Nottinghamshire win by 23 balls and are in their first T20 final since 2006. Pace off the ball key throughout the match, but where it was legspin for Hampshire it was Notts' slower balls and cutters from Steven Mullaney and latterly Harry Gurney which made the difference. Samit Patel struck first ball to remove Shahid Afridi, but while James Vince was going Hampshire were in control. However, Mullaney changed the game and in the end it was comfortable for Notts. So it's Nottinghamshire v Birmingham in the final. We'll be back with you at 6.15pm for that...see you soon!

Gurney to Abbott, OUT, and another! This is brilliant from Gurney. He's confounding them with the back-of-the-hand slower balls, this one is popped in the air into the off side and Christian runs round from cover

Gurney to Berg, OUT, Wessels at long-on again! Nottinghamshire closing in. It's the slower balls from Gurney, not pace to work with, lofts down the ground and the fielder didn't have to move

Gurney, the left-armer, back for the death
