4:01pm An underwhelming end to the innings but Hampshire should start the defence confidently. The innings was about Prest, who seemed to struggle for a large part of the innings but did well to score a half-century that helped them get close to 200. Remember, close to 60 overs have been bowled on this surface and that could also come to Hampshire's aid. However, the powerplay could hold key for Somerset and their explosive openers. Ekanth will be back soon with the reply.

van der Merwe to Fuller, OUT, That's a comical run-out! Floated outside off, Fuller looks to go over cover but misses, the keeper fumbles a bit. Dawson, though, calls him through for a run and is run-out. They're checking if the batters crossed before Banton whipped off the bails and it is Fuller. Hold on, Dawson is given out because he has walked out before the decision was given. All sorts of confusion.

LA Dawson run out 1 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

van der Merwe to Prest, OUT, Another full toss, this time Prest holes out to long-on. More loop on this one, once again he gets down on a knee to slog it but does it straight to Rossouw, who makes no mistake.

van der Merwe to Prest, SIX, Just clears deep midwicket! But for starters, it was a juicy full toss. Prest got down on a knee to slog it high enough to beat the man in the deep.

van der Merwe to Fuller, 1 run, Spreared full on middle and leg, dug out towards short fine leg for one.

How close to 200 can Hampshire get? They have six balls, to be bowled by van der Merwe.

Green to Whiteley, OUT, Straight to sweeper cover! Full and going away, Whiteley went with the angle but found the man in the deep to perfection. Lammonby makes no mistake.

Afeef: "Remember when Surrey were on a roll this season winning every match, that was as long as Kieron Pollard was with them. Ever since he had to get a surgery and stopped playing, Surrey lost more than they won and eventually crashed out in the quarter-finals."
