Commentator: Alan Gardner
5.42pm: Professional hit job from the Hawks. Solid knocks from two of their top order, in Joe Weatherley and James Vince, then all of the bowlers doing their bit to wrap up Nottinghamshire in their run chase. Fuller finishes with 4 for 26 despite conceding 13 from his first over. Quick turnaround now, with the final due to start in an hour's time... Hampshire have played four finals and won three of them. They'll be up against two-time champions Northants looking to claim a record fourth title. Join us for that in a bit. Bye!
