6:30pm Right, not much time to catch your breath today - the toss for the final is imminent! Join Andrew Miller over on the BBB-coverage of Hampshire vs Somerset now! That's all from here
6:23pm No surprises, Chris Lynn is the player of the match: "We've still got one more job to. Personally, I can really top it off if I go again tonight. I really like this shirt, I hope they'll have me back next year." 210 runs from three innings - I reckon they might, you know..
[On becoming the first Finals Day centurion]: "I probably wanted six sixes more! I wasn't worried about the LBW (the final delivery of the over), it was about trying to join Yuvraj (Singh) and Polly (Kieron Pollard)...
6:16pm SwissScars: "all of them came from Chris Lynn's bats. (he used two bats)" Ha, yes, an important correction. In fact, most of them (6 of 11) came with the second one...
6:13pm There's only one man to talk about now. Chris Lynn finishes on 108* off 51 deliveries, against his former county, too. Northants players are queuing up to shake his hand, and there's a nice moment as Lynn briefly consoles Pope.
The absurdity of it all is carried in the chasing scorecard - the next highest scorer was James Vince, with 12 off 13 deliveries, and no other batter made it to double figures!

Scrimshaw to Fuller, no run, Sharp, 82mph, into the hip, worn by Fuller
Hampshire have struck 11 sixes in this innings... and all of them have come from Lynn's bat. Those five have destroyed what jeopardy there was. George Scrimshaw to bowl his first over with 8 needed from 18. "Yeah, cheers skipper..."

Pope to Lynn, no run, Misses the sweep, and given LBW! Lynn reviews immediately, as that looked to be outside the line of off stump, and missing... yep, not out! A dot ball at least for Pope. Doesn't go for six sixes, but his over has been the one taken apart to leave Hampshire on the brink of victory
Six in six, do we have it...

Pope to Lynn, SIX, FIVE IN A ROW! And that's the biggest of the lot, steps across before the ball's released, knows its going to be outside off and absolutely CREAMS this deep into Cow Corner
