2:10pm Right, that's it from here. But scoot over here for the second semi-final between Gloucestershire and Sussex

2:00pm From 7 for 3 after nine deliveries to victory with 8 balls to spare. The partnership of 144 between Dickson and Rew - taking exactly 18 overs - was really quite stunning to watch. And as expected, the Vitality Player of the Match is Sean Dickson for his 78 from 57.

"To be honest, him (Rew) and I don't really say much together," says Dickson. "We just go with the flow, keep our cool. All credit to him, he batted beautifully, too."

As for his ideal finalist out of Gloucestershire-Sussex: "Well, we need Gloucestershire, don't we!" They want the derby...

Clark to Gregory, (no ball) SIX, High full toss, lashed over third and Somerset are through to the final! What a few days they have had against Surrey these last few days. Two serious, serious wins on the bounce in the longest and shortest format. The defending champions triumph by six wickets and do so in style. Credit to 20-year-old James Rew, who walks off with an unbeaten 62 off 44

And the wicket serves to give Lewis Gregory the opportunity to hit the winning runs after his excellent bowling and captaincy in the first half of this semi-final...

Clark to Dickson, OUT, Skied to deep cover... but that only serves to give Sean Dickson the standing ovation he deserves. He came in at 7 for 3, and leaves with Somerset needing just 3 runs from 9 balls thanks to his spectacular knock. Great courage, composure and ball-striking.
