Oddly Hales is playing for Notts be neither Bell or Woakes for warks, maybe they are hungover from the test celebrations.

Harry Gurney also playing and bowling beautifully gets Chopra early.

Warks going along well, and Trott's 70* from 81 balls

[hopeforthebest]

Ambrose goes for 98 now sad. Warks may not win this game but they look likely to make a total that ensures their RR is sufficient to qualify. Not sure for us that playing at home is such an advantage.

Ton for Trott.

Ton for Trott.

Yes a fine hundred bu his reaction was a little emotional ( I thought he was almost tearful) suggesting he's not fully over his problem.

With 302 on the board qualification is guaranteed it's just matter to see if Somerset can can win and Notts lose for the last QF place.

Not sure for us that playing at home is such an advantage.

But surely better to play Leicestershire, Derbyshire or Northants, than Yorkshire, Essex or Gloucestershire whether home or away?

[Hampshire]

Am I correct in thinking Trott was dropped from the Warks t20 side and won't be playing this Saturday?

You've got to face the top teams sometime so to me it makes little difference when.

[Making_Splinters]

Ton for Hales, on Sky too boot. Not much better way of answering a call up to an England squad.

[ianp1970]

Notts suffering from the powerplay effect.

Why don't team in total control just play these 5 overs the same as the previous 30?

[ianp1970]

Read's dismissal might be the end for Notts.

Consolation of reaching QFs if Somerset lose...

[st_brendy]

Granted I am only basing this on today and the t20 QF, but I'm not sure that Warks/Birmingham should be playing Gordon at Finals Day this weekend. When the pressure is on, he seems to crumble. Badly.

[Hampshire]

Oh Gordon... What have you done...

Anyone think Gordon has a suspect action?

[ianp1970]

Awful last ball from Gordon there

Give away a single, or even a boundary, but not EIGHT!!
