Atleast Vince has found some form, so he can carry drinks for England

Hants probably needed more in the first PP, given the tired pitch.

Yep. The 2nd and 3rd overs going for a combined total of two really hurt us. If we had another 20 runs on the board at this stage, we might have still been able to post 135 - 140.

Agreed. Teams should be able to reach at least 150 for a decent T20 pitch.

Excellent with the ball from Lancashire. Hats off to Lilley, 2 for 11 off 4, stunning. That said, I don't think these runs are going to be easy to get.

Vince very impessive.

Well if you're going to beat us (and you are), then I would rather you get them very easily. If you get them seven wickets down with one over left, then that would really give me no hope at all over this pitch for the final. Doubt I'd even bother to watch it. 110 could end up being a winning score in the final.

I don't think the pitch is terrible, it's just not a pitch where you can come out swinging. Both Vince and Levi showed that you can score on this pitch and had someone stuck with Vince then he'd have been able to free his arms. Shah's dismissal in particular was terrible.

I hope our batsman are not going to make the same mistakes.

Giving Wood the ball is admitting defeat before we've started

Gosh this is dull. Hope Buttler can give this a little bit of fire.

As I say, I am not looking forward to watching the final. Hardly entertainment.

Lancs will finish in this over, with Wood bowling

Called it, he is TERRIBLE, should of stuck with Smith

Two big blows from Faulkner wraps this up.

That was far harder work than it should have been.

Wood shouldn't of bowled AT ALL, constantly goes at 9an over
