Lancashire need a boundary now! At least one in three balls. They need to get it through or over.
Lancs 146-7 (seven needed off three balls)
Single to Luke Wood into the leg-side.
Tense.
Lancs 145-7 (eight needed off four)
Luke Wood squirts another yorker away through the leg-side and they manage to scramble two.
Lancs 143-7 (10 needed off five)
Nathan Ellis starts with a yorker which Tom Hartley digs out for a single.
Lancs 142-7 (Target 153)
DIRECT HIT, GONE!
Luke Wells tries to keep the strike with a quick single but James Vince swoops and throws down the stumps at the bowlers end.
Superb fielding and Lancashire will need 11 off the last over.
Lancs 141-6 (Target 153)

Ball's in the air OH he's dropped it!!! What on earth is going on there? The fielder absolutely did not know what to do.

And now Luke Wells hits it miles in the air but the third-man fielder just stops and the balls drops in front of him.
Wells survives.

The crowd in full voice now, fans on the edge of their seats, we're not even on our seats we're stood up in the commentary box.
Lancs 130-6 (Target 153)
Okay. Lancashire need 23 off the last two overs.
Where's your money?
Thumbs up for Hampshire, thumbs down for Lancashire.
Lancs 128-6 (Target 153)
That's handy for Lancashire.
Luke Wood starts his innings by guiding James Fuller to the third-man boundary.
25 off 15 required.
Lancs 124-6 (target 153)

Scoreboard pressure is taking it's toll on Lancashire. This is what I love about this game, Lancashire had this game under control BUT Hampshire have wrestled it back. Lancs need some boundaries now!
Lancs 124-6 (Target 153)
What a fightback this has been from Hampshire!
Another wicket goes as Danny Lamb skies James Fuller and James Vince holds on to a good tumbling catch.
29 still needed off 16 balls.

Lancs 123-5
Another brilliant over for Hampshire, this time from Nathan Ellis as just three singles come off it.
The Australia fast bowler mixes up slower balls with pace and Danny Lamb is bamboozled.
Lancashire now need 30 off 18 balls. Really tough ask.
Lancs 123-5 (target 153)

The 19th over is so important. I'd get Fuller on next over and then the last two between Ellis and Wood to close out.

I feel like this might be a good time to bowl Mason Crane. It's the only time ... time for Crane to do some ultra attacking!
