Hampshire 125-9 from their 20 overs - Tom Prest top scores with 44
Notts bowled out for 123 after needing three from the last over
Hampshire lifted the T20 trophy in 2010 and 2012
T20 Finals Day at Edgbaston on 18 September
Notts 47-1 (5 overs) - target 126
The batsmen cross and Joe Clarke threads a back-foot punch between cover-point and extra-cover that should have been saved.
Only a remarkable run of wickets can get Hampshire back into this.
And just to make their night worse, Bon Jovi comes on over the PA.

Quote MessageSpin is really their only way of getting wickets. That was brave bowling by Liam Dawson - he tossed it up, a little slower, and James Vince took a good catch under the lights."
Notts 42-1 - target 126
Liam Dawson back. Two dots and Alex Hales can't resist having a dip at the river.
He doesn't get the required contact and James Vince takes a good catch running back from mid-on. Very well held that.
A brief burst from Hales.

Quote MessageThe disparity between these two teams in the bowling department has been very clear."
Notts 42-0 (4 overs) - target 126
I'd say bookmakers are already paying on Notts here.
Scott Currie into the attack.
Three slower balls, the first worked for two wide of deep midwicket, the third a wide.
Working the ball around with ease. No drama.
Notts 35-0 (3 overs) - target 126
Brad Wheal takes over. Hants shoulders already slumping.
Slightly back of a length and Joe Clarke pulls like a Tiger Woods' stinging two-iron over deep square for six to the short boundary.
Then misses his yorker and gets driven past extra-cover for four.

Quote MessageThat was just pure power."
Notts 22-0 (2 overs) - target 126
Liam Dawson from the Pavilion End.
Joe Clarke punches wide of deep midwicket for two and then goes through point for four with perfect timing.
And then Alex Hales, standing way outside leg stump, goes up and over extra-cover for six.
Totally telegraphed what he was going to do and still Dawson couldn't stop him.
Notts 8-0 (1 over) - target 126
Image source, Rex FeaturesA tidy start for Notts against Chris Wood.
Singles and then a push past extra-cover by Alex Hales that just runs for four beyond an agonising dive.
They're underway.
Hampshire 125-9 v Notts
Well that was just about as miserable a T20 innings as you'll see.
Notts have previous in totally embarrassing teams in small chases and you fear this could be another.
Hampshire 125-9 v Notts - innings break
Hampshire Hawks just never got going in their innings.
To be 40-5 after nine overs was not far short of disastrous and although Tom Prest (44) and James Fuller (30) batted well in adding 49, the visitors needed them to stay together deep into the innings.
With Alex Hales, Joe Clarke and Ben Duckett to lead off for Notts, this one could be over quickly - unless Hampshire can also pick up early wickets.

Quote MessageThe start Notts put on in the powerplay was outstanding and that's set the platform for what we've seen. They'll come out and be as positive as normal and chase this with ease.
Hampshire 125-9 v Notts (Crane 6, Wheal0 )
Mason Crane backs away from his stumps and dabs it away square for a couple of runs.
The innings ends with a bye and that's been a highly professional display in the field by Notts Outlaws.
With their batting line-up, surely this will be a formality? Maybe - but as is often said about cricket, it's a funny old game.
Hampshire 119-9 v Notts
Image source, Rex FeaturesA slower ball by Luke Fletcher, Chris Wood tries to carve it over cover, but it's another easy catch, this one taken by Joe Clarke.
Hampshire 117-8 (Wood 10, Crane 1)
Mason Crane is off the mark with one and Chris Wood ends the over with another squeezed down to long leg off the inside edge. Six balls to go - how many more can Hampshire add to the total?

Quote MessageHe's got his skills right this over. Had the plans right last over as well but not the skills. Now he's nailing these yorkers.
Hampshire 115-8 v Notts
Only one run conceded from Dane Paterson's first three deliveries and his fourth brings him another wicket as Scott Currie is leg-before to a yorker. Mason Crane is the new batsman.
Hampshire 114-7 v Notts (Wood 8, Currie 3)
An audacious switch-hit by Scott Currie off Luke Fletcher. He times it so well, he deserves four, but has to settle for a single.
Chris Wood miscues a pull from the next ball but manages to come back for two as Fletcher lumbers in pursuit with the leg-side field spread.
A bouncer to Currie is called no-ball and Wood swings the final delivery towards long-on, but it falls just short of Alex Hales and he takes a single.
Two overs to go.

Quote MessageIf they can keep squeezing that total up to 130-140 that's something to bowl at. That's what Hampshire will be saying - give us something.
Hampshire 106-7 v Notts (Wood 4, Currie 1)
If Samit Patel hits, Scott Currie is gone - but the ball just misses the stumps at the bowler's end and he has his first run.
Dane Paterson sends down two successive wides before Chris Wood squeezes a legit delivery away for two to end the over.
