3.45pm: So, Hampshire need 170 to make it into the final. That seemed a slightly disjointed innings, with only Riki Wessels and Samit Patel getting in... but then, it's not far shy of what was a winning score for Birmingham in the first match. Pace off looks key, so Sodhi and Christian could be key in defending as target. Can Hampshire Boom-Boom their way to victory? Find out with Gnasher in 10
