Commentary

Somerset are through to the semifinals, where they would be taking on Surrey. Northamptonshire would look back on the season fondly. They played some good cricket throughout and gave the fans plenty to cheer for. Even today, despite being marred by injuries, they gave the defending champions a run for their money. Alas, in the end, it was not enough. We hope you enjoyed the coverage. It is time for Darpan Tikiya and Pragadeesh to sign off.

Tom Banton [Player of the Match]: (On reaching the finals day) When we started the campaign, it was one of our goals. Four finals and it's a magnificent achievement . I worked on a small technical stuff. I love winning games for Somerset. There was a noise around the wicket. There was seam movement and Willey bowled well and we tried to minimise damage in the powerplay. We looked after the matchups and it worked in our favour. When Willey is on the crease, the match isn't over. (On facing Surrey) On paper, they are the best team in the country but when we play our best cricket, we are hard to beat. Looking forward to the final

The presentation ceremony is coming up.

Somerset win by 17 runs.

Tom Banton 75 (43) | Lewis Gregory 20* (12) & 3/35 (4)
David Willey 57 (39) & 1/33 (4) | Ben Sanderson 1/28 (4)

The defending champions have made it to the semifinals! It is a victory that was set up by their batters. Two Toms - Banton and Kohler-Cadmore - notched up zestful half-centuries to help them put up an imposing total on the board. Though, Northamptonshire were not going to give up without a fight. After all, a capacity crowd had gathered at their home ground to spur them on.

The start was sedate. But soon, the complexion of the innings changed. It was skipper Willey who led the charge with a fighting half-century. Effervescent cameos from Vasconcelos and Broad kept them in the hunt. But with a steep ask, every over that was slightly under-par made it worse for them. Lewis Gregory bowled a spell of finesse, deploying hard lengths and deceptive slower balls to bag 3 wickets and peg Northamptonshire back.

It even started raining midway, but Somerset fielders never complained. They carried on doing their jobs and let the umpires do theirs. In the end, they win with a comfortable margin.

19.6 Ben Green to Ashton Agar, IN THE AIR...DROPPED! Doesn't matter, Somerset are through to the finals day again! Pitched up on a fuller length, Agar squeezes it and the ball goes straight up. Gregory settles but he couldn't hold onto it

19.5 Ben Green to Ashton Agar, pitched up on a fuller length, Agar drives it to the left of long-on for a brace

19.4 Ben Green to Ashton Agar, SIX! Agar is playing a fantastic cameo but he's producing goods after the result is sealed. Pitched up and outside off, squeezed over backward point for a maximum

19.3 Ben Green to Ashton Agar, SIX! Mighty strike! Green bowls a juicy full toss and Agar wallops it over deep square leg for a maximum

19.2 Ben Green to Ashton Agar, FOUR! Neatly done. Gets the low full toss. The ball follows him but Agar reverses to ramp this over short third for a boundary

19.1 Ben Green to Lewis McManus, fuller delivery on off-stump, driven down to extra cover for a single

Ben Green [2-0-28-0] to bowl.

It was a high full toss and was referred to the TV Umpire for a no-ball check. It turns out fine and renders 38 runs to win off the last 6 balls.

18.6 Jake Ball to Lewis McManus, full toss and outside leg, helped to fine leg for a single

Will Smeed ran a long way to long leg and then put in a dive. Alas, it wasn't enough to stop the boundary.

18.5 Jake Ball to Lewis McManus, short of a length and outside leg, McManus helps the pull behind square and gets a brace. The fielder at deep square leg covered good ground to his right but flicks the ball when his right foot was touching the ropes

18.4 Jake Ball to Ashton Agar, yorker length outside off, Agar jams it down to long-on for a run

18.3 Jake Ball to Lewis McManus, slow delivery across off, heaved to deep mid-wicket for a single

Ball clutches onto his knee for a bit before going back to his run up mark.
