Full and straight to Tom Bailey who is pinned on the boot.
Easy decision there for umpire Graham Lloyd to raise his finger.

Marchant de Lange then with his last over and possibly one eye on the clock and the cut-off time to get this penultimate over done in time.
Lancashire 173-6published at 18 overs
Jones 32, Lamb 5
Danny Lamb the new man in at eight and he picks up a fantastic four off the last ball of that Tom Lammonby spell with a dismissive square cut.
Lammonby finishes with a useful 1-31 from his four overs.
Lancashire 166-6published at 17.2 overs
But Rob Jones is still ticking along nicely as he hammers Tom Lammonby back down the ground for a straight six.

Lancashire 159-6published at 17 overs
Three overs to go as Somerset keep on hauling this back in the field.
WICKET Croft c Green b De Lange 11published at 16.5 overs
Lancashire 157-6
And the big South African comes up with a breakthrough after Rob Jones had earlier ramped him four down to third man.
Steven Croft doesn't get a sweet enough connection on a pull into the legside and Ben Green diving forward off the square leg rope takes a fantastic catch low to the turf.

Marchant de Lange into his third over.
Expensive so far, but still a real threat in these death overs...
Lancashire 150-5published at 16 overs
Jones 15, Croft 10
Just five more runs come Lancashire's way as Tom Lammonby bowls another brilliantly-tight over.
Lightning's 150 comes up as we move into the last four overs.

And Lewis Gregory does indeed give Tom Lammonby another over.
His third now...

Lancashire 145-5published at 15 overs
Roelof van der Merwe 4-0-27-4
Six balls, six runs off Roelof van der Merwe's last over.
He takes 4-27 and how crucial might those figures end up being later on?

Roelof van der Merwe returns for his fourth and final over...
Lancashire 139-5published at 14 overs
Jones 12, Croft 3
Lightning still hovering around 10-an-over.
But only five wickets in hand now and still six overs to go.
Stalwart Steven Croft comes out to join Rob Jones and survives being run out early doors as he scampers through for a leg bye.
WICKET Vilas c Smeed b Lammonby 42published at 13.1 overs
Lancashire 134-5
Image source, Rex FeaturesThis could be a pivotal moment....
Lancashire lose their fifth wicket and their skipper Dane Vilas just as he was approaching 50.
Lewis Gregory's gamble to give Tom Lammonby another over pays immediate dividends as Vilas picks out Will Smeed on the deep square leg rope.
Lancashire 134-4published at 13 overs
Vilas 42, Jones 10
Great skills from both Dane Vilas and Rob Jones as they each find the boundary for four.
Vilas muscles one through deep midwicket before Jones bravely scoops a full length ball on his stumps over the wicketkeeper for four.
13 off the over.

Marchant de Lange returns for a second over.
Can he make an impact?
Lancashire 121-4published at 12 overs
Vilas 34, Jones 4
Tidy over that from Tom Lammonby as he concedes just eight runs and doesn't go for a boundary.
If you're wondering why Lewis Gregory has't put himself on to bowl yet, he's nursing a minor injury apparently.
