    190 is not to be sniffed and Hampshire will back themselves being a very good defending team. But Somerset will also take that given their batting power.

  2. Somerset to chase target of 191

    Hampshire 190-6 v Somerset

    Yorker from Roelof van der Merwe to finish and new batter Nathan Ellis skips through for one. Impressive final figures of 2-29 from his four overs by the left-arm spinner.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Dawson run out 7

    Hampshire 189-6

    A swing and a miss by James Fuller. Tom Banton fails to take it cleanly and Liam Dawson calls for a single, but Banton is able to gather the ball and run him out. After a lengthy debate about whether the batters had crossed, the all-rounder departs.

  4. Mark Davis
    Former Somerset seamer on BBC Radio Somerset

    This is the best I've seen from Somerset at the death under this sort of pressure.

  5. Hampshire 189-5

    Laim Dawson is the new batter. He drives to long-off and goes through for one.

  6. Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent

    That's Tom Prest's highest score in T20 cricket in just his 20th game. What a time to make your highest score.

  7. wicket

    WICKET Prest c Rossouw b van der Merwe 64

    Hampshire 188-5

    That isn't a great ball either, but Tom Prest hits it straight to Rilee Rossouw who takes his second catch of the innings.

  8. Hampshire 188-4

    A full toss and Tom Prest swings it away, just clearing the deep mid-wicket fielder for a maximum.

  9. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Radio Five Live Sports Extra

    If there was a spinner you would want in the final over it's probably Roelof. He's one of the best at bowling yorkers.

  10. Hampshire 182-4

    Spin to finish.

    RVDM bowls full on leg stump and James Fuller squeezes a single to short fine leg.

  11. Melissa Story
    BBC Radio Solent

    Jack Brooks has bowled really well here. He's taken all the pace off the ball.

    It's getting tense before this final over. How many runs can Hampshire get?

  12. Hampshire 181-4 v Somerset

    Jack Brooks has 0-32 from his first three overs - can he keep it tight for Somerset in his last?

    Not a bad job at all - eight from it, but no boundaries or sixes.

    Reaching 200 will be a tall order now for Hampshire.

  13. Hampshire 173-4 v Somerset

    James Fuller is the new Hawks batter and takes two to long leg from the final ball of the over.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Whiteley c Lammonby b Green 27

    Hampshire 171-4

    A low full toss from Ben Green and Ross Whiteley doesn't miss out - smashing it into the crowd at long-on, the fourth maximum of the Hampshire innings.

    But a wider ball by Green proves his undoing as he slashes out to deep backward point where Tom Lammonby proves to have a safe pair of hands.

  15. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We need to see a bit more impetus from Tom Prest now, he's played well and we're going to see a lot more of him in the future.

  16. 50 runs

    for Tom Prest

    Hampshire 162-3 v Somerset

    Tom PrestPA Media

    Peter Siddle again and Tom Prest square cuts his third delivery for four. His fourth T20 50 arrives off just 38 balls with a boundary down the ground. Well batted - but does he have something special left for the last three overs?

    Jarleth Eaton: In the Hollies, and someone dressed as Grumpy has just proposed to someone dressed as Dopey and she said yes. What a sport cricket is. I love Finals Day.

    This is the period when Somerset tend to struggle. It's imperative they restrict Hampshire to 40-45.

  19. Hampshire 151-3 v Somerset

    Good fielding this time denies Tom Prest a boundary as he gloves the ball over the keeper's head.

    He takes two, though, and a single ends the over as he farms the strike. Four more to come.

  20. Could Whiteley make the difference?

    Ged Scott

    Ross Whiteley has already been part of one winning T20 Blast side, with Worcestershire against Sussex four years ago.

    And the Hampshire big-hitter now has it in his hands to stay on course for a second - and help set up a final meeting with another member of that winning Worcestershire side, Lancashire's Luke Wood, who was then at New Road on loan.

    Lying in wait is another man who was on duty in the final that day four years ago, for Sussex, Lancashire opener Phil Salt.

    One thing is for sure. If Whiteley stays in until the end now, it will be very entertaining.
