    Ian (the neutral): Surrey will walk this.

    They look well on top at the moment.

    Somerset's bowlers are going to have to do something very, very special if they are to turn this match around.

    Oh, what a catch! Again!

    Craig Overton edges the ball to where third slip might normally be, and Tom Curran dives off to his left for a stunning one-handed effort.

    What a start by Craig Overton. Not a lot wrong with that delivery. He's a big man with a big stride and he hit the ball on the up.

    Craig Overton is quickly away, drilling his first past the bowler for four, and then nudging another off his hips.

    Somerset are in a position they haven't experienced too often after that superb group stage - under pressure.

    Surrey on top on the pitch but intriguingly poised in the skies.

    This could go either way. That ugly looking cloud coming in from the direction of Small Heath, that is.

    After a short spell when it seemed you could count as many brollies and empty seats in the crowd as faces, the sun is shining again.

    The 'rain radar' scans for the rest of the day suggest there might be a few minor delays, yet that it otherwise seems reasonably clear.

    But, looking over to the right from the Cannon Hill Park end, you can't help feeling that there is a bit more to unload.

    Another one bites the dust.

    Ben Green skies it high into the offside, and Sean Abbott bellows that it is his to claim. Which he does.

    Brilliant catch!

    Jamie Smith launched himself off the ground to get that ball.

    The writing appears to be on the wall for Somerset.

    Is he a bird? Is he a plane? What a catch. Plucked it out one handed. An important wicket because Somerset had built up some momentum.

    Oh, what a catch! What. A. Catch!

    Lewis Gregory's thick top edge flies high to Jamie Smith's right, and the keeper is equal to the test, pulling off a marvellous one-handed catch!

    Dickson seems to be breaking loose, cutting Tom Curran high and away over the point boundary for six.

    Just five overs to go.

    Somerset have to really start thinking about pushing down on the accelerator. Because at the moment they are not in this game at all.

    Lewis Gregory needs to get going, and he comes down the pitch to slap a short one from Tom Curran past midwicket for four - the first for a while.

    The sun got one of the biggest cheers of the day when it appeared just now.

    Abbott mixes his pace up well for a tight over, and it has stopped raining! For now...

    That is the end of Tom Abell. He just missed the ball, it was a wild hack, no bat face to hit the ball with. Horrible.
