Aspinwall to Migael Pretorius, SIX, oh dear, a proper full toss and Pretorius nails it into the crowd over long-on. 19 off the over already!
19.4
4
Aspinwall to Migael Pretorius, FOUR, misses the blockhole for the third time in four balls, and all three of them have disappeared to the boundary. It's full at the stumps and Pretorius smokes it past the non-striker
19.2
4
Aspinwall to Craig Overton, FOUR, again smashed past mid-off! Very full outside off, Overton leverages his bottom-hand power and whacks it in the air to the right of that fielder once more
19.1
4
Aspinwall to Craig Overton, FOUR, drilled down the ground! Overpitched outside off, Overton goes hard and beats mid-off to his right
19
W
Balderson to Ben Green, out Caught by Blatherwick!! Third wicket for Balderson, and the second of this over. Slower dipping full toss on the pads, Green swipes across the line but it only goes as far as deep midwicket. Ben Green c Blatherwick b Balderson 3(5)
18.4

Balderson to Craig Overton, FOUR, terrible delivery, full toss on the pads and Overton helps it away to the boundary behind square
18.2
W
Balderson to Kohler-Cadmore, out Caught by Blatherwick!! Miscued in the air and gone! Kohler-Cadmore goes after scoring 81, having struck 32 off his last 13 balls before this one. Was looking dangerous, and this was right in the slot for him too. Looks to launch it down the ground, miscues it off the inside half and it's an easy catch at wide long-on. Kohler-Cadmore c Blatherwick b Balderson 81(52) [4s-6 6s-4]
17.2
W
Anderson to Gregory, out Caught by Tom Hartley!! Again full and wide, this time inside the marker and Gregory makes contact. But it's not good enough as he slices it off the outside half to deep extra cover. Apart from a couple of boundaries, he really struggled out there. Gregory c Tom Hartley b Anderson 15(15) [4s-2]
17.2
Anderson to Gregory, wide, very wide outside off, Gregory can't reach it and the umpire's arms go up to call a wide
17.1
4
Anderson to Gregory, FOUR, Gregory finding some rhythm now! Short of length just outside off, he pulls it in the air and it lands in the gap between long-on and deep midwicket. Fielder tries flicking it back from outside the boundary but ends up flicking it onto the ropes
16.4
4
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, four in a row! Blatherwick being put to the sword here by the well-set Kohler-Cadmore! Short of length, he makes room again and ramps it over short third
16.3
4
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, now he makes room and goes over extra cover! Kohler-Cadmore on the charge with a hattrick of fours! Good length ball angling in, he creates his own width and smashes it over the infield
16.2
4
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, sits up for Kohler-Cadmore and he pulls it for four more. Pace off, back of a length, and the line is on leg stump. He pulls it nicely off the hip
16.1
4
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, hit hard down the ground for four! Low full toss at the stumps, Kohler-Cadmore maintains a good base in the crease from where he can allow his power to come through
16
4
Aspinwall to Gregory, FOUR, finally he gets hold of one. Walks across for a premeditated scoop, gets a full ball and ramps it over short fine
14.4
6
Tom Hartley to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, first boundary struck off Hartley who has been so good so far. Down the track he comes, close to the pitch of the ball and has a clean swing down the ground
13.2
F
Livingstone to Kohler-Cadmore, 2 runs, works it off the pads through midwicket, and some sloppy work allows him to get back for two. Fifty for Kohler-Cadmore! It's not among his quickest but an important one in the semifinal
13.1
6
Livingstone to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, hammered down the ground! Down the track he comes, not quite to the pitch but goes through with the lofted shot and gets enough
12.1
W
Tom Hartley to Sean Dickson, out Stumped!! Such good bowling. The spinners have had a hold on Somerset in these middle overs. Looking to break the shackles, Dickson advances but Hartley pushes it flat and slightly short, not allowing him to get to the pitch. He looks to cut, misses and Hurst does the rest. Sean Dickson st Matthew Hurst b Tom Hartley 16(16) [4s-1]
9.4
4
Livingstone to Sean Dickson, FOUR, drifting down leg, Dickson spots the line early, gets low and smashes the sweep shot through square leg
7.4
W
Aspinwall to James Rew, out Caught by Tom Hartley!! Sharp low catch taken at midwicket! Good length ball on leg, pace off perhaps, and Rew tries swiping across the line. But he drags it off the inside half and Hartley grabs it with both hands at short midwicket. James Rew c Tom Hartley b Aspinwall 1(4)
6.5
4
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, he got away with the previous ball but not this time. Down leg again, another poor delivery and Kohler-Cadmore tickles it fine
6.4
4
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, loosener and put away! Short of length delivery down leg, sits up for Kohler-Cadmore and he pulls hard behind square
6.1
Blatherwick to Kohler-Cadmore, 1 run, full delivery on middle and leg, driven to long-on
6
W
Anderson to Abell, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Goes for the cut for a third consecutive time but the ball isn't there for it. It's too close to off stump, Abell gets cramped up and drags it back onto the stumps off the under-edge. Something to celebrate for Anderson at the end of an expensive over. Abell b Anderson 26(14) [4s-3 6s-1]
5.5
4
Anderson to Abell, FOUR, this time the length is there for him, so is the width, and Abell cuts it beautifully over backward point
5.3
4
Anderson to Abell, FOUR, full and wide again, this time Abell goes for the conventional shot and nails the drive through point
5.2
6
Anderson to Abell, SIX, scooped away for six! Full and wide, Abell walks across premeditatedly, gets low and executes it to perfection
4.2
6
Balderson to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, the catch is taken but in the crowd. He advances down, finds a ball dug in short and still manages to nail the pull shot over midwicket. Balderson's not quick which helps his cause but still a terrific shot
2.5
6
Balderson to Kohler-Cadmore, SIX, where's that gone? It's swirling in the air, fielder at deep square leg is interested, but it just about clears him. Angling into the stumps on a length, and Kohler-Cadmore breaks the shackles as he uses his feet to slog across the line. The contact is good enough
2.2
4
Balderson to Abell, FOUR, misfield and four! Good length around off, nips away as Abell looks to defend and rolls off a thick edge to short third. The fielder is undone by the spin on the ball and ends up overrunning it
2.1
W
Balderson to Will Smeed, out Bowled!! Dream start for Balderson. Good length ball that cuts in, goes through the gate and hits the top of middle as Smeed looks to drive on the up. Certainly some movement early on and Lancashire are making good use of the toss so far. Will Smeed b Balderson 5(5) [4s-1]
