7:59pm Odinlass : "What's the advantage of finishing second on the table?" If Saturday's Eliminator is rained off - the forecast is not great - second in the table will go through to the final
7:50pm "It's a bit weird being back, but hey, it's one of those things - I'm playing!" beams Samit Patel to Sky. "It's tricky when you take the pace off and get grip, especially for the seamers. Wickets up top in the Powerplay stems the flow of runs - hopefully we can do that, we've been doing it all season."
Will: "Really well bowled from Aspinwall. Despite his teammates getting shelled (and shelling catches) by Patel and Miller, he pinned them down, getting Patel's wicket and only giving away one boundary in his workload."
