At least we know that if we get the opportunity we bowl first in the semi and Steyn doesn't play.

We scored over 350.

Wood and Crane, in my view, have bowled worse than Steyn.

It was also Wood with two of the dropped catches - one of which was Trego.

Four drops. One missed run-out. That's bad anywhere, but especially on a flat pitch with a small boundary.

But they've done well in previous games and Steyns's one appearance has been poor.

We may yet win this, but we've looked comfortable chasing all tournament.

We may not get the choice in any case.

Best idea for the SF is to learn how to catch.

Just been said on commentary that Steyn hasn't played a game in any form since Jan.Probably good then that he gets a warm up in a game which is meaningless resultwise.

It was only a meaningless result for us since Kent lost

That missed stumping just wraps up our day in the field. So bad.

Brilliant earlier stumping, but yep that was terrible, had two chances as well as the batter had given up his wicket.

Hope Berg hasn't done more than just wind himself.

Steyn back to clinch the win for Somerset.

Now that was a bad over from Steyn. Length ball hit for 4, wide ball hit for 3.

You get a sense that if Somerset somehow throw this away, it's because they know they can't qualify.

Someone needs to bowl a wonder over. Somerset still huge favourites.

I might chuck the ball to Dawson.

Final chance for Steyn.

Maybe some yorkers?

That's up there with one of the worst pieces of umpiring you will ever see.
