8.03pm: Well, Worcestershire defended 147 in the semi... but only by one run! So this could be tight, even if the expected dew doesn't take effect. Essex will probably be happy enough with that bowling display, Simon Harmer again showing himself a spinner in his prime; can his batsmen now finish the job, to secure what would be a maiden T20 title? Not before Moeen Ali, Pat Brown and co have had their say, that's for sure. Join Andrew Miller for the Finals Day final stretch in 15

Bopara to D'Oliveira, OUT, pace off this time, clattered to leg... and picks out deep midwicket! So Essex end the innings with a wicket, Worcestershire's struggle is over - but do they have enough?
