- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 he's gone this time! A perfect line from Amir, tighter to the right-hander, and bending back in with extra bounce. Albert pushed down the line, found the snick, and it's a bit of a juggle from Moores as the ball arrives at chest-height, but that's a huge start! 4/114.2 holes out to long-off! Stone is blown off his feet as he gathers with a slip, but it's a comfortable enough take in the end. Pace off from Howell, Vince had designs on a launch down the ground, but didn't get a big enough piece of it. The end of a mighty stand 130/217.4 attempts the scoop, picks out short third! That's a key wicket, and Pocklington will be relieved! Outside off, full length, Stubbs eyed up the deep third boundary, but couldn't find the elevation to beat the lanky Linde on the edge of the ring 159/3Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL187/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Toby Albert, 0.2 ov), 2-130 (James Vince, 14.2 ov), 3-159 (Tristan Stubbs, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.4 Clarke holes out! Hawks soaring towards the final. Fuller gets the key wicket... hard length and Clarke tries to batter it over long-on, doesn't have the distance. Safely pouched by Currie running round to his right 102/32.4 Munsey picks out deep square leg! It's a favoured scoring area but it brings about his downfall. Steps across and hoicks towards the bigger boundary, doesn't have the legs... and it's well held by Tristan Stubbs coming in off the rope 15/112 skied to long-on, Dawson strikes back! Another slow, loopy one, Haynes tries to do what Clarke did earlier in the over but gets right under it. Goes a long way up, but in the end it's a comfortable catch for Stubbs 100/214.3 Moores picks out long-on! Fuller has another, the game slipping away for Notts. Into the pitch and he goes hard at it, cross-batted down the ground, but it doesn't have the height. Well held in front of the face by Dawson 114/416.1 full and drilled... taken at long-off! Well held by the tumbling Currie running in. Hampshire closing in on another appearance in the final. Linde couldn't quite get under it, checked the drive and it went flat down the ground, into the hands for another boundary catch 131/517.4 middle stump, full pint! Fast and straight, you miss, I hit... 88mph from Baker, smacks middle between the eyes and leaves it flat on the canvas. Baker leaps and punches the air, Howell is a goner. Hampshire almost home and hosed 144/618.1 blasted... and taken in his follow through! Patterson-White can't believe he's out. He's creamed his drive back at the bowler, but Currie has nonchalantly grabbed it going to his left 148/719.2 pace off, rattles the stumps! Pocklington has a big swing and plays all around it. Third wicket of the day for Fuller 155/918.2 hits the off bail! Pennington goes first ball and Hampshire are almost there. Perfect length, beats the bat and just tickles off the bail 148/819.5 knocks him over, Hampshire win it! Stone is bowled stepping away to leg, and this one is done and dusted. A pretty big margin of victory in the end 160/10Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL160 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.06)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (George Munsey, 2.4 ov), 2-100 (Jack Haynes, 11.6 ov), 3-102 (Joe Clarke, 12.4 ov), 4-114 (Tom Moores, 14.3 ov), 5-131 (George Linde, 16.1 ov), 6-144 (Benny Howell, 17.4 ov), 7-148 (Liam Patterson-White, 18.1 ov), 8-148 (Dillon Pennington, 18.2 ov), 9-155 (Joe Pocklington, 19.2 ov), 10-160 (Olly Stone, 19.5 ov)
