target 126
Ben Duckett tries to force a single to mid-off and gets his angles wrong in running up the wicket.
He has to divert around the bowler, then dive, and he's beaten by James Fuller's throw.

Quote MessageI know how he backs himself to play that shot."
Notts 64-1 (7 overs) - target 126
Mason Crane with some leg spin.
Ben Duckett with a reverse sweep and he's nailed it to the backward-point boundary out towards the Bridgford Road.
Oh yes, goes again and this time gets it in front of point to the cover fence.
Notts 53-1 (6 overs) - target 126
Final over of the powerplay, Chris Wood is back.
Joe Clarke has a run down and misses, then plunks one leg side for one.
Ben Duckett misses with a cut and then drives...just over the head of mid-off. Bit of a mis-hit but clears James Fuller, one of the tallest men on the field.
A very productive powerplay and surely nothing stopping Notts from here.
