12.22pm Well, Hampshire finish on a tidy 150 all out from 20 overs. And it's all on the efforts of Joe Weatherley, whose 71 from 50 rescued the team from a desperate start. And much of that was instigated by the doughty Josh Davey, who finishes with figures of 4 for 34. Marchant de Lange had a slightly off day, 4 overs for 42 despite a tight first over. Will Somerset regret not giving that final over to Overton?
Here's Weatherley: "We'd have taken it from 30 for 3. We'd have liked 160. The pacers skidded on nicely, the cutters gripped. It's been a few years, great to be back, what a day. We defended 120 at Trent Bridge, so we can defend anything."
Sukhanya : "150 is neither too high, nor too low. Experts term these as 'In between' totals. Hampshire should be all fired up on the field. Just hunt like Hawks! A thriller of a chase on the cards! "
Jrm: "Still i think somerset have gave atleast 15-20 runs more, can backfire while chasing."
Jrm: "Tom banton needs to kill this in powerplay"
Saurabh will be here shortly for the run-chase

De Lange to finish off. Big call. Overton will go unfinished
